Corel PHOTO-PAINT is an application with a long history and one that I have used off and on for as many years. This latest Version 9 is not all that different in outward appearance and the included feature set than the previous Version 8, or even 7 for that matter.

However, using this new Version 9 was a much better experience because of what I can best describe as refinement. Before getting into how Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 performed, let me first describe what the package contains and generally what it is designed to do. The name PHOTO-PAINT is about as broadly descriptive as you can get for such an image-editing product.

It has the tools, processes, and brushes that computer artists need for painting and digital photographers require to acquire images from scanners and digital cameras, color correct, manipulate, and incorporate in a publishable document containing not just photographic images, but graphic design elements and standard text and manipulated type fonts.

In addition to the main paint and image-editing application, Corel also includes Bitstream Font Navigator 3.0 to organize, view, and select fonts stored in your operating system. Canto Cumulus 4.0 is an acclaimed professional digital asset management application; Adobe Acrobat Reader for access to documentation in Acrobat .PDF format on disc; DigiMarc Digital Watermarking to record your copyright within images; Human Software Squizz an image morphing utility; Corel Capture 9 to record and save screenshots; and Corel Script Editor to automate processes.

The features within Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 are more extensive than just about any image editor consumer software product currently available. They include in part:

• Artistic media brushes that may be used directly and as cloning brushes to paint or repaint using all kinds of natural painting effects as well as more imaginative options.

• Layered object effects can be created to manipulate, composite, as well as add graphic elements like type with drop shadows over a photographic image.

• You can either open or save to a wide variety of graphics file types making resources created in a number of different applications available, as well as creating images in PHOTO-PAINT that can be used in other applications, including Adobe Photo-shop, MetaCreations painter, among others.

Ixla digital camera support is built-in providing easy access to the images stored by most of the popular brands and models of cameras.

• Full support is included for HTML output to create content for web publishing.

• Encapsulated PostScript Export includes enhanced color management to assure high quality printing and output to offset press reproduction.

• Images created in PHOTO-PAINT may be output in PDF format for web or offset printing targets.

• A Wizard is included which makes output to a pre-press service bureau easy.

More extensive and controllable access support of color management is included, incorporating the selection of one of a number of standard color workspaces with ICC profiles which may be imbedded in output files.

• And in Corel tradition the package includes a clip art library of 1200 items, 1500 royalty free photos, 750 floating objects, and 300 TrueType fonts.

JOpt.NET is an automated routing software and dispatching component for .NET and can be integrated with C#,C++,VB and J#. JOpt.NET brings route planning and tour optimisation features to your applications with respect to various constraints such as time windows, load capacities and prescribed itinerary.
The component is based on felxible genetic algorithms and automatically determines an optimized schedule of vehicels to an arbitrary set of shipments. You may set up your own constraints and optimization goals in order to customize JOpt.NET to your specific planning needs or you decide to use one of our best practices addons in order to achieve a fast application of our optimization algorithms to selected industries.
JOpt.NET can solve nearly any problem that can be classified by one of the following types:
TSP - Traveling Salesman Problem. JOpt.NET finds the shortest or fastest path for your mobile resources
CVRPTW/VRPTW - Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows - like TSP but for a set of vehicles. JOpt.NET finds an optimal allocation of orders and stops within a vehicle fleet. It may also consider different constraints for vehicles, drivers and stops.
JOpt.NET functionality fits seamlessly into any .NET application. Software developers may integrate the JOpt.NET component into their application in order to offer their customers a consistent solution including optimization of mobile workforce schedules. A seamless integration into your software allows the look and feel of one piece of software for your customer.
Main features:
- route optimization library for solving various route planning problems

Enhancements:
- Support for Google Maps has been introduced.
- It is now possible to export optimization results to Google Maps.

Array Designer project can help design thousands of efficient, highly specific oligos to make microarrays for SNP genotyping and expression studies with the click of a button.
For investigating gene control elements in the post-sequencing era, the software designs tiling arrays for interrogating intragenic and intergenic regions and now the software also designs resequencing arrays for analysis of large genomic sequences and genetic variation within the clinical trial population.
Main features:
- Oligo microarray software: Array Designer designs highly specific oligo microarray for SNP genotyping and expression studies.
- Oligo microarray design software which helps you design probes for expression and SNP studies.
- Array Designer is a highly flexible and scalable microarray software, for designing oligos/primers for large projects.
- Array Designer is a microarray software which offers a high-throughput, greatly automated approach for designing highly specific optimal oligonucleotide probes for microarray experiments.
- cDNA microarray design: Array Designer by default, uses optimized design parameters for cDNA microarray design.
- For DNA microarray design, the carefully chosen default parameters help make the design a success.
- Array Designer, with its highly sophisticated algorithm, may be the best available dna microarray software for microarray design.
- Whole genome array-Whole genome arrays have been useful for studying the poorly understood aspects of trancriptome, natural antisense transcript because they can simultaneously monitor gene expression on both strands of genome
- Tiling array- Tiling array are used to investigate transcription factor binding sites TFBS, not only upstream of genes but also in intronic and intergenic regions.
- Resequencing arrays- In addition to standard probes, Array Designer also designs resequencing arrays useful for analysis of large genomic sequences and genetic variation within the clinical trial population.
- Flexible input formats- Supports sequences in GenBank, FASTA. Loads multiple sequences from a single GenBank or FASTA format file.
- Standard PCR Reaction Conditions- Optimizes PCR primers on all sequences to amplify with uniform reaction conditions.
- Multiple probes- Designs the best probe per sequence or multiple probes per sequence for increased accuracy of detection.
- SNP detection- Designs SNP probes for both hybridization and primer extension detection.
- Flexible Hybridization Probe Locations- Probes can be designed to span each site, or can have 3 end anchored at each site, or can be optimized within a specified region around the site.
