PMView is a viewing and editing tool for bitmapped graphics. It provides
support for systems with palette manager and deep color displays. On systems
with palette manager, PMView gives you color animation and its color optimizing
functions make sure that you always get good looking images with the best
colors possible.

PMView also has an easy-to-use slideshow feature that lets you create
slideshows just by dragging and dropping the images you want. The slideshow
controller gives you an easy way to control your slideshow while it's running.
PMView supports a variety of file formats, including GIF, TIFF, PhotoCD PRO,
and JPEG. PMView offers broader and faster support for these file formats than
many other programs do, since we wrote all PMView's code for format handling
ourselves, and did a lot of it in hand-optimized assembly.

PMView has a unique automatic thumbnailing facility that will create thumbnails
for your images. The thumbnails in the file open dialog make it possible for
you to browse through hundreds of images in minutes. You'll never again have to
load a bunch of images just because you forgot the name of the one you're
looking for.

PMView is mostly written in C++ using exeption handling. Time-critical tasks
have been hand-coded in Pentium assembly language. Throughout this product, we
have tried our hardest to provide you with the best possible performance and to
take full advantage of the features of the Pentium. Our memory and file
management routines will provide you with blazing speed and the best use of
your hardware.

PMView is dynamically multithreaded, meaning that threads will be created and
destroyed as needed. There will never be threads spinning in the background
doing nothing. We have also invented a Priority Boost system that will let you
use idle time priority without having to worry about locking up PMView or your
system.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. NEW FEATURES in PMView 0.92 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Here is a list of features that are new in PMView 0.92.

   1. Built-in Screen Capture that lets you capture a selected window, the
      interior of a window, the whole screen, or a selected area of the screen.
      PMView's screen capture includes an unique feature not found in other
      screen capture programs: PMView can capture parts of a window that lie
      outside the screen. Thus, if you use a virtual desktop program, you'll be
      able to capture the whole desktop, not only the visible part! To capture
      the desktop, select Capture->Window and left-click on the desktop. ATI
      Mach64 users: There is a bug in the Mach64 drivers shipped with OS/2 Warp
      that affects screen capture. For more information, read the Bugs section
      (or search all sections of the online help for "ATI", if you want to go
      directly to it).
   2. New command line option /SHOrtfileretry that lets you use PMView to view
      images while they're being downloaded via FTP, FTP-PM, C-Kermit, nFTP,
      LiveWire 2.2, and many other programs. (Any program should work as long
      as it permits read sharing and writes the image sequentially.) If you add
      a timeout value to this flag, you can also use it to view POV-Ray images
      while they're being rendered!
   3. TAP Support for LiveWire 3.0 and other terminal emulators that support
      LiveWire TAP. This will allow progressive display of images as they're
      downloaded. (In order to use this feature, you'll need to get the latest
      release of LiveWire. ZOC will also support TAP in a future version.)
   4. New Progressive Loading option, on by default (setting is on the
      "Loading" page in PMView's notebook). This is useful for viewing files
      while they're being downloaded or created, or for seeing file
      interlacing.
   5. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file support, read/write
   6. IFF (Electronic Arts) file support, read/write
   7. MSP (Microsoft Paint) file support, read/write
   8. Target directory for file conversions can now be specified on the
      "Directories" page in PMView's options notebook.
   9. Separate option for confirm on slideshow save
  10. Toggle visibility of Hidden Files in FOC (View->Hidden Files)
  11. Pop-up menu in the FOB directory list box that allows you to toggle
      Longnames and visibility of Hidden Directories
  12. File Revert changed to File Recall-> conditional cascade that remembers
      the last 8 files
  13. Different (remembered) view for each drive in the FOC
  14. Thumbnail creation options for saving and converting added to FOC.
  15. New, more OS/2-like mini icons in the FOB drives combo. PMView now also
      has separate icons for CD-ROM, 3.5" disk, and removable media (disk drive
      icon was used for these in PMView 0.90).
  16. GIF and TIFF-LZW are now licensed from Unisys
  17. New GIF save options: Version, Interlace, Transparency, and Background.
      These can be very helpful when creating Web pages.
  18. New JPEG save option: Progressive JPEG
  19. New TGA save options: RightToLeft, TopToBottom, and InterlaceType
  20. New TIFF save options: Compression, Photometric, and Strip size
      (Compression: [None, Packbits, CCITTRLE, CCITTFAX3, CCITTFAX4, and LZW],
      CCITTFAX3 options: [2D-Encoding, Fillbits, Uncompressed], CCITTFAX4
      options: [Uncompressed], LZW options: [Horizontal differencing
      predictor], Photometric: [White is Min, and Black is Min], Strip size:
      [4, 8, 16, and 32 kB])
  21. PNG Save options: Interlace, Histogram, Time, Transparency, and
      Background. These can be helpful when creating Web pages.

 The following bugs are fixed in PMView 0.92.

   1. File Open Container: File name edit didn't work in Detail View.
   2. PMView: The palette was not reset to system colors after quitting PMView
      under Warp.
   3. Thumbnailing: a 271x1 pixel image could crash PMView.
   4. Thumbnailing: Black/white and graylevel images with (width <= 80 pixels)
      and (height <= 80 pixels) caused PMView to generate bad thumbnails.
   5. Saving, PCX: Monochrome files were inverted when saved.
   6. Saving, TIFF: Required tag 'StripOffsets' was missing
   7. Loading, TGA: Some RLE encoded files decoded with small defects.
   8. Loading, TIFF: CCITTFAX3 Uncompressed mode images weren't supported ->
      error.
   9. Loading, TIFF: 3, 5, 6, and 7 bit images didn't load correctly
  10. Slideshow: Images were shown according to the previously selected mode
      (View/Edit). This is not correct; slideshows should always run in View
      mode.
  11. File Open/Save Dialog: "Open Filename:" entry field didn't recognize
      directories, e.g. typing 'c:\os2\' or 'c:\os2' will try to open the FILE
      'os2' instead of switching directories. A lot of other problems with this
      field have been fixed.
  12. Settings Notebook, Directory page: Empty field for load/save directory
      defaulted to root instead of the current directory.
  13. File Open Container: Image info did not display width/height/bitcount
      information for PBMPlus files (PPM,PGM,PBM)
  14. File Open Container: Image info did not display width/height/bitcount
      information for TIFF files that didn't include a 'BitsPerSample' tag.
  15. File Save Container: Thumbnail options on background menu
      (Manual/Automatic/Loading Creates, Transparent Fill) didn't have any
      effect.
  16. Undo/Redo: If you do a transformation (eg. rotate), saved the file with a
      different name and then selected undo, the file will get the name that it
      had before saving. That is, the file name change would also be undone.
      This is, of course, not correct.
  17. PMView's Title Bar: Files with LONGNAME attribute attached and a longname
      containg <CR> or <LF> did not display correctly in the title bar. (The
      filename was truncated at the first <LF>)
  18. FOB Drive Combo: Selecting a removable drive did not update its drive
      label.
  19. File Open Container: Pressing <DEL> while the container still was filling
      up would give "Cannot delete file" error messages and could crash PMView
      with SYS3175.
  20. Saving: Loading a new image while saving caused PMView to crash.
  21. Printing: Loading a new image while printing caused PMView to crash.
  22. Transformations: Loading a new image while transforming an image caused
      PMView to crash.
  23. File Save dialog and Image Info dialog, 16 color systems: Having a deep
      color image loaded when you opened the Image info Dialog or File Save
      dialog would make PMView crash with SYS3175.
  24. Saving: Exiting with the current image unsaved and answering "Yes" to
      save the image would trash the image (PMView would write an image with no
      contents).

 Other fixes and changes in PMView 0.92.

   1. Saving, BMP: When saving bitmaps in OS/2 2.x bitmap format, PMView will
      now always write the complete OS/2 2.0 64-byte header
      (BITMAPINFOHEADER2). (To save disk space, previous versions of PMView
      would truncate the header after the last used field. This is legal
      [according to IBM's documentation], but some applications [such as IBM's
      resource compiler] could not read these shorter bitmaps.)
   2. Loading, TIFF: Support for predictor added to bitcounts < 8
   3. Loading, TIFF: Support for colormapped TIFFs with incorrectly stored
      color map. (For example WAVE9.TIF on the bonuspak disc.)
   4. PMView: Behaviour of all Combos (Combinated list boxes) changed from OS/2
      standard behavior to behave as requested by PMView users. For example,
      pressing <J> in the "List Files of Type" field will now directly change
      to "JPEG" without  confirmation by <ENTER> (OS/2's default behaviour
      requires you to press <ENTER> to activate the change).
   5. File Open Container: Workaround for negative thumbnails. The option for
      this is on the "Special" page.

 -------------------------------------------------------

 There was no PMView 0.91 because an unofficial beta was illegally uploaded to
 FTP-sites as 'PMVIEW91.ZIP'.

 -------------------------------------------------------

 Here is a list of features that were new in PMView 0.90.

   1. The shareware (unregistered) version is now fully functional. You can now
      test all the features before registering (except the ability to turn off
      the logo).
   2. There is a new dialog for file saves. In addition to being able to save
      BMP files and PMView slideshows, you can now save a bitmap using GIF,
      JPEG, PCX, PIC, TGA, TIFF, or PBMPlus (PBM, PGM, and PPM) formats. (And
      BMPs can now be saved in OS/2 1.x, OS/2 2.x, or Windows 3.x format).
   3. There is fully context-sensitive online help (just hit F1).
   4. There is a new Convert to-> command on the File Open and Save popup
      menus. This makes it convenient to batch convert images as a background
      task.
   5. You can now print! You can print an image across multiple pages, adjust
      gamma for your printer, set up your printer, set up your page margins
      using millimeters, inches, or percentages.
   6. There are new filters, including user-definable filters. NOTE: The filter
      file format will change significantly in the next release of PMView, so
      you should be prepared.
   7. There is a palette editor, so that you can change the palette entries on
      non-deep-color images.
   8. You can now drag a rectangular area to cut, crop, or paste. An optional
      Track Info dialog box tells you the exact size and location of the
      selected area, and lets you type in a new location or size.
   9. There is new support for reading and writing PBMPlus files (PBM, PGM, and
      PPM).
  10. Kodak Photo CD PRO files (6144x4096) can now be read.
  11. There is support for more TIFF formats: FAX3/2D, FAX4, and Thunderscan
      compressions.
  12. There is a completely new multithreaded method for painting the PMView
      window. This usually requires 3-4 times less RAM(!) than the old method
      and lets PMView display arbitrarily large bitmaps. (The old method used a
      shadow bitmap and would have required approximately 120MB of virtual
      memory to display a 40MB TIFF file. This is, in fact, more than OS/2 PM
      can handle; trying to use a bitmap this large usually makes the system
      hang. With the new method, you can display the same bitmap with 45MB of
      free virtual memory.) However, since the new method may be slower on
      certain display drivers, the old method is available as an option in the
      settings notebook. Additionally, you can set an image-size threshold to
      choose between display methods depending on the image you want to view.
  13. The new Edit mode allows you to load, view, and save images with more
      colors than you can display. (View mode discards extra colors to save
      memory, speed painting, and give the best display quality for your screen
      mode.)
  14. Dithering (to the screen or when reducing colors) is now multithreaded.
  15. Long file name support has been improved. PMView now displays the long
      file name in the title bar and in all info dialogs. PMView also handles
      the .LONGNAME extended attribute in full. So, for instance, you can copy
      an image from an HPFS drive to a FAT drive (using the Drives object), and
      PMView will display the long file name. It also means you can give your
      images arbitrarily long names, even on FAT drives, and PMView (and OS/2's
      drive object) will display these names. (Note that OS/2's DIR command and
      many other programs will not display the long names.)
  16. If you wish, PMView can display physical file names instead of Long File
      Names.
  17. Support for 16-color systems has been improved. You can choose from a
      variety of optional fixed palettes and dithering methods.
  18. Support has been improved for 256 color systems without palette manager.
      You can choose from a variety of optional fixed palettes and dithering
      methods.
  19. There is a new Solarize special effect.
  20. You can now adjust Gamma for your screen. This can be very useful when
      displaying images created on other computer systems (which often look too
      dark or too bright).
  21. You can reduce to black/white, 16 colors, or 256 colors. (The last
      command includes an option to let you choose any number of colors between
      0 and 256.)
  22. The new "complete" Undo/Redo works on any operation that has modified the
      image.
  23. The bulky old progress bar has been replaced by an animated clock mouse
      pointer. This saves screen space, RAM, and time.
  24. You can now see color adjustments (brightness/contrast, gamma, etc.) in
      real-time on systems with deep color or without palette manager!
  25. All the transform functions have been enhanced. The clock pointer will
      show your progress, and you can cancel the operation at any time by
      pressing ESC.
  26. Transform functions now run in idle-time (with priority boost).
  27. Priority boost has been enhanced to be less sensitive to "CPU hogs" once
      the process has started. (Previous versions of PMView could boost load
      priority unnecessarily due to a temporary "CPU hog".)
  28. There are new command-line options. For instance, /WPOS lets you control
      the initial size and position (including Z-order!) of PMView's window.
  29. There are new pages in the options notebook. The Confirmations page lets
      you choose whether to be warned when deleting files, discarding changes,
      or stopping a batch conversion. The Logo page (disabled on the
      unregistered version) lets you select how long to display the opening
      logo (or you can turn it off). And, by popular demand, a second page has
      been added to the Slideshow page of the options notebook, so you can set
      the defaults for new slides.
  30. PMView can now interpolate pixels when resizing or rotating images. This
      is a little slower, but the results look much better.
  31. The File Open Container and Slideshow Container will now "auto scroll"
      when you keep the left mouse button pressed and move outside the
      container. This is very handy for selecting multiple files.
  32. PMView has better support for national language conventions. For
      instance, PMView will sort the names in the File Open box correctly
      according to the country selected in OS/2. Dates, times, and numbers will
      be displayed in the way that you have configured OS/2.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. File Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The File menu lets you transfer files from/to disk or to delete the current
image or run a slideshow.

     Open is used to load an image from disk or to browse your images and
      create/delete thumbnails.

     Recall will revert to the file on disk, which means any changes you had
      made to it (or your view of it) are lost. Recall also lets you recall one
      of 8 recently loaded files.

     Save will save the current image to disk. The image will be written to a
      file with the same file name, format, and options that were used when the
      file was last saved.

     Save As lets you save the file with a different name, in another file
      format, or with different save options.

     Delete will delete the currently displayed

     Close will close the current image or slideshow.

     Capture will let you capture the whole screen or selected parts of it.

     Print will print the currently displayed image.

     Print Setup lets you select which printer to use, and its job properties
      (e.g., the page orientation).

     Page Setup lets you alter page settings (e.g., the size of the paper and
      the margins).

     Exit will quit PMView and returns you to OS/2.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> New ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.1. Open ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This opens the File Open Dialog that lets you load an image from disk, browse
your images and create/delete thumbnails.

