TIFFany II incorporates a unique set of tools for image manipulation in a multi-threaded environment. Select from over 40 actions, linear filters, geometry, morphology, halftoning, turbulence, motion, contrast, brightness, retouching, color correction, masking and much more to create award winning images. Quickly view and manage your image archives with TIFFany II's image database to create thumb nail sized images for quick access. Or, if TIFFany II still does not meet your business needs, extended the functionality of the application by developing your own specialized tools, filters or actions with TIFFany II's Developer API.

A picture is a substitute for a million words. For some businesses, quality professional images gain the competitive advantage. Don't settle for boring or dull images of low quality that may weaken the message you wish to portray. Enhance the images for your company's brochures, signs, manuals and ads with TIFFany II.

• Intuitive user interface.

• Partial undo with pen or airbrush.

• Resize images with six interpolation methods and four anti-aliasing methods.
• Image cropping.
• Set your images dpi and compression type.

• Rectangle and ellipse selection.
• BÝzier path.
• Freehand and magic wand that automatically turns into a BÝzier path for further editing.
• Any bitmap can be used as a mask.
• Text in any font, size and orientation.
• Any selection can affect the surrounded area or just the outline.
• Cut/Copy of any shaped selection.
• Paste into any selection, optionally with automatic scaling.

• Choose from any of the 16 different compositing methods. Use these methods with any filter.
• Set the intensity of any filter.
• Protect the replacement of specific color ranges with the Colorshield
• Affine mapping for rotation, scaling and shear.
• Arbitrary color blends.
• Controlled color replacement using a one-to-one substitution algorithm or by replacing ranges on the color wheel.
• Perform image distortion with a user defined formula.
• Color correction with arbitrary correction curves or gamma correction. Automatic calculation of gamma values
• Noise reduction filters for removing speckles, and a specialized filter for dithered images.
• Histogram operations like equalization and cut-off.
• Hue and Saturation shift.
• Lighting filter for relief / emboss effects.
• Mandelbrot and Julia set generators.

• Various effects like Corona, Sketch, Mosaic, Oil-Painting etc.
• Arbitrary image warping. Just drag some arrows into the image and it gets bent accordingly.

• Configure a filter with your own parameters and give it a new name.
• Lets you define processes, consisting of several filters applied in succession.
• Automatic filter queuing when the previous one hasn't finished yet.
• The window manager allows to apply filter to several images simultaneously.
• Automatic scripting for large batch jobs.

• Organize the filing of your images in several folders.
• Copying of images directly out of the database window.
• Statistical information including: size, image depth, compression type and number of colors.
• View images quickly through an image thumbnail.
• Images sorted by name, size, modification time or path.

• Animation creation with user definable number of frames per second.
• Almost any operation can be applied to an animation instead of an image.
• Cut/Copy/Paste of animations and selected frames.
