formats through the use of independent external modules.
PScrapIt!
can run under either GEOS 64 or GEOS 128, in either 40 or 80 column modes- in color.
@Note:
PScrapIt!
needs 64K of VDC RAM to display the color information on the 128 in 80 columns. If you still are using a C128 with 16K,
PScrapIt!
's attempts to detect this and turn off color to prevent "bleed through" to the bitmap. However, the routine has not been tested. If this does not work, you will have to use 40-columns. If you own such a C128, please try this out for me, and report the results.

@Work Disks & Backup Copies
Like any other GEOS application,
PScrapIt!
, is very disk intensive. While a lot of care has been put into the disk access routines to prevent disasterous disk errors, disk errors do happen! You should always have a backup copy of both
PScrapIt!
@AND
your graphic data. Because
PScrapIt!
allows a lot of flexibility in the choice of application, source, and destination disk, it is not necessary to place it on the same disk as the artwork, except for Photo Scraps.

The

scribbled around the scissors. As with anyother GEOS application, there are two ways to enter
PScrapIt!
from the deskTop:
Click once on the

menu. (or press "c=" " Z".)
Double click on the

icon
@Note:
PScrapIt!
cannot be selected by double clicking on an external module.
PScrapIt!
appears, clearing the screen with a new menu bar at the top.
@Working with Photo Scraps
@from Photo Scraps
To convert from a Photo Scrap to one of the other supported formats, select the
@from
menu. The "Package" menu will drop down, displaying the resident source formats supported. Select
@"Photo Scrap"
from this menu.
At this point
PScrapIt!
will make sure the application disk is in the drive that
PScrapIt!
was originally loaded and then
PScrapIt!
will load the
@fromPhotoScrap
module. Now the "Function" menu will drop down providing a choice of dstination formats for the Photo Scrap. These choices will be discussed elsewhere in this manual.
After chosing the desired function and loading it,
PScrapIt!
will apparently pause while it determines how much of the current Photo Scrap on the application disk can be loaded into free memory. If the Photo Scrap is small the entire scrap will be compressed and stored in memory. If both color information and bitmap information will not fit, then
PScrapIt!
attempts to load the color data. This is because there is no background screen color map, and it is much shorter. Assuming the color data will fit,
PScrapIt! t
then tries to load the uncompressed scrap into memory. If it cannot then
PScrapIt!
is forced to read the bitmap from the disk. This really slows things down to a crawl. Lesson, short Photo Scraps work best with
PScrapIt!.
@Note:
PScrapIt!
cannot load the color data, then
PScrapIt!
considers the Photo Scrap to be monochrome. However, no need to worry, yet, as nothing yet creates scraps that large
Once as much of the Photo Scrap as possible is loaded,
PScrapIt!
will display the Photo Scrap to the screen, and then, if the scrap's dimensions are larger that the destination format's dimensions, or the destination format's dimensions are variable,
PScrapIt!
will provide a rectangular box, similiar to geoPaint's editing box, to allow you select the exact region you wish to convert along an 8x8 card boundary. To move the editing box you select move edit box by clicking on the "Move Box" from the upper, left corner of the edit box- just like geoPaint. If the Photo Scrap's dimensions are larger that the screen format's dimensions,
PScrapIt!
will allow scrolling through the entire Photo Scrap. Unforntunately, V1.0's scrolling routines just re-draw the screen from new cooridinates. This makes scrolling through large disk base Photo Scraps a very slow procedure provided for only the most patient among us.
After placing the edit box where you want it, press the mouse button once, to stop the movment of the edit box. If this is the right region, select it by clicking either outside the edit region or the "Finished Box" in the upper, right corner of the edit box. Now the function module will pretty much take control and convert the Photo Scrap into its new format.
@to Photo Scraps
To convert to a Photo Scrap from one of the other supported formats, select the
@from
menu. Now the ""Package" menu will drop down providing a choice of source formats for the Photo Scrap. These choices will be discussed elsewhere in this manual. After loading the package module, the "Function" menu will drop down, displaying the resident destination formats supported. Select

