HIGH RESOLUTION PICTURES
{[0,0,1](A)} This Guide has shown you how to make stereoscopic pictures in a certain
mode: 32-color low-resolution pictures that exhibit five shades of grey
when seen through the glasses.
But Stereopticon can now also produce 16-color high-resolution stereoscopic
pictures that exhibit four shades of grey. Here's an example: {[P09,4,7] HiRes Demo }.
If you load an 8-color high-res IFF picture with the correct palette into
Stereopticon's main interface, Stereopticon will automatically switch to
high-res mode. In the SOTemplates drawer, you'll find two 640x200 templates
for preparing your high-res planes: {[P23,4,7] HiResBlack.IFF } has a black background,
and {[P24,4,7] HiResWhite.IFF } has a white background.
Because high-res pixels are half the width of low-res pixels, the same
Stereoptic offset will produce a high-res picture with just half the
apparent depth of a comparable low-res picture. To compensate for this,
Stereopticon automatically doubles all high-res offsets.
When you're preparing a plane for a high-res Stereoptic picture, note that
color 4 is the transparent background color. If you make changes to plane J
of a completed high-res Stereoptic picture, note that the neutral colors are
0, 5, 10, and 15.
You can also use the Stereopticon Image Converter to convert many high-res
IFF images to the format and palette acceptable to Stereopticon. The
conversion code you set should begin with a zero, such as 0-23-45-67. You
can enter this code by selecting the pre-set "Remove color 0".
