Continued Support for Version 2.5 of their Popular Cartooning Software

Digital Anarchy, a leading provider of cost-effective software for
photographers and digital artists, today announced a free update to their
popular ToonIt! Photo plugin for Aperture. ToonIt! 2.5 is now fully
compatible with the 64-bit mode introduced by Apple’s Aperture 3, while
still supporting 32-bit architectures and Aperture 2.
ToonIt! automatically takes photos and gives them a variety of cartoon and
illustrated looks. A believable ‘toon’ effect is easily created, and
Aperture users have a great deal of control in customizing the cartoon with
different paint styles, shading and outlines. The software uses advanced
algorithms from Toonamation, Inc to create its cartoon shading and lines.
One of the key features of ToonIt! is the ability to turn people and faces
into believable cartoons. It’s never been so easy to turn photographs into
illustrated portraits or a graphic novel.

“Photographers responded tremendously to our initial release of ToonIt! for
use in Aperture. A year later, Apple has given us a new 64-bit version of
Aperture and we have a free 64-bit update ready to go,” said Jim Tierney,
president of Digital Anarchy. “Aperture 3 is a great way for photographers
to use ToonIt! to create unique portraits of their clients.”

ToonIt! has been used by photographers and digital artists to give their
clients a wide variety of unique and cool options for their portraits or
designs. Working within Aperture’s 64-bit environment provides an even
faster way of working with RAW files and applying effects like ToonIt!. It’s
an excellent workflow for photographers doing novelty photos, event
photography, and even traditional portraits, where the client wants
something more fun and creative.
