Short: Photogenics universal loader&animation saver
Author: Helmut Hoffmann
Uploader: Helmut Hoffmann
Type: gfx/edit
Kurz: Photogenics-Univ.Lader&Anim.speichermodul
HHsFastUniversalGioModules 4.4 -> new: now with ARexx support <-
==========================
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 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 |
| * downscaled loading support (load big pictures with few memory) |
| * TrueColor animation creation saver for CyberGraphX or EGS users |
| new: ->->-> automatic TrueColor 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.
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)
DataTypes are only used as option (if selected in the "Prefs" for
the module; see below 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!