The shortcut key for Open is Ctrl+O.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.2. Recall ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will let you revert to the current file on disk, or recall previously
loaded files. The 8 most recently loaded files are listed and can directly be
recalled by selecting the corresponding file. Note that you can revert to the
current file by a single click on Recall, i.e. you don't need to open the
Recall menu and select from the list.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.3. Save ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This saves the current file to disk. The image (or slideshow) will be written
to a file with the same file name, format and options that were used when the
file was last saved.

The shortcut key for Save is Ctrl+S.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.4. Save As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This saves the file with a different name, in another file format or change any
of the save options.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.5. Delete ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This deletes the currently displayed image from disk.

Note:  PMView will ask for file delete confirmation in accordance with the
       setting on the Confirmations page in PMView's Options Notebook.

The shortcut key for Delete is Ctrl+D.

Warning: This command is irreversible.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Confirm Deletion ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You're about to delete the file you're currently viewing.

     Select Yes to proceed and delete the file.
     Select No if you want to keep the file.

 Warning: This command is irreversible.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.6. Close ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will close the current image or slideshow.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.7. Capture ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This is PMView's built-in Screen Capture feature that lets you capture a
selected window, the interior of a window, the whole screen, or a selected area
of the screen.

     Window lets you select a window and capture it completely with frame.

     Window Interior lets you select a window and capture it without frame.

     Screen will capture the current screen.

     Area of Screen lets you select and capture a part of the screen.

     Hide Windows lets you toggle whether you want PMView's windows to be
      included or not.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.7.1. Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will let you capture a window including its borders, title-bar and menu
bar. Click the left mouse button to select window. Clicking the right mouse
button or pressing ESC will cancel the capture.

Use the Hide Windows option to select whether PMView should be hidden during
capture. If this option is on, PMView and its windows will be hidden, thus
making it easier for you to select the window to capture. However, if you would
like to capture one of PMView's windows this option must be turned off.

Note that PMView is capable of capturing parts of a window that lie outside the
screen. Thus, if you use a virtual desktop program, you'll be able to capture
the whole desktop, not only the visible part! To capture the desktop, please
use the Window capture method and left-click on the desktop.

and menu bar will not be included. Click the left mouse button to select
window. Clicking the right mouse button or pressing ESC will cancel the
capture.

Use the Hide Windows option to select whether PMView should be hidden during
capture. If this option is on, PMView and its windows will be hidden, thus
making it easier for you to select the window to capture. However, if you would
like to capture one of PMView's windows this option must be turned off.

Note that PMView is capable of capturing parts of a window that lie outside the
screen. Thus, if you use a virtual desktop program, you'll be able to capture
the whole desktop, not only the visible part! To capture the desktop, please
use the Window capture method and left-click on the desktop.

Note:  If the captured window belongs to a Win-OS/2 application the result is
       unpredictable. Please use the Window capture type when capturing
       Win-OS/2 applications.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.7.5. Hide Windows ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use this option to select whether PMView should be hidden during capture or
not.

If on, PMView and its windows will be hidden, thus making it easier for you to
select the window to capture. If off, PMView and its windows will not be hidden
and you will be able to capture one of PMView's windows.

Tip: You can make a 'contact sheet' by turning this option off and capturing
PMView's File Open Container.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Confirm Capture ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The area of the window you selected for capturing is more than twice as large
as the screen area. Capturing it requires a lot of memory. Please confirm that
you really want to capture this window.

     Select Ok to proceed and capture the window.
     Select Cancel to cancel the capture.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.8. Print ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The shortcut key for Exit is Ctrl+X.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2. Mode Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Mode menu sets the function mode of PMView

     View This will set PMView into View mode, that is, PMView will convert
      the image to look as good as possible on your display. The image data may
      be converted, thus you should not use this mode if you have intended to
      save the image to disk. For instance, loading a deep color image on a
      256-color system will reduce the number of colors to 256 colors. If you
      now save this image in View mode important color information may be lost!
      We recommend that you always use Edit mode when saving files.

     Edit This will set PMView into Edit mode. In this mode PMView never
      converts the image. Full color information of the original image will be
      retained. If your display adapter cannot display all color information in
      the image, PMView will use dithering when showing the image. Use Edit
      mode when saving files.

     Slideshow This will set PMView into Slideshow mode.

 Note:  The two first options are replaced by one single option on deep color
 systems since these systems are capable of showing colors correctly, thus
 dithering is not needed.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.9. How to mark a selection ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To mark a selection, hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to size
the rectangle. Afterwards, if you would like to move the selection rectangle
you can point with the mouse somewhere inside the selected area, hold down the
left mouse button and move. If you would like to resize the selection, you can
grab any of the eight handles and move the selected edge. The four handles at
the corners enables toy to move two edges at the same time. The four handles at
the center of the edges lets you move only the selected edge.

If you need to make a very precise selection you can zoom into the image with
any of the Zoom functions.

Use the Track Info dialog to view the coordinates and size of the selected
area.

You can cancel the selection by pressing Esc


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.10. Track Info dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      Using the Track Info dialog you can set and view the coordinates and size
      of the selected area.

      The coordinates of the four corners of the selected area are indicated in
      the format (x,y). The origin (0,0) is at the lower-left corner. At the
      bottom of the dialog the size of the selected area is indicated as (width
      x height). Below the size is the transformation angle.

      Use the Left,Right,Upper, and Lower controls to adjust the edges of the
      selection.

      Example on how to use the tracking rectangle to measure angles

      Below, we have an image of the number seven. The number has been rotated
      by an unknown amount. In order to be able to turn it back again, we need
      to know the angle. The angle can be measured by positioning the tracking
      rectangle (selection area) as illustrated below.

      Now you can read the angle directly from the Track Info dialog. In this
      case we would need to rotate the image by 35 degrees to the right in
      order to turn it back. Note that the angle depends on how you measure,
      sometimes you may need to calculate your angle as 90 degrees minus the
      angle indicated by PMView.

 Note:  If you're pasting a selection you cannot resize the area, thus the
        upper setting will follow the lower setting, the right will follow the
        left and vice versa.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4. Transform Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Transform menu are used to change the pixel orientation
and size of an image.

     Mirror lets you mirror the image horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

     Rotate lets you rotate the image to the left, right, upside down or by a
      specified angle.

     Size lets you change the size of the image or stretch it in either
      direction.

     Filter lets you apply a user defined filter to the image.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.1. Mirror ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Mirror menu are used to perform various mirror operations
on the image data.

     Horizontal reverses (mirrors) left and right on the image.

     Vertical reverses (flips) top and bottom on the image.

     Diagonal turns the image upside down.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.1.1. Horizontal ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This reverses left and right on the image. If you had an image of a left
parenthesis, it would look like a right parenthesis. This effect is often
referred to as mirroring.

Example of horizontal mirroring:

                               The original bitmap
                                    Mirrored


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.1.2. Vertical ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This reverses top and bottom on the image. If you had an image of a big "M," it
would look like the image of a big "W." This effect is often referred to as
flipping.

Note:  Vertical mirroring is not the same as turning the image upside down.

Example of vertical mirroring:

                               The original bitmap
                                     Flipped


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.1.3. Diagonal ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This transforms left to right and top to bottom simultaneously, which is the
same as turning the image upside down. If you had an image of an arrow pointing
northeast, it would now point southwest. The effect is identical to a 180┬░
rotation.

Example of diagonal mirroring:

                               The original bitmap
                               Diagonally mirrored


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.2. Rotate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Rotate menu are used to perform various rotation
operations on the image data.

     90┬░ ClockWise rotates the image by 90 degrees to the right.

     90┬░ CounterClockWise rotates the image by 90 degrees to the left.

     180┬░ Upside Down rotates the image by 180 degrees.

     Arbitrary Angle opens a control that lets you rotate the image by a
      specified angle.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.2.1. 90┬░ ClockWise ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This turns the image 90 degrees to the right. An arrow that pointed up would
now point right.

Example of 90┬░ clockwise rotation:

                               The original bitmap
                       Rotated to the right by 90 degrees


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.2.2. 90┬░ CounterClockWise ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This turns the image 90 degrees to the left. An arrow that pointed up would now
point left.

Example of 90┬░ counterclockwise rotation:

                               The original bitmap
                        Rotated to the left by 90 degrees


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.2.3. 180┬░ Upside Down ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This rotates the image 180 degrees, that is turns it upside down. If you had an
image of an arrow pointing northeast, it would now point southwest. The effect
is identical to diagonal mirroring.

Example of 180┬░ rotation:

                               The original bitmap
                             Rotated by 180 degrees


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.2.4. Arbitrary Angle ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This lets you rotate the image by an arbitrary angle. Positive values rotate to
the right (clockwise) and negative values to the left (counterclockwise). For
example, if you enter "27," your image will be rotated 27 degrees to the right,
"-27" would rotate it 27 degrees to the left.

Interpolate pixels If checked, the pixels in the new image will be calculated
using a pixel average method. Using interpolation is much slower, but gives a
far better result. Rotating an image without interpolation may cause aliasing
effects. For example, the image below has been rotated without interpolation.
You may notice that the rotation has caused Monalisa's left eye to disappear.
This would not have occured if interpolation had been used. Note that the image
will be converted to RGB deep color when interpolation is used.

Example of 45┬░ rotation:

                               The original bitmap
                              Rotated by 45 degrees


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.3. Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This lets you change the actual size of the image.

     Size Select either Custom size, Desktop size or one of the fixed sizes
      your image should get.

        -  Custom This will let you specify the size using the Custom Size
           controls.
        -  Desktop This will resize the image to fit your desktop.
        -  640x480 This will make the image 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels
           high.
        -  800x600 This will make the image 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels
           high.
        -  1024x768 This will make the image 1024 pixels wide and 768 pixels
           high.
        -  1280x1024 This will make the image 1280 pixels wide and 1024 pixels
           high.

     Custom Size If Custom is selected, these controls are enabled and you can
      specify the new size of the image in pixels or percentage (%).

     Keep Proportional If checked, the new image will keep the same
      proportions as the original; the width will automatically change as you
      change the height and vice versa. However, if you uncheck it, it is
      possible for you to alter the proportions. For instance, if you size an
      image of a circle by 150% width and 110% height the circle will no longer
      be a circle but an ellipse. This effect is often referred to as
      stretching.

     Interpolate pixels If checked, the pixels in the new image will be
      calculated using a pixel average method. Using interpolation is much
      slower, but gives a far better result. For instance, if you enlarge an
      image by a factor of four (400%), 4x4 pixel squares may be visible if no
      interpolation is used. Reducing an image in size without interpolation
      may cause aliasing effects. Note that the image will be converted to RGB
      deep color when interpolation is used.

 Examples of sizing and stretching:

                               The original bitmap
                       Sized by 200% width and 200% height
                     Stretched by 200% width and 100% height


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.4. Filter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This opens the Select Filter dialog.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Select Filter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This lets you apply a filter on your image.

     OK applies the currently selected filter on the image.

     Cancel exits without changes to the image.

     New lets you create a new filter.

     Edit lets you edit the currently selected filter.

     Delete deletes the currently selected filter.

 Related information:

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Edit Filter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This dialog lets you edit your own filter. Note that you can only edit filters
that are smaller than or equal to 7x7 with PMView's built-in filter editor. If
you need a larger filter PMView sure can apply it to your image, but you'll
need to edit it with a separate (standard) ASCII-editor.

     Filter Name The name of the filter.

     Filter Weights The matrix of filter weights.

     Divisor This is the number that the sum of the pixels in the weight
      matrix are divided with. Note that the filter size should always be
      uneven, i.e. the filters that can be edited with this editor are 3x3,
      3x5, 3x7, 5x3, 5x5, 5x7, 7x3, 7x5, and 7x7 (larger filters must be edited
      separately as stated above). Empty fields will automatically be filled
      with zero (0).

     Bias This number will be added to the resulting value once the weight and
      division factors have been applied. 100% bias corresponds to a bias value
      of 255.

     Absolute value If on, the pixel values will be clamped as x = min (255,
      abs (x)). If off, the pixel values will be clamped as x = min (255, max
      (0, x)).

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Invalid filter dimension ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The filter size should always be uneven, i.e. the filters that can be edited
with PMView's internal filter editor are 3x3, 3x5, 3x7, 5x3, 5x5, 5x7, 7x3,
7x5, and 7x7 (larger filters must be edited with a separate (standard)
ASCII-editor.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Filter too large ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can only edit filters that are smaller than or equal to 7x7 with PMView's
built-in filter editor. You'll need to edit this filter with a separate
(standard) ASCII-editor.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5. Color Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Color menu are used to change the colors or shades of an
image.

     Brightness/Contrast/Color opens a control that lets you adjust the
      brightness, contrast, and color of your image.

     RGB Balance opens a control that lets you adjust the relative strengths
      of red, green, and blue in your image.

     Gamma Correction opens a control that lets you adjust the gamma value of
      your image.

     Solarize will apply the Solarize effect to your image and opens a control
      that lets you adjust the solarization threshold.

     Negative inverts the colors in your image.

     Convert to converts the colors in your image.

 Note:  If you're handling images with more than 256 colors these adjustments
 may take a while, since every pixel in the bitmap must be remapped. In order
 to obtain smooth operation a system with palette manager should be used.

     Example of using the color adjustment tools.
     Example of creating an OS/2 background bitmap.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.1. Brightness/Contrast/Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These controls let you adjust the brightness, contrast, and color of your
image. Brightness and contrast work pretty much the way they do on most TV
sets. Color lets you adjust how much color appears in the image (some TV sets
have this control).

If you change your mind later, you can come back to this control and press the
Reset button. This will return you to your original settings for brightness,
contrast, and saturation.

     Brightness adjusts the brightness, i.e. amount of light in your image.

     Contrast adjusts the contrast of your image. Images that exhibit low
      contrast can sometimes be visually enhanced by increasing the contrast.

     Color adjusts the color strength of your image. If you turn the color all
      the way down (-100%), you'll get a black-and-white image. This control
      will be disabled if grayscale is turned on.

 Note:  If you're handling images with more than 256 colors, you should adjust
 color last. This is because the other adjustments take twice as long when
 color has been moved away from 0% under those circumstances.

 Related information:

     Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.2. RGB Balance ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These controls let you adjust the relative strengths of red, green, and blue in
your image.

If you change your mind later, you can come back to this control and press the
Reset button. This will return you to your original settings for red, green,
and blue.

     Red adjusts the amount of red in your image.

     Green adjusts the amount of green in your image.

     Blue adjusts the amount of blue in your image.

 Related information:

     Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.3. Gamma Correction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This contol allows you to apply a gamma correction value to the colors of an
image to correct for the difference in gamma levels between the computer's
monitor and the equipment that originally produced the image.