will make sure the application disk is in the drive that

was originally loaded and then
PScrapIt!
will load the
@toPhotoScrap
module.
After loading the desired graphic, and displaying it to the screen, and then, if the source's dimensions are larger that the dimensions of geoPaint 64's "Drawing Window",
PScrapIt!
will provide a dialog box offering three choices. If you select the "Entire" icon
PScrapIt!
converts the entire source graphic to a Photo Scrap.
PScrapIt!
uses an
AppendFile
routine to save the scrap, so the previous 32K limit is a thing of the past.
If you select the "geoPaint" icon from the dialog box,
PScrapIt!
will provide a rectangular box, similiar to geoPaint's editing box, in the dimensions of geoPaint 64's "Drawing Window" to allow you select the exact region you wish to convert along an 8x8 card boundary. To move the editing box you select move edit box by clicking on the "Move Box" from the upper, left corner of the edit box- just like geoPaint. If the source's dimensions are larger that the screen format's dimensions,
PScrapIt!
will allow scrolling through the entire source graphics. Unforntunately, V1.0's scrolling routines just re-draw the screen from new cooridinates. This makes scrolling through large source graphics, especially those disk based, a very slow procedure provided for only the most patient among us.
After placing the edit box where you want it, press the mouse button once, to stop the movement of the edit box. If this is the right region, select it by clicking either outside the edit region or the "Finished Box" in the upper, right corner of the edit box.
If you select the "Adjust" icon from the dialog box,
PScrapIt!
will provide a rectangular box, similiar to geoPaint's editing box, initially in the dimensions of geoPaint 64's "Drawing Window" to allow you select the exact region you wish to convert along an 8x8 card boundary. To move the editing box you select move edit box by clicking on the "Move Box" from the upper, left corner of the edit box- just like geoPaint. To adjust the editing box you select adjust edit box by clicking on the "Adjust Box" from the lower, rightt corner of the edit box- just like geoPaint. If the source's dimensions are larger that the screen format's dimensions,
PScrapIt!
will allow scrolling through the entire source graphics. Unforntunately, V1.0's scrolling routines just re-draw the screen from new cooridinates. This makes scrolling through large source graphics, especially those disk based, a very slow procedure provided for only the most patient among us.
After placing the edit box where you want it, press the mouse button once, to stop the movement of the edit box. If this is the right region, select it by clicking either outside the edit region or the "Finished Box" in the upper, right corner of the edit box.
Now the
@toPhotoScrap
module will take control and convert the source graphic into a Photo Scrap placing it on the application disk.
@Working with geoPaints
@from geoPaint
To convert from a geoPaint to one of the other supported formats, select the
@from
menu. The "Package" menu will drop down, displaying the resident source formats supported. Select

will make sure the application disk is in the drive that
PScrapIt!
was originally loaded and then

will load the
@fromGeoPaint
module. Now the "Function" menu will drop down providing a choice of destination formats for the geoPaint. These choices will be discussed elsewhere in this manual.
After chosing the desired function and loading it,
PScrapIt!
will present a dialog box displaying a list of geoPaint's on the currently opened disk. If needed, you can select a geoPaint on another disk or drive.
To open a geoPaint on the current disk:

You can combine swapping both drives and disk.
PScrapIt!
will then apparently pause while it loads the geoPaint's color data. Since the geoPaint bitmap will not fit into memory,
PScrapIt!
is forced to read the bitmap from the disk. This really slows things down to a crawl. Especially since
PScrapIt!
does not have enough room to buffer any of the bitmap
Once the geoPaint's color data is loaded,
PScrapIt!
will display the geoPaint to the screen, and then, if the geoPaint's dimensions are larger that the destination format's dimensions, or the destination format's dimensions are variable,
PScrapIt!
will provide a rectangular box, similiar to geoPaint's editing box, to allow you select the exact region you wish to convert along an 8x8 card boundary.

@Working with the Photo Manager
Presently
PScrapIt!
cannot directly handle graphics contained within Photo Albums. In order to access these graphics you must use the Photo Manager Desk Accesories. For this reason it is highly recommended that the proper version of the Photo Manage be place on your application disk. Once on your application disk,
PScrapIt!
will be able to access the Photo Manager just like any other desk accessory via the
@geos
menu. Once selected the procedures are the same as always.
@Note:
It has been reported that the Photo Manager can accept Photo Scraps larger than 32K, but these scraps cannot copied out. I guess a fromAlbum module will be needed to address this problem.
