                                  Risk Factors

         This  offering  involves a high  degree of risk.  You should  carefully
consider the risks described below,  together with all of the other  information
in this prospectus, before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.


                Risks associated with our past financial results


We could be required to cut back or stop operations if we are unable to raise or
obtain needed funding

         Our ability to continue  operations  will depend on our  positive  cash
flow,  if any,  from future  operations  and on our ability to raise  additional
funds  through  equity or debt  financing.  We do not know if we will be able to
raise additional funding or if additional funding will be available on favorable
terms.  We could be required to cut back or stop  operations if we are unable to
raise or obtain needed funding.

         Our cash  requirements  to run our business have been and will continue
to be  significant.  Since 1996, our negative cash flow from operations has been
as follows:


          Fiscal year ended:                     Negative Cash Flow
          ----------------------------------------------------------
          o  June 30, 1996                            $1,263,000
          o  June 30, 1997                            $4,063,000
          o  June 30, 1998                            $7,100,000
          ----------------------------------------------------------
          Six Months ended:                      Negative Cash Flow
          ----------------------------------------------------------
          o  December 31, 1998                        $2,820,000
          ----------------------------------------------------------


We have a history of losses and if we do not achieve profitability we may not be
able to continue our business in the future

         As  of  December  31,  1998  we  accumulated  losses  of  approximately
$38,557,000. We anticipate incurring additional losses until we can successfully
market and distribute our products and develop new technologies and commercially
viable  future  products.  If we are unable to do so, we will  continue  to have
losses and might not be able to continue our operations.


The "going concern" qualification on the report of our independent accountants
may hurt our ability to raise additional financing

         The  report  of our  independent  accountants  on  our  June  30,  1998
consolidated  financial  statements contains an explanatory  paragraph regarding
our ability to  continue as an ongoing  business.  Our  independent  accountants
cited a  significant  decline in working  capital  and net  worth,  that  raised
substantial  doubt as to our  ability to continue  as an ongoing  business.  The
"going  concern"  qualification  may  reduce  our  ability  to obtain  necessary
financing in the future to run our business.

                       Risks associated with our business


Our digital imaging products may not be successfully completed or accepted by
the public which could result in lower revenues

         Our success will depend on our ability to market our current  products,
including  our digital  printers and our hardware and software  products used in
digital imaging,  and to rapidly  introduce and market additional  products.  We
have no control  over the demand for digital  imaging  products,  including  the
preferences of users and the capability of personal computers to run our digital
imaging  software and hardware  products and use our printers.  We cannot assure
you that the  products  we  introduce  will  achieve  acceptance,  or that other
digital  imaging  products  companies will not develop and market products which
render our products obsolete or less competitive.  Failure to obtain significant
customer  satisfaction or market share for our products would  significantly and
negatively affect our revenues.


We may have to lower prices or spend more money to effectively compete against
our competitors

         A   key   element   of   our   business    strategy   is   to   provide
competitively-priced,  quality products, however, if our competitors offer lower
prices, we could be forced to lower prices which would result in reduced margins
and a decrease in  revenues.  If we do not lower  prices we could lose sales and
market share. In either case, if we are unable to compete against  companies who
can afford to cut prices, we would not be able to generate  sufficient  revenues
to grow the company or reverse our history of losses.


Many of our current and prospective competitors have significantly greater
financial, technical, sales and marketing resources than we do

         The success of our products in the marketplace depends on many factors,
including  product  performance,   price,  ease  of  use,  support  of  industry
standards,  and customer support and service.  We cannot assure you that we will
be able to compete successfully given these factors. Our competitors may develop
products comparable or superior to ours and may adapt more quickly than we do to
new technologies, evolving industry trends and customer requirements. Therefore,
we may have to spend  more  money  to  effectively  compete  for  market  share,
including  funds to  expand  our  infrastructure,  which is a  capital  and time
extensive process. In addition, if other companies  aggressively compete against
us, we may have to spend  more money on  advertising,  promotion,  trade  shows,
product  development,  marketing  and overhead  expenses,  hiring and  retaining
personnel, and developing new technologies. These higher expenses would hurt our
net income and profits.

System failures of our customers or suppliers may arise because of the year 2000
problem and would disrupt our business

         The concerns  about the upcoming  year 2000 have arisen  because  older
computer programs that used two digits rather than four to define the applicable
year could  malfunction.  Although we believe  that our  products  and  internal
computer systems will not be affected by the year 2000 problem,  system failures
of our  customers or suppliers  due to the year 2000 problem  could  disrupt our
business. For example, software drivers used to modify and direct the output and
performance of our digital  printers,  although not using  time-specific  codes,
mirror  time-specific codes resident in the applicable operating systems running
our systems,  and,  accordingly,  if these  operating  systems are not year 2000
compliant, our products may not work and our business would be disrupted.

Because of our significant research and development costs, the failure to
develop new products would result in substantial losses

         The development of sophisticated  digital imaging products is a lengthy
and intensive process and is subject to unforeseen risks,  delays,  problems and
costs. Unanticipated technical or other problems may occur which would result in
delays in our  development  program.  If we fail to complete  development of new
products or enhance  existing  products,  we could suffer  complete  loss of the
funds  committed by us to those  products or  enhancements.  The losses could be
substantial.


We depend on our relationship with Adobe and termination of this relationship
would result in reduced revenues

         Our relationship with Adobe as an authorized  co-development partner in
implementing  Adobe's  PostScript(R)  language on our printer controllers and in
our  software  products is an integral  part of our business  strategy.  If this
relationship  is not successful or Adobe decides to terminate this  relationship
we would lose many of our customers which would result in a substantial  loss of
revenues.


Since we depend on one manufacturer, we may not be able to assemble our products
if the manufacturer is unable to manufacture our products

         We  presently  outsource  the  production  of most of our  manufactured
products  through  one  vendor  located in  California.  This  vendor  assembles
products,  using  components  purchased by us from other sources or from its own
inventory. If our present manufacturer does not have sufficient capacity to meet
projected  market  demand  for  our  products,  our  production  will  stop  and
replacement of the manufacturer  could take several months and cause substantial
disruption to our operations.


We depend heavily on third-party suppliers to provide us with compatible
hardware and software for our digital imaging products

         Many  of  our  products  use  technology   licensed  from   third-party
suppliers.   We  rely   heavily  on  Adobe  for  upgrades  and  support  of  the
PostScript(R)  language.  In the case of our font products, we license the fonts
from outside suppliers,  including Adobe, who also own the intellectual property
rights to the fonts. Our reliance on third-party  suppliers involves many risks,
including   our  limited   control   over   potential   hardware   and  software
incompatibilities with our products.

We may not be able to successfully integrate our new acquisitions into our
business

         During 1998 fiscal year, we made a number of acquisitions to complement
our technical position in the imaging market, including CSI, a producer of color
management  software and AMT, our master  stocking  distributor  of printers and
supplies in the European  Community  and on the European  continent.  Our future
performance  will  depend in part on our  ability  to  integrate  and grow these
acquired  businesses.  If we do  not  integrate  these  businesses  efficiently,
including the management structures of these diverse companies, there could be a
negative adverse effect.

         Furthermore,  over time we may realize that we need to divest  unwanted
assets or products and assume unknown  liabilities  associated with these recent
acquisitions.  In addition,  client satisfaction or performance problems with an
acquired  business could also have a material  adverse effect on our reputation,
and any  acquired  business  could  significantly  underperform  relative to our
expectations. We are currently facing all of these challenges and our ability to
meet them over the long term has not been established. As a result, we cannot be
certain that we will be able to  successfully  or in a timely  manner  integrate
these acquired businesses and their products and technologies into our business,
which could have a material adverse effect on our overall financial performance.


