Shiraz updates Focus package

Shiraz updates Focus package

Shiraz Software will bring out an updated version of its Shiraz Focus package at Photokina later in September. The company will demonstrate the versatility of its Rip software for wide-format photographic and fine art output with OEM partners Fujifilm, Innova and Permajet, as well as on the HP stand.

The latest update to Shiraz Focus provides a raft of image control and production options for photographic and fine art output. A new component has been added and provides pre-print editing, such as adjustments, filters or effects, while the main application now enables users to save and recall jobs, add a variety of frame and crop marks and apply changes across batches. The reliability of Shiraz Focus v3’s colour profiling tool also ensures that any images viewed on a monitor will simulate the printed output. 

Shiraz Focus v3 adds powerful functionality for photographers and fine artists with a new variable data printing facility. A text box can be placed anywhere within the file and filled with user text or metadata from an external source, meaning that images can be numbered in sequence or printed with EXIF data. Frames and borders can also be added and there are several options for canvas wrapping, including the automatic mirroring of edges, and precise fitting.

In addition to Focus v3, Shiraz Software also creates Shiraz Rip Server, currently at version 6.7, for sizeable production environments which operate multiple devices with a demanding workflow, and Shiraz Signature v7.5, aimed at companies with single-device workflows.
