DreamSuite was designed to be useful for your everyday design projects. Great care was put into building an infinite amount of variation into the effects so the work you create is styled after your own tastes and avoids the "canned" look so many graphics programs are known for.

INTUITIVE ONSCREEN CONTROLS
If you are used to working in Photoshop then DreamSuite will make you feel right at home. DreamSuite features advanced onscreen image transformation tools, full support for layer transparency, layering multiple effects on top of each other and much, much more.
In DreamSuite each effect has a set of controls that allow the user to adjust the effect's visual settings. Any onscreen tools associated with an effect are tied to the effect controls so the user may draw onscreen with an effect path and then adjust the controls that affect just that path.
All DreamSuite effect controls generate dynamically so you can interactively adjust the visual onscreen with the tool and the effect updates. In the example to the left, you can click to transform the puzzle piece or select it and then apply custom settings. Custom settings are associated with the selected component of the effect. Whenever you change the component the visual will update itself to the new parameters.
DREAMSUITE OTHER FEATURES
DreamSuite has hundreds of great features - too many to list here. Below you will find some of the more important product features and benefits.
CONTROL INTERRUPTS
As you adjust controls the effect updates itself automatically. An intelligent control interrupt system allows you to interrupt the effect if it is updating itself.
ADVANCED PREVIEW SYSTEM
DreamSuite's adjustable preview features a 1600% marquee zoom capability with built in panning support. Previews can be shown in Proxy mode so they render blazingly fast regardless of the image size.
SAVE AND REPLAY EFFECTS WITH VISUAL PRESETS
Save and replay your effect settings for instant results.
Presets are Resolution Independent so you can get the same results while working on any sized file. Presets are saved in a Visual Preset Catalog with thumbnails showing you previews of the preset effects.
MEMORY DOTS
Click a memory dot on the interface and DreamSuite remembers your current settings. You can explore with your design ideas and come back to where you were with a single click.
DYNAMIC IMAGE AND EFFECT TRANSFORMATION
Effects and images can be freeform transformed multiple times with no loss to quality as DreamSuite always stores and works from the original image when generating effect layers. Everything is written dynamically so the user works in a true non-linear fashion and can go forward or back by adjusting the controls.
INTELLIGENT PHOTO PLACEMENT TOOL
DreamSuite features a unique photo placement tool that allows you to place images inside of effects and have the images automatically scaled and orientated to match the angle and perspective of the effect it goes into.
FILE OPEN AND SAVE SUPPORT
DreamSuite features file loading and saving support for: .psd, .tif, .bmp, .jpg, .gif, .png file formats. Saving in Photoshop format will export the effect layers into a single transparent layer in a Photoshop native document.
HELP ON DEMAND
DreamSuite lets you hold your mouse over a control for a few seconds and a floating window appears that contains comprehensive detailed instructions about the control. This powerful feature gives you instant access to control information without the need to look in a manual or use a separate help system that takes you away from the task at hand. The DreamSuite tool tips are fast and efficient to use.
