Stormdance has released version 2.1 of Antenna - Web Design studio. This new release is a FREE update for all existing customers, and can be downloaded from www.stormdance.net - If you're not a customer yet the software is free-to-try and fully functional for 16 days, so you can take it for a test drive.
New features include:
New Photo Gallery Creator
Antenna 2.1 features a new Photo Lab for generating professional photo galleries, complete with quick access thumbnail strip. Another useful time saver is the automatic resizing of large photos to a size suitable for the Internet - without affecting the originals. Now you can present your digital photographs to the world in minutes. You can also export your galleries to your hard drive, ready for writing to a CD-ROM - an ideal way to share your photos with family and friends.
Powerful New Colour Mixer
Choosing the right combination of colours for your web site is very important. Antenna's new colour mixer includes a host of features to help you get it right. It has a colour wheel with complimentary colours directly opposite each other - so you can easily see and pick complimentary and harmonious colours without the usual guesswork. You can mix in Red/Green/Blue and Hue/Saturation/Value colour models - and also work with hexidecimal web colours directly. A colour preview swatch enables you to see exactly what colour you are about to pick - and even the colour sliders themselves display range previews so you can see beforehand what effect adjusting a slider is going to have and find the exact colour you want quickly.
Custom palettes are now shared between all the controls in Antenna. You can save and recall named custom palettes, blend, swap and sort colours in the palette, and automatically create palettes based on photographs.
Fixes
Version 2.1 addresses the following issues noticed in version 2.0 - Some types of GIF image were imported with incorrect dimensions. An issue relating to copying and renaming folders has also been addressed.
Hope you like the new version - comments and feedback welcome - drop me a line.
Notes: Requires a minimum of Windows'98 or later and Internet Explorer 6 or later installed. Recommended spec: 1GHz+ and Windows 2000 or XP for best performance and multilingual features. Please uninstall any previous release using Windows Control Panel before installing the new version. Button and Gradient presets created with earlier versions will be preserved providing you don't manually delete the old folder. After installing you will need to enter your existing License Key to activate the update.
