Xchange launches three new tools for Photoshop, Quark

XChange International has launched three new products for the prepress and design markets. The new add-ons are the Permanent Press filter for Photoshop and Quark XTensions MadeToPrint XT and BigPicture XT. The Permanent Press filter allows users to create vintage offset printing effects from a design, photograph or type treatment.

MadeToPrint XT for QuarkXPress is an output enhancer that automates naming and labeling during exporting, can support multiple output devices and can preflight links and fonts. BigPicture, in version 4.0 for QuarkXPress 8, is a solution for managing graphics and picture links in Quark, and features a complete redesign, with new customization controls and interactive task panels.

BigPicture XT costs approximately $370, while MadeToPrint is around $350, and Permanent Press is around $75. All three tools are available now and are all Mac compatible, generally requiring Mac OS X 10.4 or above.
