InEffects 1.0

April 23, 2004 · Comments

ALAP has just released “InEffects 1.0.”:http://www.alap.com/products/ineffects.html Looks interesting, and my ears always perk up at the idea of a plug-in for InDesign but $99? Whoa. That seems way too expensive. On the other hand, I gladly paid $149 for Woodwing’s “SmartStyles.”:http://www.woodwing.com/smartstyles.htm Set up a complicated formatted text box (including tables!), save it in a SmartStyle library and in a click you can apply the styles anywhere. It’s far more intuitive than the built-in library and styles and it paid for itself in no time on a single job. But InEffects’s application seems limited. I could see using it here and there on a headline, but that’s about it. For $49, maybe. But at $99 I’ll pass.
