Business Wire, Nov 3, 1998

CHICO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 1998--Building on the popularity of the Garden Hose(TM), DigArts Software(TM) today announced the release of the Jungle Bundle(TM) for Paint Shop Pro(TM) 5.

The Jungle Bundle(TM) is an ingenious series of picture tubes that lets artists and hobbyists alike paint life-like flowers, trees and landscapes on-screen, incredibly fast and without the flat look of photography or scanned art. "You don't have to be a great artist to paint nature anymore," said Dennis Berkla, President of DigArts Software(TM). "In only minutes, even the hobbyist can paint a highly complex landscape that once required years of training and weeks of effort."

The Jungle Bundle(TM) is an evolution of the Garden Hose(TM) series, which DigArts first created for Fractal Design's Painter(TM) in 1995. The newest Jungle Bundle combines Garden Hose volumes 1.5 and 2.2 and gives Paint Shop Pro(TM) users access to the same tools currently used by leading professionals in art, architecture, entertainment and advertising. Now, for the first time, these easy-to-use professional level tools are available to amateur hobbyists and artists alike.

The Jungle Bundle(TM) contains over 280 different tubes depicting nearly 50 different plants and natural objects. Most tubes come in a variety of seasonal colors, blooms, or assorted lighting environments. The Jungle Bundle also contains a variety of cloud tubes letting users paint almost any sky in seconds, from high clouds to tropical rainstorms. The "drag and drop" tree trunk and limb layers allow users to composite and paint complex trees and forests both quickly and easily.

The Jungle Bundle is currently available for Paint Shop Pro in two versions. The $39.95 Web version contains over 280 medium size tubes and is great for web graphics. The $69.95 Pro version also contains over 280 different tubes, but in four high-definition sizes. With nearly 1,200 tubes to choose from, the Pro version can render in sizes ranging from small web graphics to large print applications. Both versions contain a variety of patterns and textures in addition to the assorted tree layers.