Your images may come from many different sources. Some of these sources do not
use the same gamma values as your computer's monitor. As a result, your image's
colors may not be correct; for instance, the dark areas of your image may be
far too dark, but the bright areas may be about correct. This problem can be
fixed by applying gamma correction.

An example of an image that may need a gamma correction would be an image that
was scanned by a scanner.  Scanners use different gamma values than computer
monitors.

An example of an image that should not need gamma correction would be an image
that was produced with a painting program.  Since the colors of the image were
selected on a computer monitor, your monitor should be able to represent the
original colors.

     Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.4. Solarize ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This control lets you add a solarization effect and adjust the solarization
threshold.

The solarization effect is generated by selectively inverting pixels below or
above a specified threshold level.

     Threshold Set the brightness level above or below which pixel data is
      inverted. For instance, if this is set to 127 and the mode is set to
      Brighten, all pixels that have a value below 128 are inverted. Pixels
      with a value above or equal to 128 are left unchanged.

     Mode

        -  Darken Pixel values above the threshold level are inverted.
        -  Brighten Pixel values below the threshold level are inverted.

     Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.5. Negative ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

If you turn this option on, you will see a negative of your image; for example,
black pixels will become white. Select it again to turn it off.

Related information:

     Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.6. Edit Palette ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This control lets you edit each palette slot in the palette associated with the
current image. Deep color images don't have a palette and the Edit Palette
option is thus disabled. In this case you can use the Convert to option to
convert the image to 256 colors or fewer.

Select the color you would like to edit by clicking on the desired color slot.
The slots are ordered from left to right, top to bottom with the first slot at
the top left corner. The palette slots are arranged in order of frequency. The
first slot contain the color that has the highest frequency (is most used) in
the image. The last slot (bottom right) has the lowest frequency.

If the image has fewer than 256 colors the empty palette slots are disabled
(indicated by a diagonal line pattern). These empty slots cannot be edited.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.7. Convert to ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Convert to menu are used to change the number of colors or
shades of an image.

     Black/White will convert your image to black and white.

     Grayscale will convert your image to shades of gray.

     Indexed 16-Color will open a dialog that lets you reduce the number of
      colors in the image to a maximum of 16 distinct colors.

     Indexed 256-Color will open a dialog that lets you reduce the number of
      colors in the image to a maximum of 256 distinct colors.

     RGB Deep Color will convert your image to 24-bit deep color.

 Related information:

     Example of creating an OS/2 background bitmap.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.7.1. Black/White ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will convert your image to a black and white image.

Use the threshold control to set the treshold. A threshold setting of 128 means
that pixels with values equal to and larger than 128 will be white.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.7.2. Grayscale ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will convert your image to shades of gray.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.7.3. Indexed 16-Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      This will reduce the number of colors in the image to a maximum of 16
      distinct colors.

      Palette

          Adaptive This will select the 16 best colors for the image. The
           palette generated for the image is optimized and unique for this
           image.
          System This will only use the 16 fixed colors in OS/2's system
           palette. The palette for the image is fixed. Images converted to
           system palette will all have the same palette.
          2-2-2 levels This will use a standard 2-2-2 level palette, that is,
           a palette with 2 intensity levels for each color component
           (Red,Green,Blue), thus the image will be reduced to a maximum of 8
           colors.

      Dither

          None The colors will be selected on best match basis. The color
           error is not compensated.
          Ordered Ordered dithering is used to compensate the error. Ordered
           dithering can only be used with the 2-2-2 level palette.
          Diffusion Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion dithering is used to
           compensate the color error.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.7.4. Indexed 256-Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      This will reduce the number of colors in the image to a maximum of 256
      distinct colors.

      Palette

          Adaptive This will select the 256 best colors for the image. The
           palette generated for the image is optimized and unique for this
           image.
          System This will use the 256 fixed colors in OS/2's system palette.
           The palette for the image is fixed. Images converted to system
           palette will all have the same palette.
          8-8-4 levels This will use the vaunted 3-3-2 bits fixed palette,
           that is, a palette with 8 intensity levels for the Red and Green
           components and 4 levels for Blue. This palette was used in the 2.x
           versions of Microsoft Windows.
          6-7-6 levels This will use a 6-7-6 level fixed palette, that is, a
           palette with 6 intensity levels for the Red and Blue component and 7
           levels for Green, thus the image will be reduced to a maximum of 252
           colors.
          6-6-6 levels This will use a 6-6-6 level fixed palette, that is, a
           palette with 6 intensity levels for each color component
           (Red,Green,Blue), thus the image will be reduced to a maximum of 216
           colors. This palette is well suited for systems with palette manager
           since the Palette Manager works best if the palette contains no more
           than 236 color entries.

      Dither

          None The colors will be selected on best match basis. The color
           error is not compensated.
          Ordered Ordered dithering is used to compensate the error. Ordered
           dithering can only be used with R-G-B level palettes.
          Diffusion Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion dithering is used to
           compensate the color error.

          Maximum Error This sets the maximum accumulated error for the
           Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion dithering. Decreasing the maximum
           error will suppress dithering and vice versa. Real-life images
           generally look better with a high setting, whereas computer
           generated images (images with large areas of equal shade) look
           better with a low setting.

      Number of colors

           If you have selected Adaptive Palette this will let you select the
           maximum number of distinct colors in the image.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.7.5. RGB Deep Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will convert your image to 24-bit deep color. Some image manipulation
functions may requre that the image is converted.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.8. Example of creating an OS/2 background bitmap ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

All bitmaps that the OS/2 workplace shell displays will use OS/2's fixed system
palette unless you have a system configuration that supports deep color On deep
color systems any bitmap will look good and doesn't need futher conversion.

When selecting colors from the system palette, OS/2 uses a best fit color
matching algorithm. Color errors are not compensated and the result is often a
poor-looking image unless the colors happen to match well. By converting your
bitmap to OS/2's system palette using a more sophisticated method (e.g. error
diffusion dithering) you can produce a much better-looking image and OS/2 will
display it correctly since the bitmap will only possess colors found in the
OS/2 palette, thus no color errors will occur when it is displayed.

On 256 color systems with palette manager only 16 colors are fixed. The other
240 will change when an application uses the palette manager. In this case you
may want to use only 16 colors for your background bitmaps in order to keep
them good-looking all the time.

      Example of creating an OS/2 background bitmap

      First choose method:

          If your system has fewer than 256 colors, use Method #2
          If your system don't have palette manager, use Method #1
          If it is important that the background bitmap looks good also when
           an application that uses palette manager is running, use Method #2
          If you want the best possible colors, use Method #1
          If you just want a background bitmap and the issues above are not of
           importance, try Method #2. If the result isn't satisfactory, use
           Method #1

      Then apply the selected method:

      Method #1 - Convert to 256 colors

        1. Select Convert to Indexed 256-Color from the Color menu.
        2. Set Palette to System.
        3. Set Dither to Diffusion.
        4. Press OK

      Method #2 - Convert to 16 colors

        1. Select Convert to Indexed 16-Color from the Color menu.
        2. Set Palette to System.
        3. Set Dither to Diffusion.
        4. Press OK


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.9. Example of using the color adjustment tools ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Example of using the color adjustments to produce an old looking black and
white photography from a color image:

     Load a color image of your choise.
     Convert to grayscale. You'll now have a black and white image.
     Adjust the red and green controls to approx. +8% each. This will add a
      slight shade of yellow to your image to produce that old look.
     Finally you can adjust brightness and contrast to match your personal
      taste.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6. View Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The first four functions in the View menu change how you see the image, but

     Thumbnails...


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.1.1. View ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This determines how images are shown in the File Open Container.

     Normal Lets the user select one of the Normal view modes. In Normal
      modes, PMView reads information from each image before displaying the
      image in the File Open Container.

        -  Text Only PMView will display filenames only (no icons or
           thumbnails).
        -  Icon PMView will display a standard-sized OS/2 icon.
        -  Thumbnail PMView will display an 80x80 thumbnail for each file.

     Quick Switches to Quick mode. In quick mode, PMView gets image file
      information from OS/2 rather than from the image file itself. This is
      fast, but only filenames, sizes, dates, and times can be loaded in this
      way.

     Non-text Images are shown as icons (or thumbnails) without any text
      (filename) displayed.

     Non-grid Images are displayed with filenames under their icons (or
      thumbnails). Images are "packed" as closely as possible.

     Flowed Images are displayed in rows.

     Non-flowed Images are displayed in a single column.

     Detail All available information is displayed for each image.

     Longnames If on, the LONGNAME attribute attached to the file's extended
      attribute will be displayed. If off, the physical file name will be
      displayed. For example, a file named "MyTestFile.GIF" will have a
      physical file name of e.g. "MYTESTFI.GIF" if the file system is FAT.
      Normally you'll never need to turn off this option.

     Hidden Files If on, PMView will show files that have the HIDDEN system
      attribute set. If off, PMView will not show files that are hidden.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.1.2. Refresh ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This command will refresh the view of the files in the File Open Container. You
may need this in case you've added or deleted files in another session.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.1.3. Select ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

     Select all This command selects all the images in the File Open
      Container.

     Deselect all This command unselects all the images in the File Open
      Container, that is, it makes sure nothing is selected.

     Sticky select If off, you must do Ctrl+click to add an image to the
      selection. If on, you need only click.

      The shortcut key for Select all is Ctrl+/.
      The shortcut key for Deselect all is Ctrl+\.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.1.4. Sort ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These options choose how you want files sorted in the File Open Container. By
default, files are sorted by name and in increasing order. The following
choises are available:

     Name Images are sorted by filename.
     Type Images are sorted by file type (i.e., file extension)
     Image format Images are sorted by actual image format. (The image's
      filename extension is ignored, except to break ties as in the note
      below.) Not available in Quick view.
     Image Size Images are sorted by how many pixels they take up, that is, by
      their width times their height. Not available in Quick view.
     Image Depth Images are sorted by how many colors their particular format
      can support (e.g. 16-color GIFs precede 256-color GIFs). Not available in
      Quick view.
     File Size Images are sorted by how much disk space they take up.
     Date and Time Images are sorted by their date and time stamps, from
      oldest to newest
     Descending Order If selected, images are sorted and then displayed in
      reverse order.

      Note:  If two images compare the same on the primary sort, PMView will
      "break ties" by comparing their filenames (including extensions). So, for
      instance, if you sort by File Size, and two files have the same size,
      those two will be sorted alphabetically by filename.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.1.5. Scramble ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This randomly re-orders images in the File Open Container.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.1.6. Thumbnails ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These commands determine thumbnail options:

     Manual Create If selected, thumbnails are created (and deleted) only when
      the user right-clicks on them.

     Automatic Create If selected, then PMView will create a thumbnail for
      every image in every directory that it enters.

     Loading Creates If selected, PMView will create a thumbnail when it loads
      an image.

     Saving Creates If selected, PMView will create a thumbnail when it saves
      an image.

     Converting Creates If selected, PMView will create a thumbnail when it
      converts an image.

     Transparent Fill If selected, thumbnails will be created with transparent
      "backgrounds." Otherwise, they will be created with black backgrounds.

You can also change the font in the File Open Container by dragging a font from
OS/2's Font Palette. Note that each view mode have its own font. This means
that you can have different fonts eg. for detail view and normal view.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1.4. File Open Container Q&A ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This section answers some common questions we have gotten on PMView's File Open
Container and points out some non-obvious features. You should also refer to
the general on-line help on the File Open Container for a complete reference to
commands.

 Q.  What is the File Open Container (FOC) ?

 A.  The FOC is the large, initially white, rectangular area in the lower-left
     corner of PMView's File Open dialog. To see the File Open dialog, either
     select File Open or type Ctrl+O.

     The FOC is a standard container, which means that you change its view,
     drag and drop things to and from it, and resize it. (To do the last,
     resize the dialog and the FOC will also be resized.) You can also display
     a popup menu for the FOC and for each image inside it. Finally, you can
     rename an image by Alt+clicking on the filename (or on the thumbnail, in
     Non-Text view).

 Q.  How do I bring up the FOC pop-up menu?

 A.  The usual way: Right-click inside the container but not on one of the
     images. A menu will pop up. If the top item on the menu is Open, then you
     have the menu for one of the images; try again in another location.

     If you are in Flowed view, try right-clicking under the bottom row of
     icons. If you are in Detail view, right-click on one of the column
     headings, e.g., on top of the word "Name." Again, this is all as usual.

 Q.  When I display the FOC, all I see is a bunch of squares that say "No
     Thumbnail Available". Why?

 A.  By default, the FOC opens in Normal, Non-grid, Thumbnail view. When you
     start out, PMView hasn't created any thumbnails yet.

 Q.  How can I create a thumbnail?

 A.  Right-click on one of your images, preferably a small one. Click
     Thumbnail. (If you hit the arrow to the right of Thumbnail, then click
     Create.) The thumbnail will change to say "Creating Thumbnail." After a
     few seconds (or minutes, depending on how big the image is and whether you
     have other things tying up your computer), you will see a graphical
     thumbnail. Pretty nifty, huh?

     When PMView creates a thumbnail, it is attached to the file's extended
     attributes. Thus, if you move or copy the file, the thumbnail goes with
     it. PMView also creates a standard OS/2 icon at the same time. You can see
     the icon by switching the FOC View to Normal Icon mode (see below) or by
     looking at the image with a drives object. Since it is a standard OS/2
     icon, you can do the usual things with it, e.g., set another object's icon
     by dropping your image onto that other object's notebook.

     Note that the thumbnail and icon may take up to 10,000 bytes. Make sure
     that you don't accidentally fill up your hard drive with thumbnails!

 Q.  How can I make thumbnails for all my images?

 A.  As with any other container, you can select all the images in the FOC by
     typing Ctrl+/, and then right-click on one of the images and select
     Thumbnail. PMView will split off threads to make thumbnails for all your
     images.

     A simpler way is to bring up the FOC popup menu (not the menu for one of
     the images), click Thumbnails, and click Automatic create. When PMView is
     in Automatic create mode, it will split off threads to make thumbnails for
     every image in the directories that you enter.

 Q.  What are the other options under Thumbnails in the FOC popup menu?

 A.  "Manual create" means that PMView won't make any thumbnails automatically;
     you'll have to make them all by hand. This is the default.

     "Automatic create" is as it says under the previous question; PMView will
     automatically split off threads to make thumbnails for the images in every
     directory that you enter.

     "Loading creates" means that PMView will create a thumbnail for an image
     when it loads that image. (This is my personal preference.)

     The last option, "Transparent Fill," determines what the "background"
     areas of a thumbnail should look like. Suppose you have a tall, thin
     image. Thumbnails are square, so the left and right edges of the thumbnail
     should take some sort of "background" color. If Transparent Fill is on,
     PMView will create thumbnails with a transparent background. Otherwise,
     the thumbnail backgrounds will be created black.