We rely on indirect, independent distribution channels to sell our products and
disruption of these distribution channels would result in reduced sales and
revenues

         Our products are  marketed and sold through  established  relationships
with value-added resellers,  manufacturers'  representative,  retail vendors and
systems integrators. We have a network of dealers and distributors in the United
States and Canada, in the European Community and on the European  continent,  as
well as a growing number of resellers in Africa,  Asia,  the Middle East,  Latin
America and Australia,  which we support through our centralized  manufacturing,
distribution  and repair  operations  in San Diego and London.  The sales of our
products are  principally  made through  distributors  which may carry competing
product  lines.  These  distributors  could reduce or  discontinue  sales of our
products,  and they may not devote the resources  necessary to provide effective
sales  and  marketing  support  of our  products,  which  could  materially  and
adversely affect our sales.

         In  addition,  we  are  dependent  upon  the  continued  viability  and
financial stability of these distributors, many of which are small organizations
with  limited  capital  who are  substantially  dependent  on  general  economic
conditions and factors affecting  particularly the digital imaging markets.  Our
business could be materially  adversely affected if our distributors fail to pay
amounts to us that exceed reserves that we have established.


We currently hold no patents in our production processes and could be prohibited
from marketing some of our products

         We  currently  hold  no  patents  relating  to  the  production  of our
products. However, from time to time, some of our competitors have asserted that
we infringe on their patent  rights.  We expect that this will  continue.  If we
fail to establish  that we have not violated  the asserted  rights,  we could be
prohibited from marketing the products that incorporate any patented  technology
and we could be liable for  damages.  We also could incur  substantial  costs in
redesigning our products or defending any legal action taken against us.

The financial crisis in Asia resulted in the cancellation of orders and
substantial losses, and our other international operations and export sales may
be effected by future trends and foreign restrictions

         We conduct business globally and intend to pursue international markets
as key avenues for growth hoping to increase the  percentage of sales  generated
in  international   markets.  In  fiscal  year  1998,  we  experienced  contract
cancellations and write-offs of significant receivables related to the continued
economic  deterioration  in Asia.  As we  continue  to expand our  international
operations,  our  business  and  overall  financial  performance  may be further
negatively  affected  by a  variety  of  uncontrollable  and  changing  factors,
including:

                  o         foreign currency exchange fluctuations;

                  o         regulatory, political or economic conditions in
                            specific countries and regions;

                  o         difficulties in staffing and managing international
                            operations; and

                  o         difficulties in collecting accounts receivable.


                      Risks associated with our securities


The  conversion  of  outstanding  Series  D and E  preferred  stock  may  have a
significant  negative  effect  on the  price of the  common  stock and cause the
selling  stockholders  to  receive a greater  number of shares  upon  subsequent
conversions of the preferred stock

         As of January and February 1999, we completed two transactions  selling
Series D and E preferred stock to some of the selling stockholders listed in the
selling  stockholders'  table  on  page  16 of  this  prospectus.  See  "Selling
Stockholders"  and "Description of Securities" for additional  information.  The
Series D  preferred  stock and Series E  preferred  stock are  convertible  at a
floating  rate that will be below the  market  price of the common  stock.  As a
result,  the lower the stock  price at the time the  holder  converts,  the more
common  stock the holder  will get upon  conversion.  To the extent the  selling
shareholders  convert and then sell their common  stock,  the common stock price
may decrease due to the  additional  shares in the market.  This could allow the
selling  stockholders to convert their convertible  preferred stock into greater
amounts of common  stock,  the sales of which  could  further  depress the stock
price.  The  conversion  of the  Series D and E  preferred  stock may  result in
substantial  dilution to the  interests  of other  holders of common stock since
each holder of Series D and E preferred  stock may  ultimately  convert and sell
the full amount of common stock issuable upon conversion of its preferred stock.

         The following  table describes the amount of shares of our common stock
into  which  the  Series D and E  preferred  stock  is  convertible  at  various
percentages  of the market price as of June 15, 1999 and the  percentages of our
total  outstanding  common stock  represented  by  conversion  of Series D and E
preferred  stock  following the conversion  and exercise of the warrants  issued
pursuant to the private sale of the Series D and E preferred stock:

         However,  each selling  stockholder owning Series D preferred stock may
not  convert  its  Series  D  preferred  stock  if,  as a  result,  the  selling
stockholder would own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding common stock. This
restriction,  however,  does not prevent a selling  stockholder  from converting
some of its Series D  preferred  stock,  up to 9.99% of the  outstanding  common
stock,  and  then  selling  all or a  portion  if its  common  stock,  and  then
converting more of its Series D preferred  stock, up to 9.99% of the outstanding
common stock, at a later date. In this way, a selling  stockholder owning Series
D preferred  stock could sell more than 9.99% of the  outstanding  common  stock
while never holding more than 9.99% at any one time.


We have a substantial number of shares reserved for future issuances which could
cause dilution of stockholder interests

         The issuance of reserved  shares  would  dilute the equity  interest of
existing  stockholders and could have a significant adverse effect on the market
price of our common  stock.  As of April 20, 1999, we had  55,009,986  shares of
common stock reserved for possible future  issuances  upon,  among other things,
conversion of preferred stock and exercise of outstanding  options and warrants.
See "Dilution."

         In addition, we may seek additional financing which could result in the
issuance of  additional  shares of our capital  stock  and/or  rights to acquire
additional  shares of our capital stock.  Those additional  issuances of capital
would  result  in a  reduction  of  your  percentage  interest  in our  company.
Furthermore,  if the exercise price of the options or warrants or the conversion
ratio of the preferred stock was lower than the dollar value per share of common
stock at the time of the exercise or  conversion,  the dollar value per share of
common  stock  would  decrease  because  the  number of  shares of common  stock
outstanding would increase without a corresponding increase in the dollar amount
assigned to shareholders' equity.

         The  addition  of a  substantial  number of  shares  of  common  stock,
including  the  shares  offered  by this  prospectus,  into the market or by the
registration  of any  other  of our  securities  under  the  Securities  Act may
significantly  and negatively  affect the prevailing market price for the common
stock.  In addition,  future sales of shares of common stock  issuable  upon the
exercise of outstanding warrants and options may have a depressive effect on the
market price of the common  stock,  as these  warrants and options would be more
likely to be exercised at a time when the price of the common stock is in excess
of the applicable exercise price.

Short selling of our common stock could result from significant downward
pressure on the price of our common stock

         Significant  downward  pressure on the price of the common  stock could
occur  as the  selling  stockholders  convert  their  shares  of  Series D and E
preferred stock into common stock and sell material  amounts of common stock. In
response,  a  selling  stockholder  and  others  may  engage  in short  sales by
borrowing  common stock at the current market price in hope of buying the common
stock in the future at a lower price. Short selling may depress the price of the
common stock.


We are controlled by our management and other related parties

         As of April 20, 1999,  our  chairman of the board of directors  and our
officers,   directors  and  related  parties,  as  a  group,   beneficially  own
approximately  22.1% and 24.9%,  respectively,  of our outstanding common stock.
These amounts include common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants and/or
options  as well as  indirect  ownership  of common  stock.  As a result,  these
stockholders  will  be able  to  exercise  significant  influence  over  matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval
of significant corporate transactions.


Our stock price is extremely volatile and may decrease rapidly

         The trading price and volume of our common stock has historically  been
subject to wide  fluctuation  in response to variations in actual or anticipated
operating results, announcements of new products or technological innovations by
us or our  competitors,  and  general  conditions  in the  digital  imaging  and
computer  industries.  In addition,  stock markets  generally  have  experienced
extreme price and volume trading volatility in recent years. This volatility has
had  a   substantial   effect  on  the  market  prices  of  securities  of  many
high-technology  companies  for reasons  frequently  unrelated to the  operating
performance  of the  specific  companies.  These broad market  fluctuations  may
significantly and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.


Your equity  interest in us may be diluted by the  issuance of  preferred  stock
with greater rights than the common stock which we can sell or issue at any time

         The sale or issuance of any shares of  preferred  stock  having  rights
superior  to those of the common  stock may result in a decrease in the value or
market price of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the
effect of  delaying,  deferring  or  preventing  a change of  ownership  without
further vote or action by the  stockholders  and may adversely affect the voting
and other rights of the holders of common stock.

