LEMKESOFT

1992 年，拥有硕士学位的电气工程师 Thorsten Lemke 决定从 Atari 转到 Apple Macintosh，并希望将他的整个图片集转换为当时的标准 Mac 格式之一。不幸的是，没有任何程序可以做到这一点。这就是他决定自己创建一个程序来完成这项工作的动机。

当 Thorsten Lemke 最终以共享软件的形式向其他用户提供 GraphicConverter 时，令人印象深刻的成功记录就开始了。如今，GraphicConverter X / Classic 在全球拥有超过 150 万用户，是共享软件市场上使用最多、最受欢迎的程序之一。该程序给用户和专家甚至 Apple 留下了深刻的印象。许多人在发现 Apple 在他们的新电脑上安装了 GraphicConverter 后，就开始了解并依赖它！

这种成功自然取决于该程序的质量，并且在很大程度上取决于世界各地忠实的 GraphicConverter 用户的承诺。他们的建议和想法积极支持了程序的开发，并帮助 Lemkesoft 将这个转换工具开发成如今的专业图像编辑程序。与用户的密切合作是 Thorsten Lemke 和他的同事团队必须提供合格且及时的支持的重要原因。例如：Thorsten 每天都会亲自回复来自全球用户的 200 到 300 封电子邮件。此外，程序还会定期更新，几乎每月都会为 GraphicConverter X / Classic 添加新功能或扩展功能。

随着时间的推移，Lemkesoft 产品组合中又添加了三款产品：CADintosh、FontBook 和 SnapsCleaner。此外，Lemkesoft 还继续为特殊客户需求开发个性化解决方案。我们有许多非常满意的客户在他们的项目中实施我们的软件，Web Hosting Search（领先的网络主机评论指南）只是众多示例之一。

然而，该公司的主要重点和热情显然集中在 GraphicConverter 的维护和进一步开发上 – 对于许多用户来说，该产品就像 Apple 操作系统本身一样，是 Mac 的自然组成部分。

In 1992 Thorsten Lemke, an Electrical Engineer with a Master’s Degree, decided to move from Atari to the Apple Macintosh and wanted to convert his entire picture collection into one of the then standard Mac formats. Unfortunately there weren’t any programs available that could do this. This was the motivation behind the decision to create a program to accomplish this job himself.

When Thorsten Lemke finally offered GraphicConverter to other users, on a shareware basis, an impressive track record of successes had begun. Today GraphicConverter X / Classic have more than 1.5 million users worldwide and is one of the most used and loved programs on the shareware market. This program impresses users and specialists alike and even Apple. Many people have come to know and depend upon GraphicConverter after finding it installed on their new computers by Apple!

This level of success is naturally based upon the quality of this program and to a very large extent on the commitment of loyal GraphicConverter users everywhere. Their suggestions and ideas have actively supported the development of the program and helped Lemkesoft develop this conversion tool into the professional image editing program it is today. This close corroboration with our users is an important reason why qualified and timely support is a must for Thorsten Lemke and his team of co-workers. For example: every single day Thorsten personally answers between 200 to 300 e-mails from users worldwide. Additionally there are regular program updates which add new or extended features to GraphicConverter X / Classic on a nearly monthly basis.

Over time three additional products were added to the Lemkesoft portfolio: CADintosh, FontBook and SnapsCleaner. In addition, Lemkesoft continues to develop individual solutions for special customer requirements. We have many highly satisfied customers who implement our software in their projects, Web Hosting Search (a leading webhost review guide) is just one of many examples out there.

However, the main focus and passion of this company is clearly centered on the maintenance and further development of GraphicConverter – a product which for many users is as natural a part of their Mac as Apple’s operating system itself.
