- I have been looking for good photo-cd support on the Amiga. Does
- AsimCDFS allow you to control any aspects of the YCC->24bit conversion.
- For example can you lighten, darken, or rotate the image during the
- conversion. As you may or may not know, the photo-cd format stores
- more than 24-bits of information. If you convert to 24-bit first,
- and then lighten or darken you are loosing the extra information that
- photo-cd provides. (i.e. There are black values lower than 0,0,0 and
- light values greater than 255,255,255).
-
- Also, I noticed that AsimCDFS creates icons on the workbench for the
- images files. Is there any control over the icon creation process.
- For example can you control icon's size or palette? Will a Workbench
- screen running in 256 colors with a locked palette (all pens) produce
- good looking icons. I currently use Image-FX to produce 256 color
- icons, using it to remap to the Workbench's fixed palette. It will
- produce some very nice looking icons. How does AsimCDFS compare?
