For Immediate Release Contact: Kent Briggs August 24, 1998 PRIVACY IS NO PROBLEM FOR CRYPTAPIX Houston, TX -- Briggs Softworks announces the release of CryptaPix 2.0, the latest graphics tool that allows PC users to view and maintain their image file collections. Strong encryption capabilities inside an easy to maneuver interface sets it apart from other graphics viewers. New for version 2.0 is a redesigned interface with many file management enhancements that allow users to copy, move, delete, rename, and adjust properties of image files. Image manipulation functions such as resize, crop, rotate, and mirror have also been added. The revamped thumbnail system lets users manage image files visually without having to remember individual file names. Retained from previous versions is the handy slide show feature, allowing users to view or process sets of images without having to store them in the same directory. CryptaPix supports six of the most popular raster file formats including BMP, GIF, JPG, PCX, PNG, and TIF. Three encryption algorithms including 160-bit Blowfish are available to encrypt your confidential business graphics or private image collections, making them unviewable without the proper password. CryptaPix is available for the Windows 95, 98, and NT platforms with a license fee of $29 plus S&H. Multi-user site licenses are also available.
