VFZoom Photoshop Plugins for Celartem Technology, Inc

The Vector Format for Zooming (VFZ) is a file format that provides 100% lossless compression and a powerful image scaling/zooming capability that allows one to magnify an image by percentage or size. Images may be read or written in the VFZ format or optionally JPEG, TIFF, or bitmap without any loss in quality. The PFZ format is similar but additionally offers password protection together with user- or file-based privileges. Art & Logic developed the cross-platform VFZ Export and VFZ Import plugins for Mac OS and Windows localized for English and Japanese using the Adobe Dialog Manager (ADM) and based on version 2.4 of Celartem's VFZ SDK.

Media manager for photography shoots

Lightbox Network, Inc. hired Art & Logic to develop a Windows version of its media manager application. Live allows photographers to do "live" shoots with a tethered camera, such that images and movies can be processed and uploaded to the Lightbox server as the shoot is happening. Editors and the like can then see virtually real-time progress of the shoot online and interact by requesting larger versions of the captured media and beginning work on the post process. Images and video can also be manually uploaded, and all uploads are managed via an upload manager.