 Q.  How do I select more than one image?

 A.  The usual ways: You can drag a rectangular area, and all the images that
     touch the rectangle will be selected. (If you try to drag the rectangle
     "outside" the FOC, the FOC will automatically scroll.) Or you can click on
     the first image you want and Ctrl+click on the second and subsequent ones.
     Or if you want to select a bunch of images in order, you can click on the
     first one, then shift-click on the last one, and all the images between
     them will get selected. Or you can type Ctrl+/ to select all the images in
     the current directory.

     There's also one other "unusual" way: If you don't like having to hold
     down Ctrl, then bring up the FOC popup, click Select, and click Sticky
     select. While sticky select is on, you don't need to hold down Ctrl to add
     images to the selection. (To unselect while you're in sticky mode, click
     the image a second time.)

 Q.  I don't like those huge thumbnails. What are my other choices?

 A.  Bring up the FOC popup and click View. Now click the arrow to the right of
     Normal. You can choose to view Thumbnails, standard OS/2 icons, or text
     only. If you prefer the last,you might consider using Quick view.

 Q.  Why is PMView so slow at putting images into the FOC? How can I speed it
     up?

 A.  In Normal View mode, PMView has to load a lot of information for each
     image before it adds it to the FOC. It has to load the thumbnail and
     standard icon for each image. It also reads enough of the image to check
     its actual image format (as opposed to its filename extension) and its
     color depth (ie, how many colors the image could possibly have). It loads
     all this information in case you change to Detail view, or want to sort
     based on this info.

     If you don't need this info, try Quick view instead. In the Quick views,
     you can only see (and sort on) file names, sizes, dates, and times. But if
     that's all you want, Quick view is the way to go, especially on slow
     drives (such as CD-ROMs).

 Q.  Whew! What are all those View choices?

 A.  The best way to figure out the Views is to experiment, and to look at
     on-line documentation under "File Open Container."

 Q.  How can I sort images?

 A.  Bring up the FOC popup menu and click Sort. By default, PMView sorts by
     filenames. If you want to change this default, click the arrow to the
     right of Sort and pick the sort type you want. Note that some types of
     sorts are not available in Quick mode. For details on the sort options,
     check the on-line documentation.

 Q.  Is there any way I can randomly rearrange the images?

 A.  Use the Scramble command on the FOC popup. Each time you use it, PMView
     randomly rearranges the images in the FOC.

 Q.  Is there anything else on the FOC popup?

 A.  Yes -- the Refresh command. This rereads the current directory and updates
     the FOC display. Images will be sorted using the currently-selected
     method. Use Refresh if you're using another OS/2 program (or session) to
     add (or change) images.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.2. Open File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This entry field has several functions:

     Retrieve a file by name.
     Change the current drive and/or directory.
     Change the file filter.

 For instance, to get a list of GIF files that start with RAY, enter RAY*.GIF

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Bitmap Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves Bitmap files.

     Bitmap Type

        -  OS/2 2.x This will save the file with a header that is compatible
           with OS/2 version 2.x and Windows 3.x. RLE encoding will be used for
           4, 8 and 24 bit images and 1 bit images will be Huffman 1D encoded.
        -  OS/2 1.x This will save the file with a header that is compatible
           with OS/2 version 1.x and 2.x. Encoding will not be used.
        -  Windows  This will save the file with a header that is compatible
           with OS/2 version 2.x and Windows 3.x. RLE encoding will only be
           used for 4 and 8 bit images.

     Use RLE/Huffman1D Encoding If set, PMView will RLE or Huffman1D encode
      the bitmap if the format you have selected supports encoding. Note that
      this usually only is suitable for images with large areas of the same
      color.

 Note:  The OS/2 2.x and Windows options are interchangeable if encoding isn't
 used, i.e. if Use RLE/Huffman1D Encoding is disabled.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> IFF Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves IFF files.

     Use Packbits encoding If on, the image will be compressed using Packbits
      encoding.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> GIF Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves GIF files.

     Always Write GIF89a Format If on, the file will always be written in the
      newer GIF89a format. If off, the file will be written in GIF87a format,
      unless the Transparent Color Index option is used. The GIF89a format has
      a new color table flag that specifies whether the color table is sorted
      or not. If you know that the target application can take advantage of
      this information, you may turn on this option and the sort flag will be
      set (PMView always keeps the palette sorted). The flag will not be set
      for GIF87a files in order to preserve compability with older applications
      that (erroneously) will not accept GIF87a files with the sort flag set.

     Interlace If on, the image will be saved using 4-pass interlacing. If
      off, the image will be saved sequentially in one pass. Using interlacing
      only makes sense with programs that progressively update the display
      while loading. For instance, when loading an interlaced GIF file the
      image will gradually be displayed during four passes. At the end of the
      first pass each eighth row of the image is visible. Already at this point
      of loading you'll probably see what the image looks like. With each pass
      the image quality will gradually improve as missing lines are added.

     Transparent Color Index If on, transparency information will be written
      to the GIF file. Use this option if you would like one of the colors in
      your image to be transparent with the background. Typically you'll need
      this if you make images for WWW-browsers. Note that transparency
      information requires the newer GIF-variant; GIF89a. Thus, if this option
      is on, the file will be written in the GIF89a format instead of GIF87a.
      Note that PMView will not use transparency information when loading GIF
      files.

     Background Color Index If on, the specified background color index will
      be written to the GIF file. Use this option if the target application
      fills unused space with the color specified in the GIF file. Typically
      may need this if you make images for WWW-browsers. If off, index zero (0)
      will be written to the file (in PMView index zero will always correspond
      to the most used color in the image). Note that PMView will not use this
      information when loading GIF files.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> JPEG Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves JPEG files.

     Quality This control lets you trade off compressed file size against
      quality of the reconstructed image: the higher the quality setting, the
      larger the JPEG file, and the closer the output image will be to the
      original input.  Normally you want to use the lowest quality setting
      (smallest file) that decompresses into something visually
      indistinguishable from the original image. For this purpose the quality
      setting should be between 50 and 95; the default of 75 is often about
      right. If you see defects at 75, then go up 5 or 10 counts at a time
      until you are happy with the output image. The optimal setting will vary
      from one image to another.

     Smooth This control lets you select a smoothing factor for filtering the
      input to eliminate fine-scale noise. This is often useful when converting
      GIF files to JPEG: a moderate smoothing factor of 10 to 50 gets rid of
      dithering patterns in the input file, resulting in a smaller JPEG file
      and a better-looking image.  Too large a smoothing factor will visibly
      blur the image, however.

     Optimize Entropy Encoding This option selects whether to perform
      optimization of entropy encoding parameters or not. Without this, default
      encoding parameters are used. Using this option usually makes the JPEG
      file a little smaller, but PMView saves the file somewhat slower and
      needs much more memory. Image quality and speed of decompression are
      unaffected by this option.

     Progressive JPEG This option creates a "progressive JPEG" file. In this
      type of JPEG file, the data is stored in multiple scans of increasing
      quality. If the file is being transmitted over a slow communications
      link, the decoder can use the first scan to display a low-quality image
      very quickly, and can then improve the display with each subsequent scan.
      The final image is exactly equivalent to a standard JPEG file of the same
      quality setting, and the total file size is about the same --- often a
      little smaller. CAUTION: progressive JPEG is not yet widely implemented,
      so many decoders will be unable to view a progressive JPEG file at all.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> PC Paint/Pictor Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves PC Paint/Pictor files.

     EGA Palette If set, PMView will save PIC files with an EGA style palette
      (3 * 2 bits). Since the EGA palette only supports four intensities for
      each color channel, this may result in color errors. Use this option if
      the target application only understand EGA palettes. When using this
      option, you can get better colors by converting to 16 system colors with
      dithering before saving. If off, PMView will save files using the VGA
      palette (18 bits).

 Note:  This option is ignored if the image you're saving has more than 16
 colors.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> PBMPLus Portable Bitmap Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves PBM files.

     Raw data If set, PMView will save PBM files in raw data format.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> PBMPLus Portable Graymap Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves PGM files.

     Raw data If set, PMView will save PGM files in raw data format.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> PBMPLus Portable Pixmap Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves PPM files.

     Raw data If set, PMView will save PPM files in raw data format.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> PNG Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves PNG files.

     Adam7 Interlace If on, the image will be saved using Adam7 interlacing
      (7-pass). If off, the image will be saved sequentially in one pass. Using
      interlacing only makes sense with programs that progressively update the
      display while loading. For instance, when loading an interlaced PNG file
      the image resolution will gradually increase during seven passes.
      Interlacing slightly expands the file size on average, but it gives the
      user a meaningful display much more rapidly. Interlacing is for instance
      useful when transferring images over slow transmission lines (eg.
      modems), however note that is isn't a good idea to use interlacing if you
      don't need it since it may slow down normal loading from disk by a factor
      of two or three due to the high load caused by seven painting passes over
      the image.

     Write Histogram Chunk [hIST] If on, a histogram chunk [hIST] will be
      written to the PNG file. The histogram chunk gives the usage frequency of
      each color in the palette. If a viewer is unable to provide all the
      colors listed in the palette, the histogram may help it decide how to
      choose a subset of the colors for display. You may need this option if
      you know that the target application can make use of the hIST chunk if
      present. PMView will not use this chunk (PMView builds its own histogram
      during loading).

     Write Time Chunk [tIME] If on, a last modification time chunk [tIME] will
      be written to the PNG file. Note that the written time is local time.

     Write Transparency Chunk [tRNS] If on, a transparency chunk [tRNS] will
      be written to the PNG file. Use this option if you would like one of the
      colors in your image to be transparent with the background. Typically
      you'll need this if you make images for WWW-browsers. Note that viewers
      are not bound to honor this information. PMView does not use this
      information when loading PNG files.

     Write Background Chunk [bKGD] If on, a background chunk [bKGD] will be
      written to the PNG file. Use this option if you would like to specify a
      suggested background color. Typically may need this if you make images
      for WWW-browsers. Note that viewers are not bound to honor this
      information; a viewer may choose to use a different background color.
      PMView does not use this information when loading PNG files.

     Transparency - Colormapped Images The index of the palette entry that is
      to be treated as transparent for Colormapped images. For Grayscale images
      this is the gray level of of the pixels that are to be treated as
      transparent.

     Transparency - RGB Images The RGB color value of the pixels that are to
      be treated as transparent for RGB deep color images.

     Background - Colormapped Images The index of the palette entry that is to
      be used as background color for Colormapped images. For Grayscale images
      this is the gray level that is to be used as background color.

     Background - RGB Images The RGB color value of the color that is to be
      used as background color.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Truevision TGA Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves TGA files.

     Use Run Length Encoding (RLE) If set, PMView will run length encode the
      image data. Note that this usually only is suitable for images with large
      areas of the same color.

     Store from Bottom to Top (Flip) If set, PMView will store the TGA file
      starting with the bottom line. You may need this if the target
      application don't use the orientation information in the TGA file header
      and displays the image upside down. For general compability, leave this
      option off.

     Store from Right to Left (Mirror) If set, PMView will store lines in the
      TGA file from right to left. You may need this if the target application
      don't use the orientation information in the TGA file header and displays
      a mirror image. For general compability, leave this option off.

     Interlace Type This will select the interlace type, i.e. the ordering of
      image data in the file. Interlacing will only make sense with programs
      that progressively update the display while loading. For instance, when
      loading a 4-pass interlaced file each fourth row will be displayed during
      four passes. At the end of the first pass each fourth row of the image is
      visible. Already at this point of loading you'll probably see what the
      image looks like. With each pass the image quality will gradually improve
      as missing lines are added. Interlacing does not increase file size.
      Note: Many programs that read TGA files ignore the interlace option bits
      and incorrectly displays the image as two or four compressed images
      stacked one after the other. Don't use interlacing unless you know that
      the target application is able to use it

        -  No Interlace (1-pass) The image will not be interlaced.
        -  Each Second Row (2-pass) The image will be interlaced in two passes.
        -  Each Fourth Row (4-pass) The image will be interlaced in four
           passes.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> TIFF Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options determine how PMView saves TIFF files.

     Compression - Bilevel Images This lets you choose compression method for
      Bilevel (Black/White) images.

        -  None No compression is used
        -  Packbits Use Apple Macintosh PackBits compression scheme
        -  LZW Use LZW adaptive compression scheme
        -  CCITT RLE Use Modified Huffman encoding scheme (CCITT Group 3 1D)
        -  CCITT FAX3 Use CCITT Group 3 facsimile encoding scheme
        -  CCITT FAX4 Use CCITT Group 4 facsimile encoding scheme

     Compression - Color Images This lets you choose compression method for
      Color images.

        -  None No compression is used
        -  Packbits Use Apple Macintosh PackBits compression scheme
        -  LZW Use LZW adaptive compression scheme

     Photometric This setting applies only to Bilevel and Grayscale images.
      You may want to alter this setting if the target application displays
      your image as a negative.

        -  White is Zero 0 is imaged as white. 2^BitsPerSample-1 is imaged as
           black.
        -  Black is Zero 0 is imaged as black. 2^BitsPerSample-1 is imaged as
           white.

     LZW Differencing Predictor This setting applies only if LZW compression
      is used. Applying a predictor may greatly improve compression ratios for
      some images.

     Strip Size In order to optimize compression for non-bilevel images,
      select 32kB for Strip Size and use horizontal differencing. For
      compability with other applications, select 8kB for Strip Size and don't
      use differencing

     Byte Ordering This setting determines the byte ordering used when saving
      TIFF files. If IBM PC is selected, Intel byte ordering will be used, i.e.
      the least significant byte is stored first. If Macintosh is selected,
      Motorola byte ordering will be used, i.e. the most significant byte is
      stored first. Select the byte ordering used by the target system.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.1. File Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This is essentially a copy of the File Menu from the main menu bar. You can use
either File from the menu bar or File here to do things like switch between
image and slideshow modes, open new files, save the current file and exit
PMView.

The File menu lets you transfer files from/to disk or to delete the current
image or run a slideshow.

     Open is used to load an image from disk or to browse your images and
      create/delete thumbnails.

     Recall will revert to the file on disk, which means any changes you had
      made to it (or your view of it) are lost. Recall also lets you recall one
      of 8 recently loaded files.

     Save will save the current image to disk. The image will be written to a
      file with the same file name, format and options that were used when the
      file was last saved.

     Save As is used if you would like to save the file with a different name,
      in another file format or change any of the save options.

     Delete will delete the currently displayed

     Close will close the current slideshow. image.

     Exit will quit PMView and returns you to OS/2.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.2. Mode Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Mode menu sets the function mode of PMView

     View This will set PMView into View mode, that is, PMView will convert
      the image to look as good as possible on your display. The image data may
      be converted, thus you should not use this mode if you have intended to
      save the image to disk. For instance, loading a deep color image on a
      256-color system will reduce the number of colors to 256 colors. If you
      now save this image in View mode important color information may be lost!
      We recommend that you always use Edit mode when saving files.

