FileMaker Press Release
Comm-Unity Networking Systems Releases CNS Image 1.0, a FileMaker Plug-in
CNS Image can import images into container fields and export
images from container fields. What the plug-in can do with images
while in FileMaker is where it gets interesting.
Imagine importing a folder of digital photos into FileMaker. There
are several tasks you will probably want to apply to your photos.
You may want to rotate a photo from landscape to portrait. You may
want to crop a photo down to capture the subject of the photo
better. You may want to flip or reflect a photo horizontally,
vertically, or both. You may want to apply a sepia color tint to
the photo to give it that antique look. You may want to sharpen the
photo up and adjust the hue or saturation of the photo to make the
colors pop out better. All of these things, and more, can be done
using CNS Image, and you do not even have to leave FileMaker to
accomplish them.
You may want to extract a layer from a Photoshop document. You can
even extract pages (layers) from a PDF document which can be useful
for viewing documents cross-platform in FileMaker.
You can also use CNS Image to download an image from the internet
right into a container field. Such a feature can be used to
download webcam images, dynamic images of the earth, road maps, and
even images to update the look of your solution. Imagine creating a
new backdrop, header, or logo that is automatically downloaded when
your users open a solution you have created.
CNS Image also gives you the ability to apply a QuickTime filter
to an image. QuickTime comes with several built in filters such as
Brightness, ColorSync, HSL Balance, RGB Balance, Blur, Edge
Detection, Emboss, Sharpen, Color Style, Color Tint, and more.
There are also third party filters available on the net.
What once was impossible, is now a reality, with CNS Image and
FileMaker 7.
Brian Dunning, of BrianDunning.com was excited to test out CNS
Image: "Using CNS Image, I was able to transfer an entire web site
of graphics into a FileMaker database in under an hour. This
one plug-in saved days or weeks of painstaking manual labor."
