I. INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The scripts were written by me (Conny Ankargren) to help me convert
a big amout of files using Artdepartment. this would take extremly long
time if i hade to load every picture manualy, make the right configurations
and then save the new picture.
Instead i wrote these scripts called:
PICTURE-2-IFF
and
GIF <> JPG
II. ABOUT PIC2IFF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Picture-2-Iff script is the most advanced of the two scripts.
This is what it can do:
1. It handles ALL selected files.
2. it Uses Unlimited Configuration files or Manual mode.
3. It Loads ANY picture format that your version of ADpro handles.
4. It can Scale the pictures 1-100 %...
5. It can make the picture greyscale only.
6. It can use any of ADpro's Dither modes.
7. it can use Low or Hi-res.
8. it Saves the picture in any IFF Color format.
9. You can define if it should Iconify Dopus while working.
10. It automaticly starts Apro if its not already running.
11. You can define if Artdepartment should be running or not after
using the script.
Now lets se how to INSTALL this script...
IIV. ABOUT GIF<>JPG

is what the script can do:

2. It Loads ANY picture format that your version of ADpro handles.
3. It can Scale the pictures 1-100 %...
4. It can make the picture greyscale only.

IV. INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Too install these scripts do like this:
1. Unarc this LHA file in your sys: device..
2. Load the Directory Opus Configuration program.
3. Create a new BUTTON/MENU FUNCTION called "Pic2Iff".
Install the S:Pic2iff.dopus(.ENG) as a Arexx script.
4. Create another new BUTTON/MENU FUNCTION called "Gif<>Jpg".
Install the S:Gif2Jpg.dopus(.ENG) as a Arexx script.
5. Make sure that the Adpro:Adpro file exists, otherwise the script
will not find artdepartment.

You can have unlimited of these configfiles. The config files should be

in this archive:

256-16cSMALL.cfg - Converts Gif/Jpg to 16 Colors ans shrinks the picture
256-16g.cfg - Converts Gif/Jpg to 16 colors in greyscale
256-256.cfg - Converts Gif/Jpg to Iff 256 colors
