About Purchase and License

Where can we buy an OPTPiX iMageStudio series product?
Is it only for sale on the internet?
If it is not, could you introduce us a distributor or a shop?
 
We are considering buying three copies of iMageStudio. In this case, shall we buy three packages or is it possible to purchase one package and pay license fee for the rest?
 
Do you put any limitation on using images that we produce with iMageStudio's color reduction function?
 
Would you tell me how do you manage OPTPIX iMageStudio license?
 
I want to know whether you reissue a lost hardware key or not.
If it is possible, how much should it cost?
 
I use Windows XP SP2 and executed Windows Update.
And now iMageStudio does not recognize the USB hardware key.
 
I use Windows XP installed in AMD Athlon64 machine.
And now iMageStudio does not recognize the Parallel Port hardware key.
 
Do you think that two hardware keys work well with one parallel port of a PC?

About Plugins

I'd like to have a copy of OPTPiX Plugin SDK.
Should I buy the product in order to get it?
 
I am creating an MIPMAP output Plugin. I read the specification of the OPTPiX Plugin Version 2.0 SDK and I suppose it is not possible to output MIPMAP layers but I am not sure. Can an output Plugin support multiple layers?
 
I am using OPTPiX Plugin SDK to create an iMageStudio Plugin.
The trouble is when I save a file. In the StratOperation() function, I cast OPT_PLUGIN_INFO structure into OPT_FILEWRITE_INFO and get BITMAPINFOHEADER information but its "biBitCount" member has value of 8 for a 4-bit color image !
 
I am creating a iMageStudio Plugin using OPTPiX Plugin SDK.
My problem is that when it reads a multi-layer image (a MIPMAP) from file, bad colors appear on the upper two dots of the 2x2 pixel sized image.
 
When I use "Color Reduction with OPTPiX iMageStudio" filter plug-in from Photoshop's Filter menu, where the color-reduced data goes?
I tried to do the color reduction from Photoshop and save the result to a file, but when I load the file in OPTPiX iMageStudio, the colors do not seem to be reduced.

About Functions

Please tell me how to apply color reduction feature of OPTPiX iMageStudio to convert full-color or indexed color files into two-color monochrome images.
 
Can I use my own palette for OPTPiX iMageStudio color reduction?
 
Is there size restriction about loadable PSD file size?
 
To use iMageStudio's macro function, I want to start a macro by using command line interface, or CLI, to launch the iMageStudio program itself, rather than using ordinary GUI (graphical user interface).
Is that possible?
 
We are using our own 210-color palette and we want to keep color numbers of this palette after applying color reduction by this palette to 64 colors. Is that possible?
 
What kind of development targets are supported by Remote Display?
 
My question is about S3TC encoding flags (such as S3TC_ENCODE_ALPHA_INTERPOLATED and S3TC_ENCODE_RGB_ALPHA_COMPARE).
Can I set these flags on the user side?
 
How can I check texture memory size before and after S3TC encoding?
 
I am curious about Border Protector. What is it?
 
When I convert PNG files into TPL format by using "Convert Image Format" macro, Indexed Color images of 256 colors are converted to Direct Color (in the resulting TPL), which is not expected.
What should I do?
 
I have 16-color and 256-color PNG files in a folder.
When I specify this folder as the input folder and execute format conversion macro, all the image files are converted into 256-color!
How can I keep 16-color files?
