Cloanto Personal Paint
This disk contains a Demo version of Personal Paint for the Amiga systems.
Functionally, the software is identical to the commercial version (it even
saves and prints), except for a pattern of "DEMO" text symbols which may
sometimes be overlaid to the image. The remaining files (pictures, color
fonts, data, Amiga system resources, etc.) have in part been reduced or
changed to fit on a single disk.
Personal Paint may be launched with a double-click on its Workbench icon,
on any Amiga with 1 Mbyte of RAM (ideally, Chip RAM). In order to fully
exploit the disk capacity, Personal Paint itself has been compressed. On
not so fast systems, decompression may slow down the initial loading of the
program. A condition of low or fragmented memory may cause the program not
to be loaded and decompressed correctly.
The "Pictures" drawer contains several 256-color images, plus examples of
color reduction, color merge and image processing entirely created with
Personal Paint. The program automatically reduces the number of colors of
an image if the computer on which it is loaded does not have an AGA
(Advanced Graphics Architecture) chip set, or an RTG (Retargetable
Graphics) compatible display board. In case of color reduction, the
"Settings/Color Remapping/Floyd-Steinberg" option usually gives the best
results.
It is very easy to explore Personal Paint by choosing from the variety of
menus and gadgets. It is recommended to make a backup copy of the program
disk before experimenting with functions which write data.
The gadgets on the tool bar which is displayed on the left of the screen
may respond differently depending on the pointer's position over the gadget
(upper or lower half), the mouse button which is used (left or right), and
the number of mouse clicks (cycle gadgets). For example, the tool to the
right of the "a" text editing symbol activates the image processing
functions. If it is selected with the right mouse button, a requester
appears to select different image processing options. The area on which
image processing is to be applied can be delimited by dragging the mouse
(i.e. moving it while the left button is held down).
The "Settings/Language" options in this version of Personal Paint can be
used to set the user interface language to either English, German or
Italian.
