DALiM DiALOGUE provides online proofing

DALiM DiALOGUE provides users with an on-line facility to provide remote and collaborative viewing and soft proofing of high-resolution files via the Internet. It offers the ability to stream data to the browser to allow clients to view the file in high resolution to approve single and imposed pages from any location. Users such as printers, publishers, ad agencies and designers, can offer their customers the ability to view, zoom in/out, navigate (via a "Navigator" palette), place annotations (virtual "Post-it" notes), draw to highlight areas, take densitometer readings, check production parameters, (page size, resolution, etc) and 'chat' in realtime. The software runs on Mac OS X and is compatible with Panther. (Pricing was not available.)