     Edit This will set PMView into Edit mode. In this mode PMView never
      converts the image. Full color information of the original image will be
      retained. If your display adapter cannot display all color information in
      the image, PMView will use dithering when showing the image. Use Edit
      mode when saving files.

     Slideshow This will set PMView into Slideshow mode.

 Note:  The two first options are replaced by one single option on deep color
 systems since these systems are capable of showing colors correctly, thus
 dithering is not needed.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.3. View Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The first four functions in the View menu change how you see the image, but
don't actually change the image itself. The rest change your PMView options.

     Zoom lets you zoom in or out on your image.

     Full Screen makes PMView use the whole desktop.

     Fit Image sizes the window to fit the image.

     Refresh redraws the image in the window.

     Show Menu toggles the menu bar.

     Show Controller toggles the slideshow controller.

     Options opens a notebook that lets you control PMView's many options.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.4. Help Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Help menu are used to get on-line help and various
information on your system and image.

     Help Contents brings up the help contents list

     General Help gives you a brief description of PMView.

     Help for Keys gives you information on PMView's shortcut keys.

     Using Help gives you information on how to use the help facility

     Image Information gives you various statistics about your current image.

     System Information gives information on your system's current status.

     About PMView displays product information about PMView.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.5. View Slides ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This determines how images are shown in the Slideshow Container.

     Normal Lets the user select one of the Normal view modes. In Normal
      modes, PMView reads information from each image before displaying the
      image in the Slideshow Container.

        -  Text Only PMView will display filenames only (no icon or thumbnail).
        -  Icon PMView will display a standard-sized OS/2 icon.
        -  Thumbnail PMView will display a thumbnail for each file.

     Quick Switches to Quick mode. In quick mode, PMView gets image file
      information from OS/2 rather than from the image file itself. This is
      fast, but only filenames, sizes, dates, and times can be loaded in this
      way.

     Non-text Images are shown as icons (or thumbnails) without any text
      (filename) displayed.

     Non-grid Images are dispalyed with filenames under their icons (or
      thumbnails). Images are "packed" as closely as possible.

     Flowed Images are displayed in rows.

     Non-flowed Images are displayed in a single column.

     Detail All available information is displayed for each image.

     Longnames If on, the LONGNAME attribute attached to the file's extended
      attribute will be displayed. If off, the physical file name will be
      displayed. For example, a file named "MyTestFile.GIF" will have a
      physical file name of e.g. "MYTESTFI.GIF" if the file system is FAT.
      Normally you'll never need to turn off this option.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.6. Refresh ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This command will refresh the view of the files in the Slideshow Container. You
may need this in case you've added or deleted files in another session.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.7. Select ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

     Select all This command selects all the images in the Slideshow
      Container.

     Deselect all This command unselects all the images in the Slideshow
      Container, that is, it makes sure nothing is selected.

     Sticky select If off, you must do Ctrl+click to add an image to the
      selection. If on, you need only click.

      The shortcut key for Select all is Ctrl+/.
      The shortcut key for Deselect all is Ctrl+\.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.8. Sort ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These options choose how you want files sorted in the Slideshow Container. By
default, files are sorted by name and in increasing order. The following
choises are available:

     Name Images are sorted by filename.
     Location Images are sorted by their full path, that is, their location on
      disk.
     Type Images are sorted by file type (i.e., file extension)
     Image format Images are sorted by actual image format. (The image's
      filename extension is ignored, except to break ties as in the note
      below.) Not available in Quick view.
     Image Size Images are sorted by how many pixels they take up, that is, by
      their width times their height. Not available in Quick view.
     Image Depth Images are sorted by how many colors their particular format
      can support (e.g. 16-color GIFs precede 256-color GIFs). Not available in
      Quick view.
     File Size Images are sorted by how much disk space they take up.
     Date and Time Images are sorted by their date and time stamps, from
      oldest to newest
     Descending Order If selected, images are sorted and then displayed in
      reverse order.

      Note:  If two images compare the same on the primary sort, PMView will
      "break ties" by comparing their filenames (including extensions). So, for
      instance, if you sort by File Size, and two files have the same size,
      those two will be sorted alphabetically by filename.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1.1.9. Scramble ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.4. Slideshow Q&A ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This answers most of the questions we've been asked about slideshows. If you
run PMView and try each question in order, you can also learn how to use most
of PMView's slideshow features.

 Q.  How do I create a slideshow?

 A.  Select Mode->Slideshow to take you to slideshow mode. Select File Open,
     and drag the files you want to PMView's main window.

     In fact, you can skip the Mode->Slideshow. If you drag more than one file
     at once to PMView's main window, it will take you to slideshow mode (if
     you aren't there already) and add these files to the slideshow.

 Q.  How can I change the order of the slides?

 A.  Drag them around. If you drop one slide on top of another, it will be
     inserted directly after that slide. (Moving a slide to the beginning of
     the slideshow takes two steps: First, drop it on the first slide. Second,
     drop the first slide on it.)

 Q.  How do I run a slideshow?

 A.  Choose Run from the slideshow's popup menu, or type Ctrl+R.

     (To get to the slideshow's popup menu, right-click in a blank area of the
     main window. While you're in slideshow mode, the main window is a
     container, just like the OS/2 desktop or a folder.)

     By default, the slideshow will run full screen, and the slideshow
     controller will be visible. You will have to move to the next slide
     manually, by either pressing the right arrow key, clicking the right mouse
     button, or pressing the PLAY button on the slideshow controller.

 Q.  How can I hide or unhide the slideshow controller?

 A.  During the slideshow, type Ctrl+C to toggle the controller's visibility.
     Of course, you can also click the hide button on the controller to make it
     invisible.

     To start with a hidden slideshow controller, right click in the main
     window, then unselect View->Show Controller.

 Q.  How can I quit the slideshow?

 A.  You can click your middle mouse button (if you don't have one, you can
     click both left and right buttons simultaneously). Or you can hit your Esc
     key. If the controller's visible, you can click the STOP button.

 Q.  How can I save the slideshow?

 A.  Choose File Save (or File Save as).

     Slideshows are saved with an extension of *.SHW. Note that a slideshow is
     a plain ASCII text file, so that you can edit it with your favorite
     editor. The only restriction is that you may not modify the first line; it
     has to be left exactly as is, or PMView won't recognize the slideshow
     properly.

 Q.  What if I don't want to run the slideshow full screen?

 A.  Right-click in the main window, then click View-> and select Options. This
     takes you to the options notebook. Go to the slideshow page and turn off
     Run Fullscreen.

     During the slideshow, you can toggle in and out of Fullscreen mode by
     typing F3, or left double-clicking on the image.

 Q.  What if I don't want to have to move to the second slide manually?

 A.  Right-click on the first slide to bring up its popup menu. Click Settings.
     In the group that says, "Advance to next image," choose "Automatically
     after" and specify a number of seconds. Then, when you run the slideshow,
     PMView will move to the second slide after that many seconds.

 Q.  What if I don't want to have to move to the third slide manually?

 A.  Right-click on the second slide to bring up its popup menu, then follow
     the instructions above.

 Q.  Hey! If I want each slide to stay on for 5 seconds, do I have to change
     every slide by hand??

 A.  You can, but there's an easier way. Think WPS. Set up the first slide for
     five seconds. Select all the other slides (you can type Ctrl+/ to do
     this). Right-click on the first slide, then choose Copy Settings (don't
     click on the arrow). Choose OK, and all the slides will now be automatic
     with a 5-second delay.

     What if you only want a 5-second delay on the first, third, and fifth
     slide? Set up the first, select the third and fifth (via Ctrl+left click,
     as with any other container) and right-click the first slide's Copy
     Settings command.

 Q.  What are the other settings for a slide?

 A.  The "Notes" option lets you type notes about the slide. These notes will
     be saved when you save the slideshow.

     If you select Display Notes, your note will be displayed in a window while
     that slide is shown.

     You can copy any or all of these settings by selecting Copy Settings, as
     explained in the previous question. To choose which settings get copied,
     click on the arrow to the right of the word Settings, and select the
     settings you want to copy. (This is much easier to do than say.)

 Q.  What are the other commands for a slide?

 A.  Remove will take the slide out of the slideshow. Run (on a slide, not on
     the main window background) will let you "run" just that slide (to check
     its note, for example).

 Q.  Getting back to slideshows, what options are available for them?

 A.  Under the Options menu, we have

         Show Menu This toggles whether the menu bar will be visible or not.
          You can also type Ctrl+B

         Show Controller This toggles whether the controller will be visible
          at the start of the slideshow. You can use Ctrl+C to hide and show
          the controller.

         Run Fullscreen If on, each slide will be drawn Fullscreen. If off,
          each slide will be drawn in the PMView window (in which case, the
          settings on the Window page of PMView's main Options notebook will be
          used).

         Run Continuously If on, the slideshow will "wrap around" if you try
          to go past either end. (For example, if you reach the last slide and
          press the right arrow, PMView will go back to the first slide.)
          Otherwise, PMView's slideshow will end if you go forward from the
          last slide (or backward from the first slide).

         Swap Mouse Buttons If on, then the left mouse button will move
          forward a slide and the right mouse button will move backwards. Some
          people prefer this.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Options Notebook ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PMView's Options Notebook lets you control PMView's many options.

     Full Screen...
     Window...

     Confirmations...
     Logo...


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.1. View ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

     Center image if it is smaller than window If set, PMView will draw an
      image that's smaller than its window in the center of the window. If not
      set, PMView will draw the image in the upper left corner.

     Zoom image to fit window If set, then whenever you load an image or
      resize PMView's window, PMView will zoom the image so that it fits
      perfectly either horizontally or vertically in the window. Otherwise, the
      image will always be drawn at "actual size" until you use a Zoom command.
      All zooming in PMView is proportional; circles will always stay circles.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.2. Full Screen ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

     Center image if it is smaller than screen If set, PMView will center the
      image when drawing in Full Screen Mode. Othewise, the image will be drawn
      in the upper left corner of the screen.

     Zoom image if it is larger than screen If set, PMView will zoom out so
      that your image will fit onscreen, if necessary. Zooming is done
      proportionally.

     Zoom image if it is smaller than screen If set, PMView will zoom in so
      that your image will reach completely across the screen either vertically
      or horizontally. Again, zooming is proportional.

     Hide mouse pointer If set, PMView will initially hide the mouse pointer
      when you enter Full Screen mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.3. Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      Automatically adjust window size and position

          When loading a new image If set, PMView will automatically adjust
           the window's size and position to display newly-loaded images at
           actual size.

          When editing or zooming If set, PMView will adjust the window's size
           and position if it's appropriate during an edit or zoom operation.
           For instance, if you take a tall, narrow image and rotate it, it
           will become a short, wide image. If this option is set, PMView's
           window will resize (and possibly move) accordingly. Otherwise, you
           might get a horizontal scroll bar and some blank space in your
           window.

      Automatically adjust window position

          Never
          When required
          Always move to upper left corner

      If you pick the first option, the upper left corner of PMView's window
      will never budge. If you pick the second option, PMView will leave the
      upper left corner in place unless moving it a short distance will let you
      see your whole image. Then it will move. Finally, "Always move to upper
      left corner" means that your window will move to the upper left corner of
      your screen every time you hit F4 (or load a new image, if the first
      option on this page is checked).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.4. Loading ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      Startup options

          Startup minimized (iconized)
          Normal
          Full Screen each loaded image automatically

      If you pick the first option, PMView will start up minimized when you
      first load it. The second option will make it start up with the size of
      the image you specify on the command line (or the size it was when it
      last closed). (To make it do this every time it loads an image, select
      "When loading a new image" on the window page.) The last option will make
      PMView go into Full Screen mode every time it loads an image.

      (Why would you want to start up PMView iconified? Suppose you have
      associations set in OS/2 so that whenever you double-click on the name of
      a GIF file, it starts up PMView automatically. It's quite convenient to
      be able to double-click on several GIF files and have each one appear as
      an icon at the bottom of your screen, so you can pick which ones to look
      at after they're done loading.

      Loading options

      Progressive Loading If on, PMView will clear its window immediately when
      an image is being loaded and the image will be shown incrementally during
      the loading. If off, PMView will retain any previous image until the
      image has been fully loaded and not display the new image until PMView
      has finished loading it.

      Note that progressive loading won't start immediately when loding high
      resolution Photo-CD formats (1536x1024 and above). For instance,
      1536x1024 must load 50% before progressive painting can begin.

      Show Progress Indicator This options decide the visibility of the
      progress indicator, that sliding bar that some people love and some
      people hate.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.5. Directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

On this page you can type the paths for the default directories

     Default Load Directory This is the directory where PMView will initially
      go the first time you do a File Open. If this field is empty, the current
      directory will be used.

     Default Save Directory This is the place where PMView will save files by
      default. If this field is empty, files will be saved in the current
      directory.

     Default Convert Directory This is the place where PMView will put
      converted files. If this field is empty, converted files will be put in
      the current directory.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.6. Extensions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This page is allows you to change the ordering, lettering, or comments on the
extensions that PMView loads. For instance, if you're running HPFS and use the
extension .JPEG for your JPEG files, you can type JPEG in the Extension field,
type My JPEGs in the description field, and click Ok >>. Then whenever you do a
File Open, PMView will also display files with the extension of *.JPEG. What's
more My JPEGs will appear in the List Files of Type list. And if you enter
PMVIEW filename at an OS/2 prompt, PMView will be able to add the .JPEG
extension automatically.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.7. Palette ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The following options configures how PMView uses the palette manager. Of
course, if you don't have palette manager support, the following options won't
be available.

     Use palette manager If on, PMView will use the palette manager to display
      images.

     Blank window before changing the palette If on, PMView will clear the
      window before changing the palette, e.g. when a new image is loaded. If
      off, the window won't be cleared and color noise may appear when loading
      a new image. You may want to turn off this option if you have a sequence
      of images (slideshow) that uses the same palette and the blanking between
      the images is inappropriate.

     Override system colors in Full Screen mode If on, PMView will use all 256
      colors in Full Screen mode, rather than letting OS/2 reserve 20 for the
      user interface.

      These options determine how PMView will reduce the number of colors when
      loading an image.

      Palette

          Adaptive This will select the best colors for the image.
          System This will only use colors in OS/2's system palette.
          8-8-4 levels This will use the vaunted 3-3-2 bits fixed palette,
           that is, a palette with 8 intensity levels for the Red and Green
           components and 4 levels for Blue.
          6-7-6 levels This will use a 6-7-6 level fixed palette, that is, a
           palette with 6 intensity levels for the Red and Blue component and 7
           levels for Green.
          6-6-6 levels This will use a 6-6-6 level fixed palette, that is, a
           palette with 6 intensity levels for each color component, thus the
           image will be reduced to a maximum of 216 colors. This palette is
           well suited for systems with palette manager since the Palette
           Manager works best if the palette contains no more than 236 color
           entries.