         Our board of directors  currently is  authorized to issue up to 100,000
shares of preferred  stock.  The board has the power to  establish  the dividend
rates,  preferential payments on our liquidation,  voting rights, redemption and
conversion terms and privileges for any series of preferred stock.


If we cannot meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market maintenance requirements and Nasdaq
rules,  Nasdaq may delist the common  stock  which could  negatively  affect the
price of the common stock and your ability to sell the common stock

         In the  future,  we may not be able to  meet  the  listing  maintenance
requirements  of the Nasdaq  SmallCap  Market and Nasdaq rules,  which  require,
among other things, minimum net tangible assets of $2

                                      - 9 -

<PAGE>

million,  a minimum  bid price for our common  stock of $1.00,  and  shareholder
approval  prior to the issuance of securities  in connection  with a transaction
involving  the sale or issuance of common stock equal to 20 percent or more of a
company's outstanding common stock before the issuance for less than the greater
of book or market value of the stock. Although we currently comply with Nasdaq's
listing  maintenance   requirements,   it  is  possible  we  may  not  meet  the
requirements  in the future as in the past we have not always been in compliance
and are presently subject to a six month review period with Nasdaq. For example,
the dilution  resulting  from the issuance of the  convertible  preferred  stock
discussed above and subsequent  conversion and sale of common stock could have a
substantial  depressive  effect on the  common  stock bid  price  causing  it to
decrease below $1.00.  If we were no longer in compliance  with Nasdaq rules and
were unable to receive a waiver or achieve  compliance,  and if our common stock
were to be delisted  from the  SmallCap  market,  an investor in our company may
find it more difficult to sell our common stock. This lack of liquidity also may
make it more difficult for us to raise capital in the future.


If Nasdaq delists our common stock you would need to comply with the penny stock
regulations which could make it more difficult to sell your common stock

         In the  event  that our  securities  are not  listed  on the  SmallCap,
trading of the common stock would be  conducted in the "pink  sheets" or through
the  NASD's  Electronic  Bulletin  Board and  covered  by Rule  15g-9  under the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule,  broker/dealers who recommend
these  securities to persons  other than  established  customers and  accredited
investors  must  make  a  special  written  suitability  determination  for  the
purchaser and receive the purchaser's  written  agreement to a transaction prior
to sale.  Securities  are exempt from this rule if the market  price is at least
$5.00 per share.

         Although the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  adopted  regulations
that  generally  define a penny stock as any equity  security  that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share, our common stock, albeit currently less than
$5,00 per share,  does not  constitute  penny stock  because our common stock is
quoted on Nasdaq and our net tangible assets currently  exceed $2.0 million.  If
in the future our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these
regulations would require the delivery,  prior to any transaction  involving our
common stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the
risks associated with it. Furthermore, the ability of broker/dealers to sell the
common  stock and the  ability  of  purchasers  in this  offering  to sell their
securities in the  secondary  market would be limited.  As a result,  the market
liquidity  for the common stock would be severely  and  adversely  affected.  We
cannot assure you that trading in our securities will not be subject to these or
other  regulations  in the future which would  negatively  affect the market for
these securities.


                           Forward-Looking Statements

         This prospectus contains some forward-looking  statements which involve
substantial  risks  and  uncertainties.  These  forward-looking  statements  can
generally be identified by the use of forward-looking  words like "may," "will,"
"except,"  "anticipate,"  "intend,"  "estimate,"  "continue," "believe" or other
similar  words.  Similarly,  statements  that describe our future  expectations,
objectives and goals or contain  projections of our future results of operations
or financial condition are also forward-looking  statements. Our future results,
performance or  achievements  could differ  materially  from those  expressed or
implied in these  forward-looking  statements  as a result of  certain  factors,
including those listed under the heading "Risk Factors" and in other  cautionary
statements in this prospectus.


                                 Use of Proceeds

         The selling stockholders are selling all of the shares covered by this
prospectus for their own accounts. Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds
from the resale of the shares. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the
warrants, but, to date, none of the warrants have been exercised. However,

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>

if all the warrants of which we are  registering  the underlying  shares on this
prospectus  were exercised as of April 20, 1999, we would receive  approximately
$11,514,481 in proceeds. We would use any of these net proceeds from the sale of
these warrants for general corporate  purposes,  including  working capital.  We
will bear all expenses relating to this registration except for (a) brokerage or
underwriting   discounts,   commissions  and  expenses  and  (b)  any  fees  and
disbursements  over $5,000,  if any, paid to the counsels of some of the selling
shareholders  who are  employed  to review  this  prospectus,  which the selling
stockholders will pay.


                                 Dividend Policy

         We have never declared nor paid cash dividends on our common stock.  We
currently  anticipate  that we will  retain all  available  funds for use in the
operation of our business.  Because of this  expectation,  we do not  anticipate
paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.


                                    Dilution

         As of April 20, 1999, we had issued and outstanding:

                  o         19,820,915 shares of our common stock,

                  o         875 shares of Series D preferred stock,

                  o         881 shares of Series E preferred stock, and

                  o         420.5 shares of 5% convertible preferred stock.


         At that date, there were an additional  55,009,986 shares of our common
stock reserved for possible future issuances  pursuant to the various  documents
described below:

                         Shares Eligible For Future Sale

         Of the  19,820,915  shares of our common stock  outstanding as of April
20, 1999,  approximately  13,230,915  shares were presently freely  transferable
without restriction under the Securities Act.

         Of the remaining  6,590,000  shares of our common  stock,  5,150,000 of
these shares will become  unrestricted on the effective date of the registration
statement of which this  prospectus is a part, and 1,440,000 of these shares are
already freely tradeable as they were acquired more than two years ago or in the
market or are already registered.

         "Restricted securities" may be sold:

                  (1)      under a prospectus under an effective registration
                           statement under the Securities Act,

                  (2)      in compliance with the exemption provisions of Rule
                           144, or

                  (3)      under another exemption under the Securities Act.

         Rule  144  permits  sales of  "restricted  securities"  by any  person,
whether or not an  affiliate,  after one year.  At that time,  sales can be made
subject  to this  rule's  volume  and other  limitations  and after two years by
non-affiliates  without  adhering  to Rule  144's  volume or other  limitations.
Shares of our common stock owned by our  "affiliates"  which are not "restricted
securities"  may be sold at any time by  complying  with Rule  144's  volume and
other limitations.

         In  general,  an  "affiliate"  is a person with the power to manage and
direct our policies.  The  Securities  and Exchange  Commission has stated that,
generally,  executive  officers and directors of an entity are deemed affiliates
of the entity.


                              Selling Stockholders

         We will issue the shares of common stock covered by this  prospectus to

         We  are  registering  the  shares  of  common  stock  offered  in  this
prospectus  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  to  permit  public
secondary trading.  As a result, the selling  stockholders may offer all or part
of the shares for resale to the public from time to time.

         The  tables on the  following  page  lists  information  regarding  the
selling  stockholders'  ownership  of shares of our common  stock,  assuming the
conversion of the Series D and E preferred stock at 4,000 shares of common stock
per share of Series D  preferred  stock and  10,000  shares of common  stock per
share of Series E preferred stock, and the exercise of all the warrants,  and as
adjusted  to reflect  the sale of the shares of our  common  stock.  Information
concerning the selling  stockholders may change from time to time. To the extent
that the  selling  stockholders  or any of their  representatives  advise  us of
changes,  and if required,  we will report the changes in a  supplement  to this
document.  See  "Plan of  Distribution".  Except  as set  forth in this  section
"Selling  Stockholders"  and the footnotes to the selling  stockholders'  tables
below, to our knowledge, no selling stockholder has held any position or office,
or has had any material  relationship  or material  arrangement,  with us or any
parties  related to us within the past three  years.  See also  "Description  of
Securities"  for a  discussion  of the rights  and  obligations  of the  selling
shareholders' holdings of the Series D and E preferred stock and warrants.

