Talk:Alias Eclipse

Untitled

Several of you appear to be blithering idiots. Sorry, but truth is truth.Eclipse was a very well-known high-end image editing program before PhotoShop became famous. It is quite simple to find references on the web to substantiate this, if one has the search skills of a third-grader or better. Here's one which took me all of thirty seconds to find:

Alias Eclipse / Alias|Wavefront Eclipse

Alias bought Full Color Publisher and marketed their SGI Irix-based image retouching program, Eclipse. It used a proxy mode and post render, similar to Live Picture, where the brush strokes are recorded during the interactive editing then rendered at high resolution on the full size image in a post process.

Version 3.0 was the first version released by Contex, a Xyvision company, when Xyvision bought Eclipse from Alias|Wavefront in summer 1997. Barco purchased Xyvision since, and Eclipse had been picked up by Formvision, who reported they plan on porting Eclipse to Windows NT on their web site at www.formvision.de. The site was down when I last checked.

A former A|W staffer writes that there was a version of Eclipse that ran on Sun Solaris. That version was built for Japanese reseller Konica, with a Japanese UI.

If you can't handle single paragraph unbiased descriptions of fairly famous software (Eclipse was the tool of several very well-known photographers in the late 90's) then perhaps you'd better shut down this ridiculous travesty of a so-called encyclopaedia Would any of you deleters happen to understand the meaning of the word "encyclopaedia", by any chance ?