      Dither

          None The colors will be selected on best match basis. The color
           error is not compensated.
          Ordered Ordered dithering is used to compensate the error. Ordered
           dithering can only be used with R-G-B level palettes.
          Diffusion Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion dithering is used to
           compensate the color error.

          Maximum Error This sets the maximum accumulated error for the
           Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion dithering. Decreasing the maximum
           error will suppress dithering and vice versa. Real-life images
           generally look better with a high setting, whereas computer
           generated images (images with large areas of equal shade) look
           better with a low setting.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.9. Photo CD ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      These options are for use with Photo CD images.

          3072 x 2048
          6144 x 4096

      Photo CD images actually store five copies of each picture, one for each
      resolution above. You should select the resolution you want by default.
      Photo CD PRO images additionally store a sixth resolution (6144x4096).
      Beware! The larger Photo CD resolutions will need a lot of memory to
      load.

     Ask for resolution before loading image If on, PMView will ask you which
      resolution you want before you load a Photo CD image.

 Note:  The default resolution will always be used in a slideshow. In case the
 selected default resolution is 6144 x 4096 and the image is not a Photo CD PRO
 image, then the best available resolution (3072 x 2048) will be used instead.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.10. Slideshow ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      This lets you configure the different settings for slideshows.

      Page 1 - Slideshow Settings

     Run Fullscreen If on, each slide will be drawn Fullscreen. If off, each
      slide will be drawn in the PMView window (in which case, the settings on
      the Window page of PMView's main Options notebook will be used).

     Run Continuously If on, the slideshow will "wrap around" if you try to go
      past either end. (For example, if you reach the last slide and press the
      right arrow, PMView will go back to the first slide.) Otherwise, PMView's
      slideshow will end if you go forward from the last slide (or backward
      from the first slide).

     Run Scrambled If on, the slides will be scrambled when you start the
      slideshow. The order will be restored when the slideshow is stopped, thus
      the slideshow won't be modified.

     Swap Mouse Buttons If on, then the left mouse button will move forward a
      slide and the right mouse button will move backwards.

      Page 2 - Default Slide Settings

     Advance to next image These controls will let you set the default timer
      settings that are copied to a new slide. Look at the help for the Slide
      Settings Dialog for more information on these options.

     Display Notes This control will let you set the default Display Notes
      setting that is copied to a new slide. Look at the help for the Slide
      Settings Dialog for more information on this option.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.11. Special ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

     Use idle time priority If on, PMView will use the lowest priority in OS/2
      when it loads and saves files and during image transformations. In PMView
      versions before 0.86, this could be a problem because if you were running
      a "greedy" OS/2 or DOS program that required lots of CPU power to run,
      PMView could get "stuck" and never finish loading. But one of the major
      advances in PMView 0.86 is a clever system that will "boost" PMView's
      priority if PMView hasn't accomplished anything for two seconds. If you
      are continually running greedy programs and hate waiting the extra two
      seconds, you may want to disable idle-time loading. Otherwise, we
      recommend that you leave it on.

     Use GpiDrawBits If on, PMView will use the OS/2 function GpiDrawBits when
      painting. This function will send the image data straight to the display
      driver, thus this gives you the best performance. If off, PMView will
      first create a temporary bitmap from the image data, then use the OS/2
      function WinDrawBitmap to draw it and then destroy the bitmap. This is a
      workaround for driver bugs.

 Due to bugs/limitations in some display drivers this option is off by default,
 however we recommend that you try enabling Use GpiDrawBits and leave it on if
 it is possible. If PMView won't work correctly, you may want to contact IBM to
 get a newer display driver that works with GpiDrawBits.

     Use Shadow Bitmap If on, PMView will create a shadow bitmap in memory.
      This will make PMView's painting very fast. However, this will use much
      more RAM. For instance, if your image is a true color (24-bit) image with
      a size of 1024 x 1024 pixels, the image "raw" data will require 3 MB.
      Without shadow bitmap PMView will only need some hundred kilobytes to
      paint the image. However, if creating a shadow bitmap, the OS/2
      Presentation Manager additionally needs a memory amount that equals two
      to three times the size of the "raw" data, in this case 3MB + (2..3) *
      3MB. Thus the display of the image may require up to 12 MB ! Another
      problem is that the OS/2 Presentation Manager cannot cope with very large
      bitmaps (more than 20 MB may cause PM to crash). This is why we have the
      threshold setting described below. We recommend that you only enable this
      option if you feel that the painting otherwise is too slow (don't forget
      to try turning on Use GpiDrawBits first).

 Use the threshold setting to set the size of the largest image for which a
 shadow bitmap should be used. We recommend that you should keep this below
 20,480 (or below the installed amount of RAM divided by three) in order to
 keep your system stable.

 Note that a shadow bitmap will not be used when PMView needs to dither your
 image.

 Warning! Turning on this option causes PMView to violate the CUA standard for
 a well-behaved multithreaded application. PMView may block the message queue
 for a longer period than 0.1 seconds when creating the shadow bitmap. THIS
 OPTION MUST NOT BE USED IN SYSTEMS RUNNING TIME-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS!

     Negative Thumbnails Use this option if the thumbnails in the FOC are
      displayed as negatives. This may occur due to a bug in your display
      driver.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.12. Confirmations ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

     Confirm on file delete If on, PMView will always ask you to confirm the
      deletion of a file. If off, PMView will boldly delete files without
      nagging.

     Ask whether to save changed images If on, PMView will ask you whether you
      would like to save changed images before exiting or not. If off, PMView
      will discard your changes to an image without asking when exiting PMView.

     Ask whether to save changed slideshows If on, PMView will ask you whether
      you would like to save slideshows before exiting or not. If off, PMView
      will discard unsaved slideshows without asking when exiting PMView.

     Ask whether to continue converting files If on, PMView will check with
      you whether it is okay or not to abort the conversion of files. If off,
      PMView will stop the conversion of files without asking when quitting
      PMView or closing the file open or file save dialog.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.13. Logo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This option applies only to registered users, since it is not possible to turn
off the logo (About) dialog in the unregistered version of PMView.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. File Formats ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

All code for handling the file formats supported in PMView has been written
completely from scratch. Therefore, we are proud to be able of providing full
technical support on all of the formats below and enhance support for a
specific format when needed (for instance, the TIFF format). If PMView fails to
load a file that you need, please contact us so we can try to support your
file's format in our next release.

Formats that can be read:

     Bitmap (BMP,DIB,RLE)...
     Electronic Arts IFF (IFF)...
     Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)...

 Note:  The Kodak Photo-CD format cannot be saved, since saving files in this
        format is not legally permitted by Kodak Corporation. (Currently no
        other programs, with the exception of Kodak's own programs, allows this
        to be done).

 The TIFF and GIF LZW compression/decompression included in this software are
 licensed under U.S. Patent No. 4,558,302 and foreign counterparts.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.1. Bitmap (BMP,DIB,RLE) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      The bitmap format was introduced in the early 1.1 version of OS/2. Later,
      Microsoft Corp. enhanced the format and included it in its best selling
      operating environment: Microsoft Windows 3.0. In OS/2 2.0 IBM further
      extended the format by adding some fields and by defining a structure for
      storing multiple bitmaps in the same file (this type of file is often
      referred to as a bitmap array). Although we have put much effort into
      making PMView save files with all the possible bitmap compression
      schemes, we discourage you from using it since the PNG or JPEG format
      normally will give you much smaller files.

      The RLE extension is sometimes used for compressed bitmap files under
      Windows. Another common extension is DIB. None of these two extensions
      are normally used under OS/2. BMP is the default extension for bitmap
      files.

      Since the native operating systems for this file format are exclusively
      DOS and OS/2, the BMP format is not recommended as a generalized format
      for image exchange. We recommend that you use PNG, TIFF or JPEG for this
      purpose.

      PMView Support

      PMView will read all types of OS/2 and Windows bitmaps. For now, only the
      first image in a bitmap array will be displayed.

      Technical Information

      The following bitmap types are supported:

        1. IBM OS/2 1.x bitmaps
        2. IBM OS/2 1.x bitmap arrays
        3. IBM OS/2 2.x bitmaps
        4. IBM OS/2 2.x bitmap arrays
        5. Windows 3.x bitmaps

      Bitcounts:

           1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 bit

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.2. Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      The Encapsulated PostScript file format (EPSF) is a standard format for
      importing and exporting PostScript language files among applications in a
      variety of environments.

      The standard extension for EPS files is EPSF and EPSI (depending on the
      type of the EPS file). In order to be compatible with different file
      systems, PMView will use EPS as default extension.

      PMView Support

      For now, only EPSF-2.0 conforming files with TIFF-preview are supported.
      Future PMView versions will support the newer EPSF-3.0 device independent
      EPS interchage file format (EPSI).

      Technical Information

      Only EPSF-2.0 conforming files with TIFF-preview are supported.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.3. Electronic Arts IFF (IFF) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      The IFF format was defined by Electronic Arts back in 1985. The IFF
      format is very common on Commodore Amiga computers. Note that the IFF
      format can be used to hold a vide variety of information. An IFF file
      does not necessarily contain an image; it can contain sound clips,
      animations, text or whatever else.

      The default extension is IFF, though you'll probably encounter a lot of
      other extensions like MP, HAM, ILBM, LBM, etc.

      PMView Support

      PMView only supports FORM type IFF files that holds an image. The
      following two sub-types are supported:

          ILBM: 1..n planes
          PBM: 8 bits chunky format

      The following special types of ILBM files are supported:

          HAM: 3..16 planes
          Dynamic HAM (DHAM)
          Sliced HAM (SHAM)
          Palette change (PCHG)

      Technical Information

      PMView uses information from the following chunks when reading an IFF
      file:

           BMHD
           CAMG
           CMAP
           SHAM
           CTBL
           PCHG
           BODY


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.4. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      The GIF format was designed by Compuserve in 1987. Since then it has
      become very popular for general image exchange. There are two types of
      GIF files; GIF87a, the original standard of 1987 and GIF89a, the revised
      standard of 1989 that adds features for including comments, animation and
      text.

      The GIF format is a lossless format and is good for saving any type of
      image that has 256 colors (or shades of gray), or fewer.

      This format is suitable as a generalized format for image exchange,
      though the color information limit in the format may require you to
      choose PNG, TIFF or JPEG instead. In general this is the best format for
      images with a limited number of colors, since the compression ratio is
      good (regarding that the format is lossless) and GIF files can be
      decompressed very quickly.

      The Graphics Interchange Format is a proprietary format of Compuserve
      Incorportated.

      The standard extension for GIF files is GIF

      PMView Support

      PMView supports the original GIF87a specification in full. GIF89a files
      can also be read, but the GIF89a specific information will be ignored.
      For now, PMView will only display the first image of a multi-image GIF.

      Technical Information

           Versions: 87a, 89a
           Bitcount: 1..8

      The GIF compression/decompression included in this software is licensed
      under U.S. Patent No. 4,558,302 and foreign counterparts.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.5. JPEG File Interchange Format (JIF,JPG) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      The JPEG format is a "lossy" format, meaning that the image you get out
      of decompression isn't quite identical to what you originally put in. The
      algorithm achieves much of its compression by exploiting known
      limitations of the human eye, notably the fact that small color details
      aren't preceived as well as small details of light-and-dark. Thus, JPEG
      is intended for storing images that will be looked at by humans. If you
      plan to machine-analyze your images, the small errors introduced by JPEG
      may be a problem for you, even though they are invisible to the eye. This
      format is good for general image exchange.

      The extension recommended by the Joint Photographic Experts Group is JIF.
      Another commonly used extension is JPG, which is the default.

      PMView Support

      Support in accordance with the Independent JPEG Group's revision 6.

      Technical Information

      This space intentionally left blank


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.6. Microsoft Paint (MSP) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      MSP is the native format for Windows Paint, a drawing program found in
      the early 1.0 and 2.0 versions of Microsoft Windows. In Windows 3.0 this
      program was replaced by Windows Paintbrush which writes Windows Bitmaps
      (BMP) by default, thus rendering MSP obsolete.

      Though PMView is able to save files in the MSP format, we discourage you
      to do so, since the format is obsolete.

      The default extension is MSP.

      PMView Support

      PMView supports MSP Windows versions 1 and 2.

      Technical Information

      MSP is a monocrome, black/white format that uses a variant of run-length
      encoding.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.7. Kodak Photo-CD (PCD) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      Kodak Photo-CD allows you to have conventional photographs converted to
      Kodak's proprietary CD-ROM format. Not all CD-ROM drives can access
      Photo-CDs. You might want to contact Kodak for a full list of those that
      can. Each PCD file contains five scans of the same image at the
      resolutions listed below. Photo-CD files reside in the \PHOTO_CD\IMAGES\
      directory on the CD-ROM and are named IMGxxxx.PCD, where xxxx is a four
      digit number ranging from 0001 to the number of images on the disk.

      A sixth resolution (6144x4096) may be available on Photo-CD PRO disks.
      This is an extension to the standard, and resides in a different
      directory on the disk. PMView will use the information in
      \PHOTO_CD\IPE\IMGxxxx\64BASE\INFO.IC when reading this resolution.

      PMView Support

      All five standard image resolutions and orientations are supported. When
      needed, the images will automatically be rotated without any extra memory
      overhead during decoding. The Photo-CD PRO extension (64 Base) is also
      supported.

      PMView will prompt you for the desired resolution before loading an
      image. A default resolution can also be specified in the options
      notebook.

      Thumbnails will be loaded from \PHOTO_CD\OVERVIEW.PCD if it is available.
      An option for automatically loading/showing the startup file
      \PHOTO_CD\STARTUP.PCD is not available. However, if required, it can be
      viewed simply by changing the directory.

      Technical Information

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.8. ZSoft Paintbrush Format (PCX) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      PCX files are created by ZSoft's PC Paintbrush, one of the most popular
      PC drawing tools.

      Since the native operating system for this file format is DOS, the PCX
      format is not recommended as a generalized format for image exchange. We
      recommend that you use PNG, TIFF or JPEG for this purpose.

      The default extension is PCX.

      PMView Support

      At least the following PCX revisions are supported:

        1. Version 2.5 of PC Paintbrush
        2. Version 2.8 with or w/o palette
        3. Version 3.0
        4. Version 5.0 including 24-bit PCX

      PMView is not dependent of the version number tag, so in practise PMView
      should be able to display any PCX file conforming to the technical specs
      below. The version list above is provided as a guideline only.

      Technical Information

      Images up to 8-bit color depth [bits*planes <= 8]:

           1, 2, 4 or 8 bits
           1, 2 or 4 planes

      Support for 24-bit images (PCX rev 5.0):

           3 planes
           8 bits


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.9. PC Paint/Pictor Format (PIC) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      PIC files are created by PC Paint/Pictor (not PC Paintbrush) and are used
      by Grasp, among others.

      Since the native operating system for this file format is DOS, the PIC
      format is not recommended as a generalized format for image exchange. We
      recommend that you use PNG, TIFF or JPEG for this purpose.

