Servers--Beyond the Bitmap

In addition, with LizardTech's patented Pixels-on-Demand feature, MrSID Portable Image Format files are resolution independent and can be viewed or printed at practically any size or resolution, making them easy to repurpose for a variety of media.

MrSID technology is delivered through a suite of software tools for Adobe Photoshop 5.5, QuarkXPress 4.0, Adobe InDesign 1.0 and Adobe Acrobat 4.0, with plug-ins for other popular applications scheduled for release later in the year and during 2000. When a MrSID image is printed, the resolution required for the target output device is created on-the-fly. And just like Adobe Acrobat, users have free access to MrSID viewing and printing technology for the supported layout, design and Web browser applications.