         The number of shares of common  stock  indicated in the tables below is
an  estimate  and  includes  175% of the number of shares that would be issuable
upon conversion of 1,200 shares of the Series D preferred stock and 1,161 shares
of the Series E preferred  stock based on the closing  price of the common stock
when the  preferred  stock was sold plus the shares  issuable  upon  exercise of
warrants  (which are  subject to  adjustment)  evidencing  the right to purchase
shares of common stock issued in connection with the private

                                     - 14 -

sales of Series D and E preferred  stock.  The actual number of shares of common
stock could be materially more than this estimated number depending upon factors
that we cannot predict at this time.

         The "Amount Offered" and "Amount Beneficially Owned Following Offering"
columns  assume no sales are  effected  by the selling  stockholders  during the
offering period other than under this registration statement.

                            Description of Securities

Series D and E Preferred Stock

         As of January 13 and February 2, 1999,  pursuant to separate securities
purchase agreements and an exchange agreement, we agreed to sell 1,200 shares of
Series D preferred  stock with  accompanying  Series D warrants  and up to 1,161
shares of Series E preferred  stock with  accompanying  Series E warrants.  Each
share of Series D preferred  stock coupled with 2,000 Series D warrants and each
share of Series E preferred  stock  coupled with 5,000  Series E warrants,  were
sold for $2,000 and $5,000, respectively. Certificates of designation filed with
the Secretary of State of Delaware govern the particular terms and conditions of
the Series D and E preferred stock. The following is a brief  description of key
terms of the Series D and E preferred stock.

         Conversion Rights

         A holder  of  Series D or E  preferred  stock  shall  have the right to
convert its shares of Series D or E preferred  stock at any time after informing
us of its intention to convert its Series D or Series E preferred stock pursuant
to a notice of conversion.

         The  actual  number of shares of common  stock into which each share of
the Series D and E preferred  stock may be converted is  determined  by dividing
the  respective  purchase  price of a share of Series D and E  preferred  stock,
$2,000 and $5,000, respectively,  by an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) $0.50
and (b) an amount equal to 70% of the average  market price of the three trading
days with the lowest market prices in the 30 trading days immediately  preceding
and investor's notice of conversion.  Currently, a holder may convert each share
of Series D and E preferred  stock into 4,000 and 10,000 shares of common stock,
respectively.

         Dividends

         The  holders  of Series D and E  preferred  stock are not  entitled  to
receive any dividends.

         Voting Rights

         Each of the  Series D and E  preferred  stockholders  has the  right to
vote,  except as  otherwise  required  by Delaware  law,  on all  matters  which
stockholders  of our common  shares  have a right to vote on.  Each Series D and
Series E preferred stockholder has a right to cast one vote for each whole share
of our common  stock into which each Series D and Series E preferred  share held
by that  stockholder  is  convertible  on the  prescribed  record  date  for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on the matters at issue. However,
no Series D  stockholder  is  entitled  to vote more than 9.99% of the number of
shares entitled to be voted on any single matter at issue.


Series D and E Warrants

         Each selling  stockholder who purchased  Series D and E preferred stock
in the private sales received one Series D or E warrant for each dollar invested
in those preferred stocks. These warrants have an exercise price of $.875 and an
exercise term of five years from the date of issuance, meaning that the exercise
term will expire on various  dates in spring 2004.  In the event we issue shares
of common stock at a price below the market  price,  the  exercise  price of the
warrants will be adjusted downward

                                     - 20 -

<PAGE>

resulting in the issuance of  additional  shares upon  exercise of the warrants.
However,  shares of common  stock  issued upon  conversion  of the Series D or E
preferred stock will not result in the downward adjustment of the exercise price
of the warrants. In addition,  the exercise price of the warrants and the number
of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted
upon the  occurrence  of, among other  things,  a merger or sale of our company,
recapitalization, reorganization or reclassification of our capital.


                              Plan of Distribution

         The  selling  stockholders  may offer their  shares of common  stock at
various times in one or more of the following transactions:

         o    On any U.S. securities exchange on which our common stock may be
              listed at the time of sale;

         o    In the over-the-counter market;

         o    In transactions other than on U.S. securities exchanges or in the
              over-the-counter market;

         o    In connection with short sales; or

         o    In a combination of any of the above transactions.

         The  selling  stockholders  may offer their  shares of common  stock at
prevailing  market prices, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at
negotiated prices or at fixed prices.

         The selling stockholders may use broker-dealers to sell their shares of
common stock. If this occurs,  broker-dealers  will either receive  discounts or
commission from the selling  stockholder,  or they will receive commissions from
the  purchasers  of shares of common stock for whom they acted as agents.  These
brokers may act as dealers by  purchasing  any and all of the shares  covered by
this  prospectus  either as agents  for  others or as  principals  for their own
accounts and reselling these securities under the prospectus.

         The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or other persons acting
on the behalf of parties that  participate in the distribution of the shares may
be  considered   underwriters   under  the  Securities  Act.   Because  of  this
possibility, any commissions or profits they receive on the resale of the shares
may be considered  underwriting  discounts and commissions  under the Securities
Act.

         As of the date of this  prospectus,  we are not aware of any agreement,
arrangement or understanding between any broker or dealer and any of the selling
stockholders  with  respect  to the  offer  or sale  of the  shares  under  this
prospectus.  If we become aware of any agreement,  arrangement or understanding,
to the extent  required  under the  Securities  Act, we will file a supplemental
prospectus to disclose:

                  (1)      the name of any of the broker-dealers;

                  (2)      the number of shares involved;

                  (3)      the price at which the shares are to be sold;

                  (4)      the  commissions  paid or  discounts  or  concessions
                           allowed to the broker-dealers, where applicable;

                  (5)      that  the   broker-dealers   did  not   conduct   any
                           investigation  to verify the  information  set out in
                           this prospectus, as supplemented; and

                  (6)      other facts material to the transaction.


         The registration  agreements  relating to the private sales of Series D
and E  preferred  stock,  the  registration  rights  agreement  relating  to the
settlement and mutual release agreement and the subordinated note agreement have
reciprocal indemnification provisions between us and each selling stockholder to
indemnify  each  other  against  liabilities,  including  liabilities  under the
Securities  Act,  which  may be based  upon,  among  other  things,  any  untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission

                                     - 21 -

<PAGE>

or alleged  omission  of a  material  fact.  The letter of credit  reimbursement
agreement provides that we must indemnify the selling stockholders party to that
agreement  for  liabilities  caused  by our  failure  to  follow  the  terms and
conditions of that agreement.

                    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows companies to
indemnify their directors and officers against  expenses,  judgments,  fines and
amounts paid in settlement under the conditions and limitations described in the
law.

         Article Seventh of our certificate of  incorporation  provides that the
registrant shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant to Section
145 of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law to the full extent  permitted by
Section 145. Article Ninth of our certificate of incorporation  provides that no
director of

                                     - 22 -

<PAGE>

our  shall be  personally  liable to the  corporation  or its  stockholders  for
monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by the director as a director,
except for a breach of the director's  duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders,  for any acts or  omissions  not in good  faith  or which  involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, an unlawful stock purchase
or payment of a dividend  under Delaware law or for any  transaction  from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

         Article X of our bylaws  provides that the registrant  shall  indemnify
its  officers,  directors  and  employees.  The rights to  indemnity  thereunder
continue  as to a person who has ceased to be a director,  officer,  employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators
of the  person.  In  addition,  expenses  incurred  by a director  or officer in
defending any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director or officer of the  registrant  shall be paid by the registrant
unless the officer or director is adjudged  liable for  negligence or misconduct
in the performance of his or her duties.

         We  have  entered  into  indemnification  agreements  with  all  of our
officers and directors.  In some cases, the provisions of these  indemnification
agreements may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained
in our certificate of incorporation  or otherwise  permitted under Delaware law.
Each  indemnification  agreement  may  require  us to  indemnify  an  officer or
director  against  liabilities that may arise by reason of his status or service
as an officer or director,  or against  liabilities  arising from the director's
willful misconduct of a culpable nature.

