LinkOptimizer 4.3 Supports InDesign & Photoshop CS5

Press Release
Zevrix Solutions is pleased to announce the release of LinkOptimizer 4.3, an update to its popular workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign job, save processing time and reduce production costs.
LinkOptimizer works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert various image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:
* Scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign
* Change their resolution to 300 ppi
* Convert all RGB images to CMYK
* Resave all JPEG images as TIFF
* Run a Photoshop Action on each image
At the end of processing, LinkOptimizer will reimport images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position. The resulting savings of disk space, time and resources can be dramatic:
* Save gigabytes of disk space.
* Accelerate document output (for image-rich projects, the time can be reduced from hours to minutes).
* Save endless hours – and even days – of manually optimizing image size, resolution and formats.
* Reduce job turnaround drastically and cut costs through faster processing.
The new version makes LinkOptimizer compatible with Adobe InDesign and Photoshop CS5. Both LinkOptimizer and LinkOptimizer Light versions are updated.
Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer 4.3 can be purchased from the Zevrix Solutions web site for $259.95 (USD) as well as from authorized resellers. The update is free for the LinkOptimizer 4.x users and $98.78 to upgrade from previous versions. Trial is also available for download. LinkOptimizer is available for Mac OS X 10.4.2-10.6, a Universal Binary, and works with Adobe InDesign CS-CS5.
