Vertigo Software Corp. Announces Vertigo Advertizer

Simple image compositor performs as a host for plug-ins, creates web banners

Vancouver, B.C. – (March 9, 1999) – Vertigo Software Corp.(CDN:VSWR),
a leading developer of high performance 3D and animation software,
today announced Vertigo Advertizer, a web graphics utility that
quickly and easily creates web banners by behaving as a host to the
industry’s leading Adobe Photoshop compliant plug-ins.

As the web becomes the prominent vehicle for visual communication,
this Quicktime-based utility provides the interactive tools and
action buttons required for creating simple advertising. Easily
import an image, make a rectangular selection and apply a number of
effects from plug-ins such as Vertigo 3D HotText and Vertigo 3D
Dizzy . Manipulate your designs with the provided scaling, color,
wand and lasso tools, then export your final image to the web.

“This opens up a whole new market possibility since traditionally the
plug-in industry has relied on an expensive host application for even
the simplest effects’, says John Davis, President of Vertigo Software
Corp. “There is a large collection of users that want to use these
filters for simple graphics, but they cannot afford the necessary
image editor, or do not have the time for its complex learning curve.
Advertizer provides a low-end solution for those who wish to utilize
Vertigo’s suite of plug-ins or your favorite filters from other
manufacturers.”