         We maintain a directors  and officers  liability  policy with  Carolina
Casualty  that  contains  an  aggregate   limit  of  liability  of   $5,000,000.
Furthermore,  we maintain an excess directors and officers liability policy with
Philadelphia  Insurance  Company  for  liability  in excess of  $5,000,000  that
contains  an  aggregate  limit of  liability  of  $5,000,000  and also an excess
directors and officers  liability  policy with  Fireman's  Fund for liability in
excess of $10,000,000  that contains an aggregate  limit of  $5,000,000.  All of
these policies expire on October 1, 1999.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors,  officers and controlling persons
pursuant to these  provisions,  or otherwise,  we have been advised that, in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,  this type of indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the  Securities Act and is,  therefore,
unenforceable.

         Parker Chapin Flattau & Klimpl,  LLP, New York, New York will pass upon

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section  145 of the  General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware
provides,  in general,  that a  corporation  incorporated  under the laws of the
State of Delaware,  such as the registrant,  may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is  threatened  to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or
completed  action,  suit or proceeding  (other than a derivative action by or in
the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the  request of the  corporation  as a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
another  enterprise,  against expenses (including  attorney's fees),  judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement  actually and  reasonably  incurred by such
person in connection  with such action,  suit or proceeding if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner  such person  reasonably  believed to be in or not
opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation,  and,  with  respect to any
criminal action or proceeding,  had no reasonable cause to believe such person's
conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation
may indemnify  any such person  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)
actually and reasonably  incurred by such person in connection  with the defense
or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner  such  person  reasonably  believed  to be in or not  opposed to the best
interests of the corporation,  except that no  indemnification  shall be made in
respect of any claim,  issue or matter as to which such  person  shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation  unless and only to the extent that the
Court of  Chancery  of the State of  Delaware  or any other  court in which such
action was brought  determines such person is fairly and reasonable  entitled to
indemnity for such expenses.

         Our certificate of  incorporation  provides that directors shall not be
personally  liable for monetary  damages to our company or our  stockholders for
breach of fiduciary  duty as a director,  except for liability  resulting from a
breach of the  director's  duty of loyalty to our  company or our  stockholders,
intentional  misconduct or willful violation of law, actions or inactions not in
good faith,  an unlawful  stock purchase or payment of a dividend under Delaware
law, or transactions  from which the director derives improper personal benefit.
Such  limitation  of  liability  does not affect the  availability  of equitable
remedies  such  as  injunctive   relief  or  rescission.   Our   certificate  of
incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers,  directors and other
agents to the fullest  extent  permitted  under Delaware law. Our bylaws provide
that the registrant shall indemnify our officers,  directors and employees.  The
rights to  indemnity  thereunder  continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director,  officer,  employee  or agent and shall  inure to the  benefit  of the
heirs,  executors,  and  administrators  of the person.  In  addition,  expenses
incurred by a director or officer in defending any action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of our company
shall be paid by the  registrant  unless such  officer,  director or employee is
adjudged  liable for  negligence or misconduct in the  performance of his or her
duties.

         This  means  that our  certificate  of  incorporation  provides  that a
director is not personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders
for breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director. A director will be held
liable for a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, his
or her intentional misconduct or willful violation of law, actions or in actions
not in good faith,  an unlawful  stock  purchase or payment of a dividend  under
Delaware  law,  or  transactions  from which the  director  derives an  improper
personal benefit.  This limitation of liability does not affect the availability
of  equitable  remedies  against the  director  including  injunctive  relief or
rescission.  Our  certificate  of  incorporation  authorizes us to indemnify our
officers,  directors  and other  agent to the  fullest  extent  permitted  under
Delaware law. We have entered into indemnification agreements with

                                      II-1

<PAGE>

all of our  officers  and  directors.  In some cases,  the  provisions  of these
indemnification  agreements  may be broader  than the  specific  indemnification
provisions  contained in our certificate of incorporation or otherwise permitted
under Delaware law. Each  indemnification  agreement may require us to indemnify
an  officer  or  director  against  liabilities  that may arise by reason of his
status or service as an officer or director, or against liabilities arising from
the director's willful misconduct of a culpable nature.

         We maintain a directors  and officers  liability  policy with  Carolina
Casualty  that  contains  an  aggregate   limit  of  liability  of   $5,000,000.
Furthermore,  we maintain an excess directors and officers liability policy with
Philadelphia  Insurance  Company  for  liability  in excess of  $5,000,000  that
contains  an  aggregate  limit of  liability  of  $5,000,000  and also an excess
directors and officers  liability  policy with  Fireman's  Fund for liability in
excess of $10,000,000  that contains an aggregate  limit of  $5,000,000.  All of
these policies expire on October 1, 1999.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
                       the Securities Act;

                  (ii) To reflect in the  prospectus any facts or events arising
after the  effective  date of the  registration  statement  (or the most  recent
post-effective  amendment  thereof)  which,  individually  or in the  aggregate,
represent a fundamental  change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was  registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of
the estimated  maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the  Commission  pursuant  to Rule 424 (b) if, in the  aggregate  the
changes in volume  and price  represent  no more than 20  percent  change in the
maximum  aggregate  offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

                  (iii) To include any material  information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously  disclosed in the registration  statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement.

         (2) That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof; and

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling
persons of the registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

         In the event that a claim for indemnification  against such liabilities
(other than the  payment by the  registrant  of  expenses  incurred or paid by a
director,  officer,  or  controlling  person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
of controlling  person in connection with the securities being  registered,  the
registrant  will,  unless in the  opinion  of its  counsel  the  matter has been
settled by controlling precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question  whether such  indemnification  by it is against  public  policy as
expressed in the Securities  Act and will be governed by the final  adjudication
of such issue.

         The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining  any liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to section  13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  (and,  where  applicable,  each  filing of an
employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant  to  section  15(d)  of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934)  that is  incorporated  by  reference  in the
registration  statement  shall  be  deemed  to be a new  registration  statement
relating to the securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bonafide offering thereof.

registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the  requirements  for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this  Amendment
No.1  to  its  Registration  Statement  to  be  signed  on  its  behalf  by  the

Section  1542 of the  Civil  Code of the  State  of  California  which  reads as
follows:

A  GENERAL  RELEASE  DOES NOT  EXTEND TO CLAIMS  THE  CREDITOR  DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO WHICH EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE,  WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Notwithstanding Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, Mr. French and the
Company  expressly  agree that this  Agreement  shall be given full  force,  and

Company's  legal counsel in preparation  for his potential  testimony  regarding
human resource or related matters at the Company.

17. This  Agreement  shall be construed and governed by the laws of the State of
California.  In the event that any provision of this Release of Claims Agreement
is held to be void, null or unenforceable,  the remaining  portions shall remain
in full force and effect.  To this end, the  provisions  of this  Agreement  are
severable.

18. Mr. French  acknowledges  that Mr. French may later discover facts different
from or in addition to those which he knows or believes to be true with  respect
to all or any of the liabilities,  claims, defenses,  causes of action, costs or
demands  released in this Agreement;  however Mr. French agrees that the general
release set forth  above shall be and shall  remain  effective  in al  respects,
notwithstanding  the discovery of such different or additional facts. Mr. French
and Company each acknowledge and represent that no promise or representation not
contained in this Agreement has been made to them, and acknowledge and represent
that  this  Agreement  contains  all  terms  and  conditions  pertaining  to the

construed in accordance with and may be deemed governed by the laws of the State
of California in any arbitration proceeding.

that may be required to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.


                                       E-7

22. This  Agreement  shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and to their respective representatives,  successors,  agents and
assigns.

counterpart shall have the force and effect of an original,  including facsimile
signatures.

24. The  invalidity of any provisions of this Agreement as determined by a court
or arbitrator of competent  jurisdiction  shall in no way affect the validity of
any other provision hereof.

