Reading/storing Panel Animations
This is an operation to save onto your PC a panel animation image created by editing/modifying a source image, or to load a saved panel animation image into Image Converter.

Read Animation Images Icon
2. An dialog box opens. Navigate to the folder where the Images are stored and select the animation image to read in.
Click the Open button, and then confirm that the selected image is imported into the preview section of Image Converter.
When you read in a panel animation, you can perform operations such as:
setting effects such as brightness/contrast or setting dithering with the Effects Tab;
entering/displaying text on the panel image with the Text display Tab;
seeing how the panel image actually plays on the car audio panel.
About file extensions
Images saved as animation images have the extension .jml for still images, and the extension .jma for moving images (including animation images consisting of multiple frames cut from a still image).
Procedure to Save Panel Animation Images

Click the Save Panel Animation Images icon in the Tool bar.

A Save As dialog box opens.
Type of Files
Give a name to the panel animation image/still image created. Enter a name in the File Name column, and click the Save button to save the image.
Save Panel Animation Images and Still Images
The image to save, if consisting of multiple frames, is regarded as a moving image, or if composed of a single frame, is considered a still image. The system recognizes which files belong to which type automatically.
At the time of saving the animation, if the image is shown as a moving image (*jma) in the File Type column, it is saved as a panel animation image; if shown as a still image (*jml), it is saved as a still image.
