Thanks for Meeting Us At TAWPI - See You At AIIM

Atalasoft sent two lucky guys, John and Eric, down to balmy Miami to warm their snow-chilled bones. Even though it was a small conference, our team met some amazing people while demo-ing Atalasoft's "From Capture to Archive" capabilities. We look forward too seeing a lot more people, much closer to home, at AIIM in Boston in March 2008. If you'd like to follow up with us post-TAWPI, or would like to set up a pre-AIIM meeting, please use the form via the link below.

Atalasoft to Retire ImgX and ImgXASP Next Year

Atalasoft has been selling and supporting ImgX and ImgXASP since 2002 but stopped new sales at the beginning of December. Support of these Active-X products will end in December of 2008 to focus exclusively on the .NET imaging platform DotImage.

In the short term, you will continue to receive the same excellent support contacts at Atalasoft but you should be planning your imaging toolkit needs beyond December of 2008. Atalasoft would like to provide you with the easiest path to .NET with as much information as possible about migrating or developing your imaging solutions using DotImage, the premiere .NET imaging toolkit. Please contact sales@atalasoft.com if you have any questions about the ImgX/ImgXASP retirement as well as upgrade options.

Go to the link below to get more complete information about the retirement of ImgX and ImgXASP as well as upgrade incentives to purchase DotImage.

Several demos are available in our SDK download but we're always working on new ones. The link below is to a forum post that Atalasoft's President, Bill Bither, posted in response to questions about programming an OCR selection. Bill quickly created a Zonal OCR project and attached it as a zipped file to the post.

New CodeProject Article! Optimize Satellite Images with DotImage

Please check out Atalasoft's new article at CodeProject. This article explains how to sharpen a Quickbird satellite image with Pan Sharpening using the DotImage toolkit. This method takes a high resolution grayscale image and a low resolution color image to create a single high-resolution color image. Included in the article is source code and test images. It's a great illustration of how flexible the DotImage toolkit is and its wide application, from document imaging to satellite imagery, Atalasoft is your resource.

Thanks for Meeting Atalasoft at DevConnections2007

DevConnections in Las Vegas was another wonderful opportunity to meet many of you. We got to show off our powerful imaging toolkits and have some great conversations. We also gave away several hundred of our cool Mustang GT (".NET Imaging with Muscle") t-shirts and die cast cars. We would like to congratulate Andrew, Ryan, and Mark who all won 30gb Zunes by wearing our t-shirts on the show floor. We look forward to the opportunity of seeing you at several shows next year, starting off with AIIM in Boston in March, and TechEd2008 in Orlando in June. As always, if you find yourself heading to the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, please drop us a note to schedule a meeting.
