PixEdit from Techsoft is an advanced raster-handling tool for Windows. With PixEdit, you can perform advanced multipage and multilayer monochrome and color raster scanning, editing, converting, vectorizing, viewing and printing documents stored in raster format.

PixEdit fits into almost any color or monochrome scanner installation because of its automatic file format detector. All popular scanners can directly be addressed using PixEdit.

PixEdit features special manual threshold tools for converting scanned gray-shade or color documents into monochrome files. Documents that previously had to be redrawn due to low readability can now be scanned, thresholded and stored in your monochrome storage system.

Currently there are many standard file formats used by scanners and programs in today's marketplace. PixEdit reads PDF as well as the 100 most common raster file formats.

Panning a document is easy and PixEdit provides alternative ways to maneuver around in a document. You can use the keyboard arrow keys, or move the square in the overview window to a new location. The main window updates the area enclosed by using the overview square. Software from Techsoft contains Smooth pan  technology in order to provide maximum viewing comfort.

In addition to the overview window, you can optionally turn on the Blowup window for fine-tuning the cursor in the main window at high zoom factors. Traditional technology only provides a pixel-step size equal to the current zoom factor in the main window. PixEdit however features an automatic step-reduction mechanism for single pixel accuracy even at very high zoom factors in the main window. Optionally, PixEdit may issue a tick sound when the automatic reduction gear switches to pixel accuracy during high zoom factor digitizing.

All windows within PixEdit can be docked, zoomed, moved, or turned on or off, to suit your editing needs. Click here to view a screen dump of PixEdit.

Due to the large amounts of data in a scanned document, PixEdit features both internal and external tile-on-demand storage methods. This ensures a high processing speed, even when using a low bandwidth network. The reason is that image tiles are fetched when they are needed, while a background process fetches the remaining tiles. If a preview image is present, this image is shown as soon as it is read from the file. PixEdit then starts the background process to fetch the tiles. As the user zooms in on details, the background decompression process is temporary suspended while urgently needed tiles are fetched.

The result is high viewing comfort, reduced transient load on the network and, most important of all, short decompression times even when loading large image files over a slow network.

A toolbar for creating and executing macros is available. Recorded macros can be replayed on current page, on page ranges and on document batches using the Batch Wizard    

PixEdit contains a full graphical tree-view of  multi page documents complete with ThumbTip™ Technology and support for Drag&Drop page manipulation. The Document tree can also be used for selecting page ranges for multiple page processing. Page ranges can also be collected into chapters.

Interactive Guide. An Interactive Guide is like a combination of a help system and a toolbox, and helps you with performing and repeating complex imaging tasks.
 

Support for page splitting and sorting is available, and page Guidelines can be inserted to assist page positioning and margin adjustments. Click here for more information about  the powerful functions for multi page processing. Page Joining is useful for making posters from multi page documents. PixEdit can show all pages of a document merged together into a temporary stack image to assist multi page positioning. Some scanner models deliverer black borders around each scanned page. PixEdit removes this unwanted graphics automatically and crops the document.

Most functions found in the main menus can process page ranges specified in their respective dialog box. Page ranges can be specified for processing a combination of ranges including step parameters ( E.g every third page). A concept called Overlays is available. Overlays are like layers, but unlike ordinary raster layers, a single Overlay may be applied to a page range. The unlimited Undo/Redo system in PixEdit is particularly advanced. You may undo/redo a single page only, even if your last operation processed a page range.

PixEdit reads barcodes on scanned documents for automatic filename generation and can send files by e-mail based on the content of the bar code sheets. PixEdit can render EXIF information during printout or into the picture itself.
