Engraver II, takes advantage of the latest multi-core CPUs to add powerful new features and improved drawing quality. Many of the changes in Engraver II are a direct result of feedback from our users, including the addition of support for Photoshop CS3/CS4 and later for Mac users.

Engraver II is professional tool that allows users to work on high-resolution CMYK and RGB images. It also can be used on 16-bit (per channel) photos.

A great new time saver added in Engraver II is the ability to limit the preview to the selected area. Previously it was necessary to wait for an entire drawing to be rendered, even if only a small part of the drawing was going to have a particular pattern applied it.

Another new feature, "Fill alpha”, simplifies production of multi-layer compositions and reduces confusion that some novice users experienced with previous versions of Engraver when working with alpha channels.

Engraving curves now can be blurred to simulate the way ink spreads on paper in real engravings.

Engraver II is not limited to digital image processing. It can be used in fields such as preparing graphic for burning on wood, serigraphy, or screen-printing. Engraver II can prepare solid color results without the use of halftones.