25.  No breach  of any  provision  of this  Agreement  can be  waived  unless in
writing.  Waiver  of any one  breach  shall  not be deemed to be a waiver of any
other breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

26. Mr. French understands,  represents and certifies that he has carefully read
and fully  understood  all of the  provisions  and effects of this Agreement and
that he is knowingly and  voluntarily  entering into this  Agreement free of any

                                                                    Exhibit 4.39

                              SEPARATION AGREEMENT
                        AND GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS

         This Separation Agreement and General Release of all Claims
("Agreement") is made by and between Dr. Edward W. Savarese ("Dr. Savarese") on
the one hand, and Imaging Technologies, Inc. ("ITEC") on the other.
(Collectively, Savarese and ITEC shall be referred to as "the Parties.")

         1. Dr.  Savarese is currently an employee of ITEC. In  accordance  with
this Agreement with ITEC, his employment will terminate as of the Effective Date
of this Agreement as defined in Paragraph 10.

         2. The parties desire to resolve any claims relating to Dr.  Savarese's
separation from employment and therefore enter into this Agreement.

         3. In  consideration  of and in return for the  promises  and  releases
undertaken  by ITEC and Dr.  Savarese in this  Agreement,  the Parties  agree as
follows:

         a.       Except for the  provisions of paragraph 3c, this  Agreement is
                  neither  enforceable nor effective until the Effective Date as
                  defined in paragraph 10.

         b.       ITEC has filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
                  (the  "SEC")  a  Registration   statement  on  Form  S-3  (the
                  "Registration Statement"). ITEC agrees to contact Dr. Savarese
                  immediately upon receipt of the "Effectivity  Letter" from the
                  SEC or  actions  or  interactions  on the  part  of the SEC to
                  indicate the effectivity of the Registration Statement. Within
                  three   trading  days  after  the   effective   date  of  this
                  Registration  Statement,  ITEC  shall  issue  to Dr.  Savarese
                  500,000 fully registered shares of ITEC common stock.

         c.       Dr. Savarese will use his reasonable efforts to collect the
                  debts from the companies listed on Exhibit 1 to this Agreement
                  that are indebted to ITEC. ITEC agrees to use its best efforts
                  to assist Dr. Savarese in collecting the debts listed on
                  Exhibit 1. Dr. Savarese shall have until December 31, 1999 to
                  make initial contact with the companies listed on Exhibit 1.
                  Dr. Savarese shall have until December 31, 1999 to make
                  initial contact with the companies listed on Exhibit 1. If Dr.
                  Savarese has made contact with said companies then any monies
                  paid by said companies to ITEC after this Agreement's
                  Effective Date shall be divided evenly between Dr. Savarese
                  and ITEC. The parties hereby confirm that any monies paid to
                  Dr. Savarese in accordance with this paragraph 3c are in
                  consideration for his efforts in collecting the monies owed to
                  ITEC by the companies listed on Exhibit 1.

         d.       Assuming Dr. Savarese elects COBRA continuation coverage, ITEC
                  will pay all applicable  premiums for Dr. Savarese to continue
                  receiving  medical,  dental and vision  insurance  provided to
                  current employees, through COBRA continuation coverage, for 18
                  months from the Effective Date of this Agreement or until such
                  time as Dr.  Savarese is covered  under the medical  insurance
                  plan of another employer, whichever occurs first. Dr. Savarese
                  shall be  responsible  for his own medical,  dental and vision
                  insurance payments under COBRA or otherwise after that time.

         e.       ITEC  represents  that Dr.  Savarese  was a named  insured  in
                  ITEC's current  insurance  policy for officers' and directors'
                  coverage.  ITEC  agrees  that  it  will  inform  Dr.  Savarese
                  concerning any  litigation  against the Company that names Dr.
                  Savarese as a defendant.

         f.       Dr. Savarese waives the right to receive his unpaid salary
                  from ITEC as well as payment for any accrued but unused
                  vacation.

         g.       Except for any rights or claims created by or contained in
                  this Agreement, Dr. Savarese does hereby release ITEC and
                  ITEC's parents, subsidiaries, related companies and business
                  concerns, past and present, and each of them, as well as each

                  liabilities, costs, expenses, rights of action, and causes of
                  action of any kind or character whatsoever, whether known or
                  unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising prior to the date
                  of this Agreement. Dr. Savarese specifically releases the
                  Releasees from any claim for attorneys' fees. DR. SAVARESE
                  ALSO SPECIFICALLY AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES DR. SAVARESE IS
                  WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO RECOVERY BASED ON STATE OR FEDERAL AGE,
                  SEX, PREGNANCY, RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, MARITAL STATUS,
                  RELIGION, VETERAN STATUS, DISABILITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION,
                  MEDICAL CONDITION OR OTHER ANTI- DISCRIMINATION LAWS,
                  INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TITLE VII, THE AGE

                  DISABILITIES ACT, THE CALIFORNIA FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING
                  ACT AND THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT, ALL AS
                  AMENDED, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM BE BASED UPON AN ACTION FILED BY
                  DR. SAVARESE OR BY A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.

         h.       Except for any rights or claims  created  by or  contained  in
                  this Agreement, ITEC and ITEC's parents, subsidiaries, related
                  companies and business concerns, past and present, and each of
                  them, as well as each of their partners, trustees,  directors,
                  officers,  attorneys,  past  and  present,  and  each  of them
                  (collectively  referred to as  "Releasors")  do hereby release
                  Dr.  Savarese  from all claims,  demands,  warranties,  debts,
                  obligations,  liabilities,  costs, expenses, rights of action,
                  and causes of action,  whether known or unknown,  suspected or
                  unsuspected, arising prior to the date of this Agreement. ITEC
                  and the Releasors specifically release Dr.
                  Savarese from any claim for attorneys' fees.

         i.       Dr.  Savarese and ITEC, and the  Releasors,  and each of them,
                  understand and agree that as to all of the claims  released in
                  this Agreement, the release when effective includes all claims
                  of  every  nature  and  kind  whatsoever,  known  or  unknown,
                  suspected or unsuspected, except as expressly provided in this
                  Agreement,  and that all  rights,  if any,  that any party may
                  have under  California  Civil Code section 1542 are  expressly
                  waived. Section 1542 provides as follows:

                           "A general  release  does not extend to claims  which
                           the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
                           favor at the time of executing the release,  which is
                           known  by  him  must  have  materially  affected  his
                           settlement with the debtor."

Dr. Savarese,  ITEC, and the Releasors  acknowledge that they may discover facts
different  from,  or in addition to, those which they know or believe to be true
with  respect  to the  claims  released  in this  Agreement  and agree  that the
Agreement and the releases  contained in it shall be and remain effective in all
respects  notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery of
them.

         4. If any provision of this  Agreement or  application  thereof is held
invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the
Agreement   which  can  be  given  effect  without  the  invalid   provision  or
application. To this end, the provisions of this Agreement are severable.

         5. This  Agreement  and all  covenants  and  releases set forth in this
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective
Parties, their legal successors, heirs, assigns, partners,


                                      E-11

not in fact  given  that  period  of time or did not use the  entire  21 days to

         9. The Parties  acknowledge and agree that Dr. Savarese may revoke this

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE  HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN  REGISTERED  UNDER
THE  SECURITIES  ACT OF  1933,  AS  AMENDED,  AND MAY NOT BE  SOLD,  PLEDGED  OR
OTHERWISE  TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT
OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY  SATISFACTORY TO THE
CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                            WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK


Corporation                     Imaging Technologies Corporation,
                                a Delaware Corporation
Number of Shares:               60,000
Class of Stock:                 Common
Initial Exercise Price:         $2.50 per share
Issue Date:                     June 23, 1998
Expiration Date:                June 23, 2003

         THIS WARRANT  CERTIFIES THAT, in  consideration of the payment of $1.00
and for other  good and  valuable  consideration,  IMPERIAL  BANK or  registered
assignee  ("Holder")  is  entitled  to  purchase  the  number of fully  paid and
non-assessable  shares  of  the  class  of  securities  (the  "Shares")  of  the
corporation  (the  "Company")  at the  initial  exercise  price per  Share  (the
"Warrant Price") all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of
this Warrant,  subject to the  provisions  and upon the terms and conditions set
forth of this Warrant.

