Crater Software Adds Full ChromaColour Palette to CTP -- Full integration of 1800 digital colors makes CTP unique -- | ||
MONTREAL, September 11, 2000 -- CRATER SOFTWARE and industry-ally ChromaColour International, the world-leading developer and provider of digital and traditional cartoon animation materials, software and equipment, today announced that the complete ChromaColour palette will be integrated into Crater’s CTP, the company’s total 2D production system. The addition of the 1800-color palette makes CTP the only 2D total production system in the world to offer the ChromaColour palette, long the standard for both traditional and digital animators. ChromaColour is a one-stop supplier of traditional and digital animation products and has long been considered the leading supplier of animation paint and equipment worldwide by the top animation producers in North America, Europe, and the Far East. ChromaColour over 1800 colors available in 3 distinct series. According to ChromaColour President and CEO John T. Munro: "With the increasing shift of studios from traditional to digital ink and paint processes, the integration of the ChromaColour palette and CTP couldn’t be more timely. The wonderful thing is that companies that purchase CTP can automatically make the transition from the traditional to the digital world, without sacrificing the ChromaColour palette for even a moment. All 1800 colors are now offered in an RGB-value format and balanced to 3200 degrees Kelvin, and are produced in PAL and NTSC. This makes CTP the only system in the world with the ChromaColour palette, and makes it very easy for studios to move into the new way of working." Henceforward, CTP will also be included in the ChromaColour catalogue provided to customers the world over. Crater Software President Joe Alonso is quick to agree: "Crater Software is pleased to be furthering our relationship with ChromaColour International. ChromaColour has always provided the very best products and services to the traditional, and now digital, animation worlds. The integration of the ChromaColour palette makes CTP even more powerful, and enables Crater Software to better serve our current and future customers."
