These examples are only just a few ways you can use the products in tandem, among many, many other ways!

ImageWell: The Handy Image Editor that will save you time & money!

ImageWell is a small, but powerful, image editing application that lets you quickly resize, crop, watermark, edit your images, take screenshots and then instantly upload them to the web, save to your computer or email them to a friend. At the click of a button, the image is sent and a handy URL is automatically copied to the clipboard for quickly pasting into a post, blog page, email message, or any other document.

ImageWell also lets you annotate your images with text, shapes, arrows and lines, quickly and easily. And it doesn’t stop there – add a drop shadow, a shaped border, flip or rotate your image, adjust the sharpness, brightness, contrast and saturation. Use the screen grab feature to grab a selection, grab application window, timed or full screen grab, or instantly add screen grabs to existing images on the canvas. Other handy features include URL history for pasting multiple images/links all at once, add, delete, and store multiple server locations, check for overwrite on server, preserve EXIF data (optional), plus so much more.

Don’t want to send your image to the web? You don’t have to, it’s not the law. Edit your image, give it a name and file type, and simply drag and drop the image to the desired destination on your computer to save it there. Or drag and drop it into an email message, a document or presentation. Want to send other types of files to the web – you can do that too. It’s easy-shmeasy, just choose the location, and drop the file over the Send button…done!

And the list just keeps getting better…ImageWell also offers batch image resize, batch watermarking, batch upload, the ability to drag and drop multiple images onto the canvas, plus a Template feature for saving and applying your favorite styles. You also get a slew of draw objects and border shapes, a variety of arrows and line styles, gradient backgrounds, custom canvas sizing, and a “Favorites” box
for storing your favorite objects…plus much, much more…

Wow – I am impressed. Nearly every photo looks better after being processed by Jade.

“For those of you without mad photoshop skills, this is working really well for me”
scottw on jaiku

Automatic photo enhancement software for the Mac. Can handle batches of images and allows for some fine-tuning. The “does one thing well” model could be pretty potent as the main competition (*cough*Photoshop*cough*) gets ever larger and more complex

ZOT Price: $9.99

Typing is a life skill today. When you’re fast and accurate, typing doesn’t have to get in the way of the rest of life.

The French AZERTY and German QWERTZ are all taught in progressive lessons. Improve your typing skills using our drills or any of your own plain text files. Track your mastery progress and then play the ParaTyper game to keep things varied and interesting so you’ll want to go back to the drills and progress well past 40 words per minute.

Master Key is the real Mac citizen using a standard Mac interface. It allows you to type continuously from line to line just like you need to naturally. You also get to see your typing speed in the heads up display without looking away from what you’re typing.

• Nearly 10 years of free updates so far
• Made for schools so it supports Multiple-users very well
• Do timed or fixed-length drills or play the ParaTyper game
• Paginates large text files, ebooks (Project Gutenberg) so you can type a book’s worth.

Pages Templates 5
Prepare for a rush of freshness!

Normally: $39.00

ZOT Price: $19.50

Spice up your documents with 50 brand new templates!

Tired of your old Pages templates? Breathe some smooth summer breeze into your documents with our 50 new template designs, which are ready and waiting for you. Our exclusive new layouts will make your recipients raise their eye-brows and ask “How the hell did they do that?!” The laconic and clean-cut Pages Templates 5.0 extends the fourth version’s tradition by offering a comprehensive collection of documents for business and personal use that focus heavily on design quality. Like its predecessor, Pages Templates 5.0 fuses an up-to-date print style with bold lettering, contrasting colors, and tasteful minimalism. But it’s just a bit lighter and fresher…and half of its contents is completely, absolutely new.

Pages Templates 5.0 includes 100 complete templates: 50 from the previous version and 50 brand-new additions. The kit offers a variety of documents, from brochures and photo albums to posters and invitations. Most of the templates include up to 10 different sections, so the package provides an extensive array of 350 layouts to meet your most exclusive needs. Each layout, from the plain refinement of text-only pages to the bold mix of pictures and slogans among the advertisement and photo album templates, features prime design quality which is set apart by attention to detail, high usability, and abundant creativity.

A Whole New View

Pages Templates 5.0 features important enhancements to Pages Templates 4.0, resulting in a brand-new set of templates that guarantee you even greater convenience. The range of fresh designs becomes immediately evident, but we do not stop there. Most of the 100 templates are available in both paper size A4, the standard prevalent in most countries in the world, and US Letter, the most common paper format in the US and Canada. Besides, users of the previous version will notice improved functionality and a significantly boosted level of intuitiveness, which will make every document appreciably easier to adjust according to individualized needs.

The new Pages Templates 5.0 pack includes an entire line of new innovative templates: Advertisement, CD/DVD, Newspaper, Photo Album, Photographer’s Portfolio, Press Release, and Recipe. Most of these templates provide more layout options, which makes nearly 350 different layouts in total. Such comprehensive flexibility offers countless possibilities to quickly and effortlessly tailor pages to your needs and make a memorable impression on clients and colleagues alike.

What’s in the Package

Pages Templates 5.0 includes 100 different templates, each containing up to 10 sections that are created according to the type of document. Use single-page templates such as Invoice, Memo, and Poster for basic documents, or choose one of the several multi-layout templates for brochures, newsletters, and other publications. The latter vary from a 4-layout Meeting Minutes design to a 10-layout Photo Album. Many of the layouts include placeholders for your photos or pictures – simply drag and drop the selected image.

All of the templates are available in the popular A4 (210 x 297 mm) and U.S. Letter (8½ x 11 in.) sizes, except for non-standard size documents such as Envelope (DL Envelope format – 110 x 220 mm / 4¼ x 8¾ in.) and Newspaper (Tabloid format – 279 × 432 mm / 11 × 17 in.). You can conveniently view the dimensions of a selected template by clicking File > Page Setup and checking Paper Size.

Created for Editing

Although the stock design of Pages Templates 5.0 is highly professional, we do not expect you to settle for the included basics. Every object in the templates can be effortlessly recolored, reshaped, moved, or removed. Type or paste your own text, add and remove text boxes, and change the font if you wish. Drag your photos or pictures onto documents to replace the stock images. You can even copy and paste a whole layout from one document to another by using the thumbnail view, thus inserting an advertisement into your newsletter or adding photo-oriented layouts to your project proposals. Unleash your creativity with the amazing application that is Pages.

Simply choose a theme you like and insert your information. It’s easy to create stunning, professional looking documents with Pages Templates 5.0.

There is no Free download (Trial Version) for today’s ZOT.

System Requirements – Pages Templates 5.0 requires any Macintosh computer running Mac OS X with iWork ’08 or later installed.