      The default extension is PIC. Note! This extension is used by a number of
      applications to mean widely different things. If PMView cannot read your
      file with PIC extension, you can assume that it isn't a PC Paint/Pictor
      file. For instance, PMView will not read Lotus 1-2-3 PIC files (these are
      vector graphics, not bitmaps).

      PMView Support

      In conformance with the PIC file specifications PMView will be able to
      display any PIC file complying to the technical specifications below.
      Note! The 24-bit format is NOT standard. Many applications will not be
      able to handle files saved in this format.

      Technical Information

      Images up to 8-bit color depth [bits*planes <= 8]:

           1..8 bits
           1..8 planes

      Extended support for 24-bit images (non standard format):

           3 planes
           8 bits


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.10. PBMPlus Portable Bitmap (PBM) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      PBMPlus files are created by Jef Poskanzer's PBMPlus image processing
      software (UNIX).

      Since this format isn't standard and the native operations sytem is UNIX,
      the PBMPlus format is not recommended as a generalized format for image
      exchange. We recommend that you use PNG, TIFF or JPEG for this purpose.

      The default extension is PBM.

      PMView Support

      In conformance with Jef Poskanzer's specifications of 1990. The full
      specification is included below.

      Technical Information

           PBM - Portable Bitmap File Format

           DESCRIPTION

           The portable bitmap format is a lowest common denominator monochrome
           file format. It was originally designed to make it reasonable to
           mail bitmaps between different types of machines using the typical
           stupid network mailers we have today. Now it serves as the common
           language of a large family of bitmap conversion filters. The
           definition is as follows:

               A "magic number" for identifying the file type. A pbm file's
                magic number is the two characters "P1".
               Whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, LFs).
               A width, formatted as ASCII characters in decimal.
               Whitespace.
               A height, again in ASCII decimal.
               Whitespace.
               Width * height bits, each either '1' or '0', starting at the
                top-left corner of the bitmap, proceding in normal English
                reading order.
               The character '1' means black, '0' means white.
               Whitespace in the bits section is ignored.
               Characters from a "#" to the next end-of-line are ignored
                (comments).
               No line should be longer than 70 characters.

           Here is an example of a small bitmap in this format:

                      P1
                      # feep.pbm
                      24 7
                      0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
                      0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0
                      0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
                      0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0
                      0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
                      0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
                      0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

           Programs that read this format should be as lenient as possible,
           accepting anything that looks remotely like a bitmap.

           There is also a variant on the format, available by saving the image
           with the RAWBITS option. This variant is different in the following
           ways:

               The "magic number" is "P4" instead of "P1".
               The bits are stored eight per byte, high bit first low bit
                last.
               No whitespace is allowed in the bits section, and only a single
                character of whitespace (typically a newline) is allowed after
                the height.
               The files are eight times smaller and many times faster to read
                and write.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.11. PBMPlus Portable Graymap (PGM) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      PBMPlus files are created by Jef Poskanzer's PBMPlus image processing
      software (UNIX).

      Since this format isn't standard and the native operations sytem is UNIX,
      the PBMPlus format is not recommended as a generalized format for image
      exchange. We recommend that you use PNG, TIFF or JPEG for this purpose.

      The default extension is PGM.

      Technical Information

           PGM - Portable Graymap File Format

           DESCRIPTION

           The portable graymap format is a lowest common denominator grayscale
           file format. The definition is as follows:

               A "magic number" for identifying the file type. A pgm file's
                magic number is the two characters "P2".
               Whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, LFs).
               A width, formatted as ASCII characters in decimal.
               Whitespace.
               A height, again in ASCII decimal.
               Whitespace.
               The maximum gray value, again in ASCII decimal.
               Whitespace.
               Width * height gray values, each in ASCII decimal, between 0
                and the specified maximum value, separated by whitespace,
                starting at the top- left corner of the graymap, proceding in
                normal English reading order. A value of 0 means black, and the
                maximum value means white.
               Characters from a "#" to the next end-of-line are ignored
                (comments).
               No line should be longer than 70 characters.

           Here is an example of a small graymap in this format:

                      P2
                      # feep.pgm
                      24 7

                      0  3  3  3  0  0  0  7  7  7  0  0  0 11 11 11  0  0  0 15 15 15 15  0
                      0  3  0  0  0  0  0  7  0  0  0  0  0 11  0  0  0  0  0 15  0  0  0  0
                      0  3  0  0  0  0  0  7  7  7  7  0  0 11 11 11 11  0  0 15  0  0  0  0
                      0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0

           Programs that read this format should be as lenient as possible,
           accepting anything that looks remotely like a graymap.

           There is also a variant on the format, available by saving the image
           with the RAWBITS option. This variant is different in the following
           ways:

               The "magic number" is "P5" instead of "P2".
               The gray values are stored as plain bytes, instead of ASCII
                decimal.
               No whitespace is allowed in the grays section, and only a
                single character of whitespace (typically a newline) is allowed
                after the maxval.
               The files are smaller and many times faster to read and write.

           Note that this raw format can only be used for maxvals smaller than
           or equal to 255. If you use the PGM library and try to write a file
           with a larger maxval, it will automatically fall back on the slower
           but more general plain format.

           PPM - Portable Pixmap File Format

           DESCRIPTION

           The portable pixmap format is a lowest common denominator color
           image file format. The definition is as follows:

               A "magic number" for identifying the file type. A ppm file's
                magic number is the two characters "P3".
               Whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, LFs).
               A width, formatted as ASCII characters in decimal.
               Whitespace.
               A height, again in ASCII decimal.
               Whitespace.
               The maximum color-component value, again in ASCII decimal.
               Whitespace.
               Width * height pixels, each three ASCII decimal values between
                0 and the specified maximum value, starting at the top-left
                corner of the pixmap, proceding in normal English reading
                order. The three values for each pixel represent red, green,
                and blue, respectively; a value of 0 means that color is off,
                and the maximum value means that color is maxxed out.
               Characters from a "#" to the next end-of-line are ignored
                (comments).
               No line should be longer than 70 characters.

           Here is an example of a small pixmap in this format:

                      P3
                      # feep.ppm
                      4 4

                      15  0 15    0  0  0    0  0  0    0  0  0

           Programs that read this format should be as lenient as possible,

               The pixel values are stored as plain bytes, instead of ASCII
                decimal.
               Whitespace is not allowed in the pixels area, and only a single
                character of whitespace (typically a newline) is allowed after
                the maxval.
               The files are smaller and many times faster to read and write.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.13. Portable Network Graphics File Format (PNG) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      The PNG format is intended to provide a portable, legally unencumbered,
      well-compressed, well-specified standard for lossless bitmapped image
      files.

      PNG is highly recommended as a generalized format for image exchange.

      The default extension is PNG.

      PMView Support

      PMView supports the PNG format in full, according to the 10th draft of
      the PNG specification (5 May, 1995). We have coded all the routines from
      scratch and optimized the code for speed under OS/2, thus PMView does not
      use the public PNG-library.

      Example of a slideshow file:

            PMView SlideShow
            BeginShow
               BeginImage
                  FileName      D:\ss\image1.jif
                  ShowInfo      Yes
                  Information   "Demo slideshow"
               EndImage
               BeginImage
                  FileName      D:\ss\image2.jif
                  UseTimer      Yes
                  DisplayTime   2
               EndImage
               BeginImage
                  FileName      D:\ss\image3.jif
                  UseTimer      Yes
               EndImage
            EndShow

      In this example the note "Demo slideshow" will be displayed with the
      first image (image1.jif). The timer is not used for the first image, the
      user must manually continue. The second image (image2.jif) uses the timer
      and will display for 2 seconds. The third image also uses the timer and
      will display the default time; 5 seconds.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.15. Truevision Targa Format (TGA) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      In addition to developing the famous Truevision Targa boards, Truevision
      Inc. also have come up with a specification for a high-end file format
      that will support images suitable for display on Targa hardware. The
      Targa format, or TGA, supports images of any dimensions with between 1
      and 32 bits of color. While the Targa format originated with Truevision's
      hardware, it has migrated to many other applications. It's probably the
      most universally supported 24-bit file format for PC applications. Unlike
      TIFF, for example, it's subject to relatively few variations. Software
      that reads Targa files should be able to read all Targa files.

      The default extension is TGA.

      PMView Support

      The Targa file format recognizes over a dozen subfile formats, some of
      which are more widely used than others. We have chosen to only support
      the formats that are actually used for general image exchange, that is
      the formats specified in the official Truevision TGA File Format
      Specification, available from Truevision Inc. on request. PMView supports
      the following most popular versions of the Targa format: 1, 2, 3, 9, 10,
      and 11. Again, if PMView fails to load a file that you need, please
      contact us so we can try to support your file's format in our next
      release.

      Technical Information

      Supported Targa file subformats:

          1 is uncompressed, color-mapped images with 16, 24, or 32-bit
           palette entries
          2 is uncompressed RGB images with 15, 16, and 24-bit support
          3 is uncompressed grayscale 8-bit (256 shades) support
          9 is RLE color-mapped images with 16, 24, or 32-bit palette entries
          10 is RLE RGB with 15, 16, and 24-bit support
          11 is compressed grayscale 8-bit (256 shades) support

      Supported Targa file descriptors:

          Image orientation: Top, Bottom, Left, Right
          Raster format: Non-interlaced, 2-pass interlaced, 4-pass interlaced


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.16. Tagged Interchange File Format (TIF) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      General Description

      This format is suitable as a generalized format for cross platform image
      exchange since applications for processing TIFF images are available on
      most platforms. Beware! Many applications only handle a small subset of
      the formats specified in the TIFF specs. Don't take for granted that an
      application will be able to read the files you save!

      TIFF is a proprietary format of Aldus Corporation.

      The default extension is TIF.

      PMView Support

      PMView provides full Baseline support conforming with the TIFF 6.0
      specification and supports the following TIFF Extensions:

          Orientation Tag
          CCITT Bilevel Encodings
          LZW Compression
          Differencing Predictor
          Tiled Images
          CMYK Images
          RGB Image Colorimetry
          YCbCr Images

      The TIFF JPEG extension will be supported in a later revision of PMView.

      Technical Information

          Both Intel and Motorola byte orders are handled.
          Tiled Images.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Palette Manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

OS/2 2.0 introduced a new display subsystem called the palette manager. Most
video hardware can distinguish between 262,144 different colors, but cannot
display all of them at once. Palette manager mediates requests for colors and
decides which colors are shown on the screen at any given time. Most 256-color
OS/2 screen drivers support palette manager.

If your computer can display more than 256 colors at a time, you have a deep
color video system. Deep color systems don't use (or need) palette manager.

Palette manager also provides color animation.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Deep Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A device that is capable of directly displaying colors in a specific format
without having to reduce the number of colors by software is referred to as a
deep color device.

For instance 15 bit (32,768 colors), 16 bit (65,536 colors) and 24 bit (16.7
million colors) graphics adapters are deep color devices. These adapters can
directly display 24-bit RGB data, so programs like PMView do not need to do any
color reduction.

24-bit deep color is usually called true color. However, some people use true
color interchangeably with deep color.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Dithering ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Dithering uses several colors together to create the look of a color that is
actually not available in the physical device palette. By filling an area with
pixels of alternating colors a desired color can be approximated. An example of
using this technique is filling an area with varying amounts of black and white
pixels to create various shades of gray.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Color Animation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Color animation makes it possible to smoothly transform the colors of an image.
With animation it is possible to adjust brightness, contrast and colors as
smoothly as turning the knobs on your TV set.

Color animation is traditionally provided only on systems that support palette
manager. However, this release of PMView supports color animation on deep color
systems as well.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Automatic Thumbnailing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PMView provides automatic thumbnailing in the file open dialog. When you enter
a directory PMView will scan the files and automatically start to create
thumbnails for all files that don't have a thumbnail already.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Thumbnail ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

A thumbnail is a miniature preview image attached to a file. PMView provides
thumbnails as an alternative to file names. Thumbnails are available in the
file open and file save dialogs.

The thumbnail is attached to the extended attributes of a file. This makes it
possible to copy and move files without losing the thumbnail information. The
thumbnail data is also valid icon data, thus thumbnails created with PMView
will also be visible in OS/2's drives folders. The thumbnails are not display
driver dependent. You can view thumbnails created on a 256 color system on a
deep color system and vice versa. It doesn't matter if you're in 256 or deep
color mode when you create the thumbnails; the thumbnail data will always be
the same, regardless of your current system configuration.

To obtain the best possible thumbnail quality, PMView uses a couple of tricks
to enhance the thumbnail quality. PMView thumbnails are created as follows:

   1. The image is scaled to a 80x80 bitmap using anti-aliasing (a pixel
      average method).
   2. The bitmap is sharpened by convolution.
   3. The bitmap color data is quantized to 256 colors and dithered using
      Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion.
   4. The bitmap is attached to the .ICON EA of the file.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Pixel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Technical term for picture element, the smallest element of an image. Pixels
are arranged in rows and columns to create an image.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

An area on a disk where files can be found. Think of a disk as being like a
filing cabinet. Then a directory is like a hanging folder inside the filing
cabinet, and the files are like sheets of paper inside the hanging folder.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Command-line flags ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

There are 21 optional flags that you can use when invoking PMView. You can
specify the flags in any mix of upper and lower case. You can specify the flags
in any order you like, before or after the file name. Only the first three
letters are important (which is why they're highlighted below). Here's the
complete list of command-line switches:

      /Inifile=fullfile: This overrides the value of the PMVIEW_INI environment
      variable and specifies the path and name of the file where PMView should
      read and store its options. This flag is useful if you want different
      PMView sessions to use different settings.

      Sample use: PMVIEW /INI=D:\PMVIEW\PMVINI2.INI

      /Filterpath=fullpath: This overrides the value of the PMVIEW_FILTER
      environment variable and specifies the full path to the directory where
      PMView should search for filter files.

      Sample use: PMVIEW /FIL=D:\PMVIEW\NEWFILTER

      /Helppath=fullpath: This overrides the value of the PMVIEW_HELP
      environment variable and specifies the full path to the directory where
      PMView can find its help files.

      Sample use: PMVIEW /HEL=D:\PMVIEW\NEWHELP

      /NoHelp : This specifies that PMView should not load the online help. Use
      this if you don't need help and you want PMView to start up as quickly as
      possible.

      /Logfile=fullfile: This specfies the path and name of the "log file"
      where PMView should store debugging information in case it crashes. If
      you contact us with a bug report, we may want to know what your log file
      says.

      Sample use: PMVIEW /LOG=D:\PMVIEW\TROUBLE.LOG

      /Idleload: This specifies that PMView should use idle-time loading (with
      priority boost). This is the default.

      /NoIdleload: This specifies that PMView should not use idle-time loading
      but should use ordinary (higher) priority instead. This will tend to
      speed up the PMView session, but slow down everything else that is
      running in OS/2 at the same time.

