Brookfield, CT (July 4, 1995) Inset, publishers of the HiJaak family of
graphics software is proud to announce HiJaak 95. HiJaak 95 revolutionizes
the way users work with graphics by integrating its graphics technology
into the Windows 95 shell. View, organize, convert, trace and print
graphics naturally and easily, without ever having to run a separate
application.

HiJaak 95 still gives users premier capture, convert, trace and importing
capabilities, but now it also gives users a choice of how they want to
work: from the HiJaak application window or from the Windows 95 operating
system. By extending Windows 95 with thumbnails of over 75 graphics
formats and by adding searching, viewing, printing, thumbnail updating and
converting to the shortcut menu, HiJaak 95 helps users become more
productive with graphics.

HiJaak 95 creates thumbnails of virtually any image using background
processing, so the computer can be used for other productive work. These
color thumbnails replace the generic operating system icons and are
visible from the Explorer, Network Neighborhood, My Computer or the Open
dialog box. Users can then browse through thumbnails of images in Windows
95 making it easier to locate the image they need. Once they find that
image, they can view, convert or print it with a single right mouse
click.

During thumbnail creation, HiJaak's exclusive AutoCAT technology creates
keywords from text in vector images. Users can also manually add keywords
to any image: raster, vector, or metafile. Thumbnails created and
cataloged with HiJaak 95 appear in Explorer, My Computer, Network
Neighborhood, and the common Open dialog box, enabling fast visual
searches for images, and eliminating guesswork. Without HiJaak 95, users
will only see generic icons.

HiJaak 95 extends Windows 95 to include a graphics image database. Users
can search for images visually, by filename, location, keyword, attribute,
file size, or date; and quickly view images by double-clicking on them.
Catalogs of thumbnails can be printed directly from Explorer, with a
variety of printing options.

"By seamlessly integrating the HiJaak graphics expertise deep into the
heart of Windows 95, we've provided the user with a HiJaak-enabled version
of Windows 95, instead of the user having to run a separate utility," said
Maurice Hamoy, Vice President of Communications for Inset.

HiJaak 95 is designed to take full advantage of the new features in Windows
95, including OLE 2.0, the new 32-bit architecture and multi-tasking.
Using OLE 2.0 in-place activation, users can modify HiJaak images directly
from within their applications. And, by taking advantage of Windows 95
32-bit architecture and multi-tasking, HiJaak 95 can make full use of all
available memory, allowing it to run quickly and smoothly. HiJaak 95 also
includes speed improvements, especially in creating thumbnails, handling
gradient fills, and viewing large raster images.

Graphics incompatibility is virtually nonexistent with HiJaak 95's
Smuggler. It adds the ability to import graphics in HiJaak's extensive
list of supported formats, including Windows Enhanced Metafile Format,
into virtually any Windows 95 application. "Working with graphics has
never been easier. Smuggler is the no sweat way to find, view, and use
virtually any image anywhere in Windows 95," said Beverly Bernard,
Director of Product Planning.

HiJaak 95 supports a printer driver, HiJaak Print Capture, that can capture
printer output to a file in any HiJaak-supported graphics format. Anything
that can be printed from Windows 95 can be saved in one of HiJaak's
supported output formats, including raster, vector and metafile formats.
Users can select HiJaak Print Capture from any application's print dialog
box, then specify a path, file name and format for the print file. The
user controls many processing options including image resolution, color
depth and brightness and contrast.

HiJaak 95 is expected to ship in August 1995. The estimated street price is
$99.00; the upgrade price for registered users is $49.99 plus shipping and
handling. And for a limited time, HiJaak 95 will be available for nearly
half price when purchased in conjunction with Windows 95 at participating
dealers. As always, Inset offers expert technical support for all of its
products and a Money Back Guarantee on products purchased directly from
Inset. Concurrent use licenses are also available. Inset products are sold
worldwide through distributors, retailers and resellers.
