LinkOptimizer for InDesign Improves Access to Variable Name Tokens - Published on 08/16/18

Zevrix Solutions announces LinkOptimizer 5.2.8, a feature update to company's workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer can automatically resize InDesign links to their final dimensions at specific target resolution, convert image formats, adjust colors, reduce linked image size and more. The new version introduces new user interface for the variable name tokens feature. Users utilize the tokens to interactively compose variable names of optimized images and backup folders.

Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announces LinkOptimizer 5.2.8, a feature update to its image processing automation plug-in for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks and helps users reduce the size of InDesign links, save prepress costs, and easily repurpose InDesign documents for web and mobile devices.

The new version introduces new user interface for the variable name tokens feature. Users utilize the tokens to interactively compose variable names of optimized images, backup folders and InDesign files. The tokens are now located in the popover windows attached to variable name fields rather than in popup menus. This new UI makes it much easier for the users to access the tokens and insert them directly into the desired location of the target variable name field. LinkOptimizer offers variable tokens for day, time, image color, page number and more.

"LinkOptimizer is the one product no creative studio can live without," says Wayne Guy from Edge Graphics studio in Lake Balboa, California. "It saves hours of time, tediously replacing linked images, resizing, batch processing... If you're a designer or production artist, you need this."

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

* Optimize multiple InDesign files
* Scale and crop images to their InDesign dimensions
* Change image resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to CMYK profile
* Resave PNGs as TIFF
* Run a Photoshop action on each image

As a result users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer can be purchased from Zevrix website for $259.95 USD (Lite version: $179.95) as well as from Adobe Exchange and authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for LinkOptimizer 5.x users and $130 to upgrade from previous versions. LinkOptimizer requires macOS 10.7-10.13 and Adobe InDesign / Photoshop CS5-CC 2018.

WaterField unveils the Tech Pocket - A Minimalist Tech Accessory Pouch

WaterField unveils the Tech Pocket - A Minimalist Tech Accessory Pouch - Published on 08/16/18

San Francisco manufacturer, WaterField Designs unveils the Tech Pocket, a plushly-padded, high-end pouch designed to address a minimalist's need to safely store small electronic gear. Featured as part of the company's Gear Case Month, the Tech Pocket is the second of three designs born out of WaterField's pioneering crowdsourced design process. The Tech Pocket is perfect for essential small tech items and everyday necessities like a wallet, keys, or glasses.

San Francisco, California - WaterField Designs, an innovative leader in custom laptop sleeves, bags, and Apple-specific cases, introduces the Tech Pocket, a plush minimalist pouch that functions as an extra pocket for stowing the frequently-used, small tech gear ubiquitous in today's digital society. The new tech accessory pouch can conveniently attach to the inside or outside of a bag and fits into the palm of a hand. Developed as part of WaterField's fifth crowdsourced, community-design project, the new case fills the need of an overwhelming number of participants who carry small electronics at all times and requested a minimalist pouch.

"The Tech Pocket is perfect for my essential small tech items and everyday necessities like my wallet, keys, and glasses," said company owner Gary Waterfield. "It's the larger pocket my pants don't have, and it goes everywhere with me. It's easy to carry in my hand, fits quickly into my bag, and is my constant companion on my desk at work."

The Tech Pocket helps users keep their daily essential tech items easily accessible and organized. Available in rugged tan waxed canvas or black ballistic nylon, the minimalist Tech Pocket holds and protects gear that otherwise might get scratched or dinged if loose in a pant or bag pocket. Lined with super-soft, almost cashmere-like padding, the pouch conveniently closes with a silent, snap-shut magnet. Inside, the main compartment and two internal pockets organize dongles, an Apple Pencil, an extra Mouse, adapters, a key fob, an iPhone or whatever other personal necessities need to be stored and organized. A front pocket for additional accessories closes with a self-locking YKK zipper. Loops at either end of the case can attach to a strap. A metal carabiner is included so users can easily hook the pouch to a backpack or briefcase.

WaterField designed this new gear organizer using its unique customer-collaboration process that results in highly-functional products specifically tailored to address customer needs. After analyzing survey data gathered from hundreds of customers, the company identified the need for three unique cases, including a minimalist pouch like the Tech Pocket. It then began to design prototypes, while continuing to gather feedback and to provide project participants with design updates. WaterField will announce a third new gear case next week as part of its August Gear Case Month.

* Dimensions: 7.5 x 4.75 inches
* Weight: 4.3 oz.

Pricing and Availability:
The Tech Pocket is priced at only $49 (USD). Colors and materials: Tan waxed canvas or black ballistic nylon. Shipping now.
