Application file:

This is Volume 1 of the Aldus Gallery Effects, plug-ins and tools, version 1.0, a set of four 800k floppy disk images. "Disk 1" contains the "Aldus Installer/Utility" which you need to double click to install, optionally up to seven file groups. These are:

Gallery Effects DA will install the Gallery Effects desk accessory, a GE Pouch folder containing the preferences file (GE Prefs), a set of SuperPaint effects in a Classic Art SP folder, and an Image Controls folder that contains the Brightness & Contrast controls as well as the Color Balance controls.

Compatibility:

The Gallery Effects plugins are compatible with Digital Darkroom, Photoshop 1.0 & 2.0 & SuperPaint 3.x. The Photoshop plugins seem to work just fine in Photoshop 3, 4 & 5, also.

The main top (2.57 MB) Download are in Disk Copy 4.2 format. Reconstructed from the "DropBox" link above. I did this, to remove hidden OS X files & folders from the "DropBox" disk image set (which are in ShrinkWrap 3.5 format). Also to create a more backwards compatible with SSW 6, file set, archived using Stuffit 3.6

Digital Darkroom was an innovative Apple Macintosh graphics program for editing gray-scale photos. It was published by Silicon Beach Software in 1987.
Digital Darkroom was the first Macintosh program to incorporate a plug-in architecture. Silicon Beach and Ed Bomke are credited with having coined the term "plug-in".
Another innovation of Digital Darkroom was the Magic Wand tool, which also appeared later in Photoshop.

grawlix.computing — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 16:42:24 +0000

The sequel to Silicon Beach's legendary Dark Castle. Released shortly after the original, it turned out to be more of the same, but that's no criticism.

Fans of the series would have to wait another 20 years for a third installment, Return to Dark Castle. Available on the Apple App Store for $8.99 (as of 8/21/2013).

SuperPaint, with it's fusion of paint and draw layers, became an popular tool for the working graphic artist in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Silicon Beach was quick to release version 2.0 in 1988, but SuperPaint would have to wait 4 years before it got its colors. SuperPaint 3.0 was released in 1992, under the Aldus banner.

Apache Strike

Maedi — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 09:46:43 +0000

"Apache Strike is a 3D helicopter game first developed for the Apple Macintosh in 1987. Its objective is flying an Apache helicopter through a rudimentary hidden line-rendered cityscape in order to destroy the enemy's strategic defense computer. Enemy helicopters and tanks are encountered and must be shot down along the way. The Apache's position is shown in an onscreen map as well as bearing and distance to the defense computer. Some game events are presented in digitized speech by the Lifelike In-board Narrative Damage Assessment computer, or LINDA.