ARTICLE 1.  EXERCISE

                  1.1 Method of Exercise.  Holder may  exercise  this Warrant by
delivering this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in  substantially
the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal  office of the Company.  Unless
Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holder shall
also  deliver to the  Company a check for the  aggregate  Warrant  Price for the
Shares being purchased.

                  1.2 Conversion  Right.  In lieu of exercising  this Warrant as
specified  in  Section  1.1,  Holder  from may from  time to time  convert  this
Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a)
the  aggregate  fair market  value of the Shares or other  securities  otherwise
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such
Shares by (b) the fair market  value of one Share.  The fair market value of the
Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.5

                  1.3 Alternative Stock Appreciation  Right. At Holder's option,
the Company  shall pay Holder the fair market value of the Shares  issuable upon
conversion  of this  Warrant  pursuant  to  Section  1.2 in cash in lieu of such
Shares.

                  1.4 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a
public market,  the fair market value of the Shares will be the closing price of
the Shares (or the closing  price of the  Company's  stock into which the Shares
are  convertible)  reported  for the  business  day  immediately  before  Holder
delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company.  If the Shares are not regularly
traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine
fair  market  value  in  its  reasonable  good  faith  judgment.  The  foregoing
notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder
disagrees  with such  determination,  then the Company and Holder shall promptly
agree upon a reputable  investment banking firm to undertake such valuation.  If
the valuation of such investment  banking firm is greater than determined by the
Board of Directors,  then all fees and expenses of such investment  banking firm
shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses
shall be paid by Holder.

                                      E-13

<PAGE>

                  1.5 Delivery of  Certificate  and New Warrant.  Promptly after
Holder  exercises or converts this Warrant,  the Company shall deliver to Holder
certificates  for the Shares  acquired  and, if this  Warrant has not been fully
exercised  or  converted  and has not expired,  a new Warrant  representing  the
Shares not so acquired.

                  1.6 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory  to the Company of the loss,  theft,  destruction  or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of loss,  theft or destruction,  on delivery of an
indemnity  agreement  reasonably  satisfactory in form and amount to the Company
or, in the case of mutilation,  or surrender and  cancellation  of this Warrant,
the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a
new warrant of like tenor.

                  1.7 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the
                      Company.

                           1.7.1    "Acquisition". For the purpose of this
Warrant, "Acquisition" means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the
Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where
the holders of the Company's securities before the transaction beneficially own
less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after
the transaction.

                           1.7.2    Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing
of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this Warrant,
then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash and
property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the
unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the
record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall
be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the
surviving corporation to assume the obligations of the Warrant.

                           1.7.3    Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any
Acquisition the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant
and Holder has not otherwise exercised this Warrant in full, then the
unexercised portion of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically
converted pursuant to Section 1.2 and thereafter Holder shall participate in the
Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities
of the Company.

                           1.7.4    Purchase Right. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised
portion of this Warrant for cash upon the closing of any Acquisition for an
amount equal to (a) the fair market value of any consideration that would have
been received by Holder in consideration of the Shares had Holder exercised the
unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately before the record date for
determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the proceeds of the
Acquisition, less (b) the aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares, but in no event
less than zero.


ARTICLE 2.  ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

                  2.1 Stock Dividends,  Splits,  Etc. If the Company declares or
pays  a  dividend  on its  common  stock  payable  in  common  stock,  or  other
securities,  subdivides  the  outstanding  common stock into a greater amount of
common  stock,  then upon  exercise of this  Warrant,  for each Share  acquired,
Holder  shall  receive,  without  cost to Holder,  the total  number and kind of
securities  to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares
of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

                  2.2  Reclassification,  Exchange  or  Substitution.  Upon  any
reclassification,  exchange,  substitution,  or other  event  that  results in a
change of the number  and/or class of the  securities  issuable upon exercise or
conversion of this Warrant,  Holder shall be entitled to receive,  upon exercise
or conversion of this  Warrant,  the number and kind of securities  and property
that  Holder  would  have  received  for the  Shares  if this  Warrant  had been
exercised immediately before such reclassification,  exchange,  substitution, or
other

                                      E-14

<PAGE>

event.  Such an event shall include any automatic  conversion of the outstanding
or issuable  securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares
to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation
upon the closing of a registered  public offering of the Company's common stock.
The Company or its successor  shall  promptly  issue to Holder a new Warrant for
such new  securities  or other  property.  The new  Warrant  shall  provide  for
adjustments  which shall be as nearly  equivalent as may be  practicable  to the
adjustments  provided  for in this  Article  2  including,  without  limitation,
adjustments  to the Warrant  Price and to the number of  securities  or property
issuable  upon exercise of the new Warrant.  The  provisions of this Section 2.2
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions,
or other events.

                  2.3  Adjustments  for  Combinations,  Etc. If the  outstanding
Shares are combined or consolidated,  by reclassification  or otherwise,  into a
lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.

                  2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances.  The Warrant Price and
the number of Shares  issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to
adjustment,  from  time to  time,  in the  manner  set  forth on  Exhibit  B, if
attached, in the event of Diluting Issuances (as defined on Exhibit A).

                  2.5 No Impairment.  The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles  of  Incorporation  or through a  reorganization,  transfer  of assets,
consolidation,  merger,  dissolution,  issue, or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed  under this  Warrant by the  Company,  but
shall at all times in good faith  assist in carrying out all the  provisions  of
this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or  appropriate
to protect Holder's rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company
takes  any  action  affecting  the  Shares or its  common  stock  other  than as
described above that adversely  affects Holder's rights under this Warrant,  the
Warrant Price shall be adjusted  downward and the number of Shares issuable upon
exercise  of this  Warrant  shall be  adjusted  upward in such a manner that the
aggregate Warrant Price of this Warrant is unchanged.

                  2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the
Warrant  Price,   the  Company  at  its  expense  shall  promptly  compute  such
adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer
setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
The Company shall,  upon written request,  furnish Holder a certificate  setting
forth  the  Warrant  Price in effect  upon the date  thereof  and the  series of
adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

ARTICLE 3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

                  3.1  Representations   and  Warranties.   The  Company  hereby
represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:

                  (a) The initial Warrant Price  referenced on the first page of
this  Warrant is not greater  than the fair market value of the Shares as of the

                  (b) All Shares  which may be issued  upon the  exercise of the
purchase right represented by this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable
upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly
issued,  fully paid and  nonassessable,  and free of any liens and  encumbrances
except for  restrictions  on transfer  provided  for herein or under  applicable
federal and state securities laws.

                  3.2 Notice of Certain Events.  If the Company  proposes at any
time (a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its common stock,  whether
in cash, property,  stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash
dividend;  (b) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or
series  of its stock  any  additional  shares of stock of any class or series or
other rights; (c) to effect any  reclassification  or recapitalization of common
stock; (d) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation,  or sell,
lease,  license,  or  convey  all or  substantially  all of  its  assets,  or to
liquidate, dissolve or

the occurrence of such event);  and (3) in the case of the matter referred to in
(e)  above,  the same  notice as is given to the  holders  of such  registration
rights.

                  3.3  Information  Rights.  So long as the  Holder  holds  this
Warrant  and/or any of the Shares,  the Company  shall deliver to the Holder (a)
promptly after mailing,  copies of all  communiques to the  shareholders  of the
Company,  (b) within  ninety  (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company,  the annual audited  financial  statements of the Company  certified by
independent public accountants of recognized  standing and (c) within forty-five
(45) days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year,

for, purchase or otherwise acquire common stock or Convertible Securities.

                  (b)   "Convertible   Securities"   means  any   evidences   of

convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.

                  (c)  "Issue"  means to  grant,  issue,  sell,  assume or fix a
record date for determining  persons entitled to receive any security (including
Options), whichever of the foregoing is the first to occur.

                  (d)   "Additional   Common  Shares"  means  all  common  stock
(including  reissued  shares) Issued (or deemed to be issued pursuant to Section
2) after the date of the  Warrant.  Additional  Common  Shares does not include,
however, any common stock Issued in a transaction  described in Sections 2.1 and
2.2 of the Warrant;  any common stock Issued upon  conversion of preferred stock
outstanding  on the date of the Warrant;  the Shares;  or common stock Issued as
incentive or in a nonfinancing transaction to employees,  officers, directors or
consultants to the Company.

