- HHsFastUniversalGioModules 5.0a (c) by Helmut Hoffmann 1995-98
- ===============================
-
- *** New: Now with 24Bit Datatype support (for picture.datatype V43) ***
-
- +++ separate module orders for PhotoAlbum/CyberShow package owners now
- possible again. +++
-
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | The fast and flexible loader/saver modules for Photogenics (V1.2, V2.0, ...) |
- | (this module is probably NOT usable with Photogenics demo or lite versions!) |
- | * fast loading of more than 20 file formats (incl. e.g. PhotoCD) |
- | * support for Datatype loading (now incl. support of 24Bit Datatypes) |
- | * downscaled loading support (load big pictures with few memory) |
- | * TrueColor animation creation saver for CyberGraphX (incl. Piccasso 96 soft) |
- | or EGS users |
- | * automatic animation creation and conversion with included ARexx scripts |
- | (Photogenics V2.0 or higher needed) |
- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- Important: The modules CAN ONLY BE ORDERED in conjunction with the
- powerful complete package of "PhotoAlbum" and "CyberShow Pro"
- (picture management and presentation programs for all Amiga
- users with at least OS3.0). Thoose programs should e.g. be
- available on Aminet:gfx/board/cybershow##.lha and
- Aminet:gfx/misc/photoalbum##.lha.
-
- -> Separate module orders are only possible for persons already
- registered for the complete package (in this case: 15DM or 10US$ per
- module, offer currently valid until 31st Dec. 1998)!
-
- Please note: The demo version loads and saves only in greyscale! Please
- pay the shareware fee to get color loading/saving...
-
- Please read the extensive documentation in AmigaGuide format for
- details about the UniversalGIO modules.
-
- The loader module currently supports the following file formats:
-
- * IFF-ILBM (all standard formats 1 to 8Bit, EHB, HAM6, HAM8, 15Bit, 24Bit)
- * PhotoCD (Base format 768x512 or 512x768 (portrait); linear 24Bit colors)
- * PPM/PGM/PBM (P1&P4 b&w, P5 grey, P6 color)
- * QRT (also known as dump format by PD raytracers as POV-Ray)
- * Targa (RLE compr.&uncompr. 1/8/15/16/24/32Bit;incl. interleaved)
- * PCX (compr.&uncompr. EGA1-4Bit, VGA 8Bit grey/Colormap and 24Bit)
- * MacPaint (b&w compressed 1Bit format; datafork only)
- * BMP (uncompr. 24Bit RGB,1Bit,4Bit or 8Bit Colormap; RLE compressed 8Bit,1Bit)
- * TIF (packbit-compr.&uncompr. 24Bit,1-8Bit grey/Color Motorola&Intel formats)
- * EGS7.x window iconification file format
- * DEEP (compr.&uncompr. 24Bit and 32Bit)
- * RGB formats (RGB8, RGBN, RGB5)
- * ACBM formats (1 to 8Bit, incl. HAM6/HAM8)
- * FBM formats (8Bit grey/color and 24Bit)
- * IFF-PBM (DPII) format
- * Sun raster (1Bit, 8Bit grey/color and 24Bit uncompressed)
- * YUV (color 1:1:1, 2:1:1, 4:1:1 and greyscale)
- * VLAB raw (color 1:1:1, 2:1:1, 4:1:1 and greyscale)
- * HHsYUVSq sequence format (sequential or random access)
- * HHsXRL formats (1-8Bit ColorMap incl. HAM6/8, 8Bit grey, 24Bit RGB compressed)
- * binary-EPS bitmaps (RGB and CMYK; this function is experimental)
- * TBCPlus frames&fields
-
- * DataType (incl. first frame of animations with Anim-Datatypes)
- New: Since version 6.0 the new 24Bit datatype interface of the V43
- picture.datatype is also supported (included with the Picasso 96 software;
- should also work with the V43 picture.datatype available for CyberGraphX,
- unless it has expired due to an integrated expiration date).
-
- DataTypes are only used as option (if selected in the "Prefs" for
- the module; see guide for details)
-
- TrueColor animation creation with HHsYUVSq GIO module
- ----------------------------
-
- New: with automatic ARexx scripts!!!
-
- The ARexx functions are only supported in Photogenics V2.0 and higher.
- With older versions of Photogenics you can't use the ARexx scripts.
-
- You can start the ARexx scripts from the Macros/Run Macro menu entry
- or start them by double clicking on their icon on Workbench. In both
- cases the directories will be asked on the Photogenics screen.
- If you want to use the scripts more often, you can install them with the
- "Install a macro" function in Photogenics to the function keys.
-
- a) Automatic animation creation from a directory of pictures with
- *** HHsMakeAnim.rx ***:
-
- HHsMakeAnim.rx will ask for a source directory and a destination file.
- You can specify a pattern in the source directory requester as
- file name (e.g. pictures.????) to load only specific files from
- the directory. This is important if there are other files (like
- icons, readmes or such) in the directory as well.
- The script will then load all pictures (or all pictures matching
- your pattern) in the source directory (in alphabetical order) and
- create/append them into the HHsYUVSq animation. Please note that
- all pictures should have the same size!
-
- b) Automatic conversion of IFF-Anims into HHsYUVSq format with
- *** HHsConvertIFFAnim.rx ***:
-
- HHsConvertIFFAnim.rx will ask for a source animation and a destination
- file. You should only specify IFF-Animations as source, as the
- Photogenics ANIM loader is used. If you want to convert animations
- from other formats (e.g. CDXL animations) you can change the script to
- use another animation loader in Photogenics.
-
- Please see documentation in .guide formats for details!