                  (e) The  shares  of  common  stock  ultimately  Issuable  upon
exercise of an Option (including the shares of common stock ultimately  Issuable
upon conversion or exercise of a Convertible  Security  Issuable  pursuant to an
Option) are deemed to be Issued when the Option is Issued.  The shares of common
stock ultimately Issuable upon conversion or exercise of a Convertible  Security
(other than a Convertible Security Issued pursuant to an Option) shall be deemed
Issued upon Issuance of the Convertible Security.

         2. Deemed  Issuance of Additional  Common Shares.  The shares of common
stock  ultimately  Issuable upon exercise of an Option  (including the shares of
common stock  ultimately  Issuable upon  conversion or exercise of a Convertible
Security Issuable pursuant to an Option) are deemed to be Issued when the Option
is Issued.  The shares of common stock  ultimately  Issuable upon  conversion or
exercise of a Convertible  Security  (other than a Convertible  Security  Issued
pursuant to an Option) shall be deemed Issued upon Issuance

                                      E-19

of the  Convertible  Security.  The maximum  amount of common stock  Issuable is
determined  without  regard  to  any  future  adjustments  permitted  under  the
instrument creating the Options or Convertible Securities.

         3.       Adjustment of Warrant Price for Diluting Issuances

                  3.1  Ratchet  Adjustment.  If the  Company  issues  Additional
Common Shares after the date of the Warrant and the consideration per Additional
Common Share  (determined  pursuant to Section 9) is less than the Warrant Price
in effect  immediately  before such Issue (a "Diluting  Issuance"),  the Warrant
Price shall be reduced to the letter of:

                  (a) the amount of such consideration per Additional Common
Share; or

                  (b) if the  Company's  common  stock is traded  on a  national
securities exchange or the National  Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotation  System,  the last reported bid or sale price of the Company's  common
stock on the first trading day following a public announcement of the Issuance.

                  3.2  Adjustment of Number of Shares.  Upon each  adjustment of
the Warrant  Price,  the number of Shares  Issuable upon exercise of the Warrant
shall be increased  to equal the  quotient  obtained by dividing (a) the product
resulting from  multiplying  (i) the number of Shares  Issuable upon exercise of
the Warrant and (ii) the Warrant  Price,  in each case as in effect  immediately
before such adjustment, by (b) the adjusted Warrant Price.

                  3.3  Securities  Deemed  Outstanding.  For the purpose of this
Section 3, all securities Issuable upon exercise of any outstanding  Convertible
Securities or Options,  Warrants,  or other rights to acquire  securities of the
Company shall be deemed to be outstanding.

         4.  No  Adjustment  for  Issuances   Following  Deemed  Issuances.   No
adjustment  to the Warrant  Price shall be made upon the  exercise of Options or
conversion of Convertible Securities.

         5.  Adjustment  Following  Changes in Terms of  Options or  Convertible
Securities.  If the  consideration  payable  to, or the  amount of common  stock
Issuable by, the Company increases or decreases,  respectively,  pursuant to the
terms of any outstanding  Options or Convertible  Securities,  the Warrant Price
shall be  recomputed  to reflect such  increase or decrease.  The  recomputation
shall be made as of the  time of the  Issuance  of the  Options  or  Convertible
Securities.  Any changes in the Warrant Price that occurred  after such Issuance
because other  Additional  Common Shares were Issued or deemed Issued shall also
be recomputed.

         6. Recompuation  Upon Expiration of Options or Convertible  Securities.
The Warrant Price computed upon the original Issue of any Options or Convertible
Securities,  and any subsequent  adjustments based thereon,  shall be recomputed
when any options or rights of conversion  under  Convertible  Securities  expire
without having been exercised.  In the case of Convertible Securities or Options
for  common  stock,  the  Warrant  Price  shall  be  recomputed  as if the  only
Additional  Common Shares Issued were the shares of common stock actually Issued
upon the exercise of such securities,  if any, and as if the only  consideration
received  therefor  was the  consideration  actually  received  upon the  Issue,
exercise or conversion of the Options or Convertible Securities.  in the case of
Options for Convertible Securities,  the Warrant Price shall be recomputed as if
the only Convertible  Securities Issued were the Convertible Securities actually
Issued  upon the  exercise  thereof,  if any,  and as if the only  consideration
received  therefor  was  the  consideration  actually  received  by the  Company
(determined  pursuant to Section  9), if any,  upon the Issue of the Options for
the Convertible Securities.

         7.  Limit  on  Readjustments.  No  readjustment  of the  Warrant  Price
pursuant  to  Sections 5 or 6 shall  increase  the  Warrant  Price more than the
amount  of any  decrease  made  in  respect  of the  Issue  of  any  Options  or
Convertible Securities.

                                      E-20

<PAGE>

         8. 30 Day  Options.  In the case of any  Options  that  expire by their
terms not more than 30 days after the date of Issue  thereof,  no  adjustment of
the  Warrant  Price shall be made until the  expiration  or exercise of all such
Options.

         9.  Computation of  Consideration.  The  consideration  received by the
Company  for the Issue of any  Additional  Common  Shares  shall be  computed as
follows:

                  (a) Cash shall be valued at the amount of cash received by the
Corporation,  excluding  amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued
dividends.

                  (b) Property.  Property, other than cash, shall be computed at
the fair market  value  thereof at the time of the Issue as  determined  in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

                  (c) Mixed  Consideration.  The  consideration  for  Additional
Common  Shares  Issued   together  with  other   property  of  the  Company  for
consideration that covers both shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.

                  (d)  Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per
Additional Common Share for Options and Convertible Securities shall be
determined by dividing:

                           (i)      the total amount, if any, received or
receivable by the Company for the Issue of the Options or Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum amount of additional consideration (as set forth in
the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained
therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the
Company upon exercise of the Options or conversion of the Convertible
Securities, by

                           (ii)     the maximum amount of common stock (as set
forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) ultimately
Issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion of such Convertible
Securities.

         10.      General.

San Diego, CA  92128-3401
Attn.: Brian Bonar, President and CEO


Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Imaging Technologies Corporation (the "Company") in
connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement") relating
to up to 54,522,740 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, par
value $0.005 per share (the "Common Stock"). Of such Shares, 28,717,500 may be
issued upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series
D Preferred Stock") and of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series
E Preferred Stock", and together with the Series D Preferred Stock, the
"Preferred Stock"), 14,358,750 may be issued upon the exercise of warrants
issued or issuable to the holders of the Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
Warrants"), 5,359,823 may be issued upon the exercise of warrants issued or
issuable to holders of certain Company warrants that are not Preferred Warrants
(the "Other Warrants") and 6,086,667 shares of common stock have been issued by
the Company (the "Other Shares").

In connection with the foregoing, we have examined, among other things, the
Registration Statement, the Preferred Warrants, the Other Warrants and originals
or copies, satisfactory to us, of all such corporate records and of all such
agreements, certificates and other documents as we have deemed relevant and
necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination,
we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original
documents submitted to us as copies. As to any facts material to such opinion,
we have, to the extent that relevant facts were not independently established by
us, relied on certificates of public officials and certificates, oaths and
declarations of officers or other representatives of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: (i) the Shares issuable
upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock (when such shares are paid for
and issued in accordance with the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock) will be
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) the Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock (when such shares are paid for and
issued in accordance with the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock) will be
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (iii) the Shares issuable upon
the exercise of the Preferred Warrants (when such Shares are paid for and issued
in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Warrants) will be legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable; (iv) the Shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Other Warrants (when such Shares are paid for and issued in accordance with the
terms of the Other Warrants)


                                      E-24
<PAGE>


will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (v) the Other Shares
are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. We hereby consent to the use
of our name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus constituting a
part of the Registration Statement and to the filing of a copy of this opinion
as an exhibit.


Very truly yours,