      /PaletteManager: This specifies that PMView should use Palette Manager if
      it is available.

      /NoPaletteManager: This specifies that PMView should not use Palette
      Manager, even if it is available.

      /Red=num: This specifies a level for red balance. The number can be from
      -100% (no red) to 100% (maximum red).

      /Green=num: This specifies a level for green balance. The number can be
      from -100% (no green) to 100% (maximum green).

      /Blue=num: This specifies a level for blue balance. The number can be
      from -100% (no blue) to 100% (maximum blue).

      /Brightness=num: This specifies a level of brightness. The number can be
      from -100% (minimum brightness) to 100% (maximum brightness).

      /Contrast=num: This specifies a level of contrast. The number can be
      from -100% (minimum contrast) to 100% (maximum contrast).

      /Color=num: This specifies a level of color. The number can be from -100%
      (minimum color) to 100% (maximum color).

      /Gamma=num: This specifies a gamma value. The number can be from 0.010
      (minimum gamma) to 10.00 (maximum gamma).

      /Grayscale: If this flag is specified, PMView will convert loaded images
      to shades of gray.

      /Negative: If this flag is specified, PMView will show loaded images in
      negative.

      /WPos=(Left,Bottom,Width,Height,Flags): This flag determines the initial
      position and size of PMView's main window. Click here for more
      information on the /WPos switch.

      / SHOrtfileretry: This flag will let PMView wait for more data to be
      available when PMView is loading an incomplete file and comes to an
      unexpected end of the file. Click here for more information on the /SHO
      switch. Warning! This switch affects the performance of PMView

      /TAP=pipename: This flag lets a TAP server start PMView by specifying the
      pipe name. This flag also lets you register and deregister PMView as a
      TAP application. Click here for more information on the /TAP switch.

 Example: Suppose you want to use e:\inis\pmview.ini for your INI file, you
 want to use the help files in e:\pmview, you want to have maximum contrast,
 you want to be in negative mode, and you want PMView to start by loading the
 file CUBE.GIF. You could do all this by entering the following at an OS/2
 command prompt:

  pmview /ini=e:\inis\pmview.ini /hel=e:\pmview /con=100 /neg
  cube.gif


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> /WPos flag ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      /WPos=(Left,Bottom,Width,Height,Flags): This flag determines the initial
      position and size of PMView's main window. IMPORTANT: If you use /WPos,
      make sure that you don't type any spaces between numbers or flags.

      If no value is specified, the default value(s) will be used. Left, Right,
      Width and Height can be specified in pixels or percent of the desktop
      size. To specify a percentage, add the letter "p" (for example, 17p
      stands for 17 percent).

      Flags can be one or none of the following flags

      Maximize          Start PMView maximized
      Minimize          Start PMView minimized
      Restore           Start PMView in non min/maximized state

      and can be combined with one or more of the following flags

      Activate          Make PMView's main window the active window.
      Foreground        Bring PMView to the foreground

 Example: Start PMView maximized

  PMView /WPos=(,,,,Max)

 Example: Set PMView's main window size to 100x100 pixels

  PMView /WPos=(,,100,100,Res)

 Example: Activate PMView and bring it to the foreground

  PMView /WPos=(,,,,ForAct)

 Example: Center PMView on desktop, making it half as wide and tall as the
 screen

  PMView /WPos=(25p,25p,50p,50p)


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> /TAP flag ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The /TAP flag takes either a pipe name or one of the two parameters
REGisterapplication or DERegisterapplication

      /TAP=\PIPE\pipename: This flag lets a TAP server start PMView by
      specifying the pipe name that should be used for client-server
      communication. If the pipe is valid and PMView successfully can connect
      to it, PMView will go into TAP mode. In TAP mode all file operations are
      controlled by the server and thus the File Menu only has one single
      command: Exit. TAP mode cannot be altered at run-time; once PMView is
      started in TAP mode it will remain in TAP mode until terminated.

      /TAP=REGisterapplication: This tells PMView that is should register
      itself as a TAP (client) application. When PMView is invoked with this
      flag, it will write TAP information to the OS/2 system INI file and
      thereafter immediately exit. This (and /TAP=DER) is the only time that
      PMView will ever write to your system files.

      /TAP=DERegisterapplication: This tells PMView that is should deregister
      itself as a TAP application. When PMView is invoked with this flag, it
      will remove any TAP information previously written to the INI file by
      /TAP=REGisterapplication. This (and /TAP=REG) is the only time that
      PMView will ever write to your system files.

      Note:  When PMView is registered as TAP application the current location,
      i.e. full path, of the PMView executable (PMView.EXE) will be stored. If
      you at a later point move PMView to another location on your hard disk,
      you may need to run pmview /TAP=REG to update the information in the OS/2
      system INI file. Note that you are not required to deregister before
      re-registering.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> /SHOrtfileretry flag ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The /SHOrtfileretry flag will let PMView wait for more data to be available
when PMView is loading an incomplete file and comes to the (unexpected) end of
the file.

Warning! This option makes PMView update the display line by line, thus the
painting will be much slower than usual. Don't use this option unless you need
it.

If this flag is used when loading a short file (that is, a file that has not
been fully written to disk yet and data is missing at the end of the file)
PMView will wait for more data to be written to the file and progressively
update the image until all data has arrived. If the writing application closes
the file PMView will assume that the file is completely written and stop
waiting.

You can for instance use this feature with terminal emulators that don't
support PMView's TAP system or with your favorite ray-tracer to progressively
view files as they are downloaded/created.

Note that the other application that writes the file must have opened it with
shared read access. If this isn't true, PMView will not have rights to access
the file and will thus fail with a file open error. Furthermore the writing
application must write the file sequentially, from start to end. This option
will not work correctly with non-sequential file formats like TIFF, PIC and
256-color PCX that require random access to the file. In this case the file
cannot and will not be displayed until all data has arrived, i.e. the whole
file is written.

Some applications write files in several steps. After each step the file is
closed and reopened when the next pass starts. (For instance, POV-Ray may do
this.) If this happens, and PMView gives you an "Unexpected end of file" error,
try supplying a timeout value to the /SHO flag. This value tells PMView that if
the file is closed, PMView should wait for the specified time period (in
milliseconds) and check the file again before giving up. So, for instance, if
you get "Unexpected end of file" errors while watching POV-Ray render an image,
try using "/SHO=250" in the command line when you invoke PMView. Warning!
Setting a timeout value will make PMView idle during the specified time after
loading is complete. Don't set a timeout value unless you really need it, and
try to keep it as small as possible.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. Environment variables ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Currently there are three OS/2 environment variable that PMView uses:

      PMVIEW_INI This variable specifies the filename (including full path)
      that PMView should use for storing its options. If this environment
      variable is not set, PMView will create the file PMVIEW.INI in the
      current directory and store its information there. You can use the /INI=
      command-line flag to override this variable and specify a different INI
      file to use.

      PMVIEW_HELP This variable specifies the directory (including full path)
      where PMView's help files reside. If this variable is not set, PMView
      will look for its help files in the current directory. If PMView cannot
      find its help files when it starts up, it will display an error message.
      You can use the /HEL= command-line flag to override this variable and
      point to a different directory, or the /NOH= command-line flag to PMView
      skip loading any help files at all.

      PMVIEW_FILTER This variable specifies the directory (including full path)
      where PMView's filter files reside. If this variable is not set, PMView
      will look for the filters in the current directory. If PMView cannot find
      its filter files when it starts up, the Select Filter dialog will be
      empty. You can use the /FIL= command-line flag to override this variable
      and point to a different directory.

 We recommend that you put the following lines in your CONFIG.SYS. In the
 example PMView is assumed to reside in the PMVIEW directory on the D: drive.

  set PMVIEW_INI=D:\PMVIEW\PMVIEW.INI
  set PMVIEW_HELP=D:\PMVIEW
  set PMVIEW_FILTER=D:\PMVIEW\FILTERS

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> General Q&A ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This answers the most common questions we've been asked about PMView. Don't
forget to look at the File Open Container Q&A and the Slideshow Q&A.

 Q.  How do I get rid of the annoying About dialog that always pop up when I
     start PMView?

 A.  If you haven't registered PMView yet; Register! In the unregistered
     version of PMView you cannot dismiss the dialog until 5 seconds has
     elapsed. In the registered version you can disable the dialog by changing
     the setting on the Logo page in PMView's  Options Notebook.

 Q.  Why is the painting of images slow and jumpy ?

 A.  This depends on your OS/2 version or machine setup. Try enabling the Use
     GpiDrawBits and/or the Use Shadow Bitmap options in the Options Notebook.
     Please also read the on-line help for these options.

 Q.  Why do desktop colors change/flash whenever I load an image ?

 A.  This is caused by OS/2's palette manager when it remaps system colors. If
     you're willing to sacrifice color quality, you can fix this problem by
     turning off the palette manager; Uncheck Use Palette Manager on the
     Palette page in PMView's options notebook.

 Q.  Why does/doesn't PMView ask for confirmation before deleting a file?

 A.  PMView will ask for file delete confirmation in accordance with the
     setting on the Confirmations page in PMView's Options Notebook.

 Q.  Why does PMView create a file called PMView.INI in every directory PMView
     is started from?

 A.  Set the PMVIEW_INI environment variable in your CONFIG.SYS.

 Q.  Why cannot PMView sometimes find its help file?

 A.  Set the PMVIEW_HELP environment variable in your CONFIG.SYS.

 Q.  Can I change the background color of PMView's main window?

 A.  Yes! Drag the desired color from OS/2's Color Palette to PMView's main
     window. Note that you can also set the colors and fonts in the File Open
     and File Save dialogs.

 Q.  PMView can read files in the Kodak Photo CD format, why cannot PMView save
     them in the same format?

 A.  Kodak Corporation only allows reading their file format. It is not legally
     permitted to write files in the Photo-CD format. (Currently no other
     programs, with the exception of Kodak's own programs, allow this to be
     done).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14. Bugs and known problems ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

How to report bugs

If you encounter a problem in PMView and can't find the problem listed below,
please report it to us. Please record the program version number and a
description of the action being performed at the time of the error.

We welcome any and all bug reports at [e-mail].

PMView bugs

If you try to delete an image by dragging it from the File Open container to
the shredder, you will hear the sound of the shredder, but the file will not be
deleted. Fixing this bug will require completely changing PMView's WPS support.
We will do it, but it may not happen for a few versions. For now, please use
the Del key, or the Delete right-mouse-button command.

For now, the width and height of any image that can be viewed is limited to
65,535 pixels. Although the memory requirement for, say, a 70,000x50x256 image
is fulfilled (approx. 3.5 MB) the image cannot be loaded by PMView, since
PMView uses a 32-bit integer fixed-point notation that uses 16 bits for the
integer part (and the other 16 of the 32 bits for the fraction part). If you
load an image larger than 65,535 pixels wide or high the result is
unpredictable. However, please note that this "feature" only affect the
viewing/loading of images. PMView's convert function will work correctly, so at
least you are able to convert these files to other formats, though you cannot
view them. If you need this feature/bug to be fixed soon, please let us know
and we'll fix it.

There are no other known bugs in this release of PMView.

OS/2 bugs

Everything from here on is a bug in OS/2 and not in PMView.

   1. PROBLEMS WITH SPECIFIC OS/2 VERSIONS

 For best results, you should run PMView under Warp, since Warp fixed a lot of
 screen driver bugs. The second-best choice is OS/2 2.11 (i.e., OS/2 2.1 with
 the service pack) -- but see FATAL BUG below.

 We do not recommend that you run PMView under other OS/2 versions. While you
 cannot "damage" your system, the screen driver bugs may give disappointing
 performance.

 FATAL BUG OS/2 version 2.1 + service pak: If you have a large number of files
 with thumbnails (typically > 300) in the File Open Container (FOC) the whole
 WPS will lock and a warm boot (Ctrl-Alt-Del) is required. This bug is due to a
 problem with bitmap resources in OS/2 2.1 with the service pack installed. The
 problem does not occur without the service pack. Neither does it occur on any
 version of OS/2 2.0.

   2. GENERAL OS/2 BUGS

 As of this writing, OS/2 does not recover very gracefully if you run out of
 swap space. Running many copies of PMView while viewing big images may get you
 in trouble. (Remember, a 1024x768x256 image represents 768K of pixel data
 alone!)

 There's also a "feature" of OS/2's WPS that you might want to know about.
 Suppose you associate *.GIF files with PMView. This means that you'll be able
 to double-click on a *.GIF file (when you have a drives object open, for
 instance) and PMView will start up and display that file. The "feature" is
 this: If you start up PMView this way and then do a File Delete, OS/2 will
 kill PMView shortly after the file gets deleted. If there is sufficient
 interest, Peter will try to write a workaround.

   3. OS/2 SCREEN DRIVER BUGS

 If you see screen corruption, the first thing you should try in most cases is
 to turn off GpiDrawBits (on the Special page of the options notebook). While
 Warp fixed many screen driver bugs, there are still some drivers that have
 problems with GpiDrawBits if you scroll.

 Screen Bugs Under Warp

 The ATI Mach64 drivers shipped with Warp do not function properly in 65536
 color mode. There is a bug in how the driver handles the GPI function
 GpiQueryBitmapBits. The bug causes PMView's Capture function to capture with
 wrong colors. The bug may also cause problems when exporting/importing images
 with Cut/Copy/Paste from/to other applications. A new Mach64 driver that fixes
 this problem is available via FTP from ftp.atitech.ca
 /pub/support/OS2/64os2154.zip

 The ATI Mach32 and Mach64 drivers have bugs that prevent them from working
 with GpiDrawBits turned on (scrolling does not work correctly).

 The drivers for the IBM ThinkPad 755 cause thumbnails to be painted in
 reverse, like film negatives. As a workaround we have supplied an option on
 the Special page in PMView's options notebook that will reverse the
 thumbnails.

 Screen Bugs Before Warp

 In OS/2 2.11 and earlier, the standard VGA driver and most S3 drivers have
 bugs that prevent them from working with GpiDrawBits turned on. The bug in the
 VGA driver will crash PMView immediately when an image is loaded. The S3
 driver bug causes scrolling to not work properly. In these cases you
 cannot/may not want to use GpiDrawbits.

 On some machines, the desktop icons will occasionally "bleed through" and be
 visible when they shouldn't be. We have not found any pattern to this bug,
 except that it seems to occur more often on faster machines.

 If your screen driver does not support palette manager, you may not get a very
 attractive display. However, most 256-color screen drivers now support Palette
 Manager.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 15. Why Register? ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

      Since the shareware copy of PMView that you have is fully functional, you
      may wonder what you'll gain by registering. This section tries to clarify
      the matter.

      You may use PMView for a 31-day trial period, as long as you agree to the
      provisions of the license agreement. If you continue to use PMView beyond
      this 31-day trial period, you are obligated to register it.

      Creating this piece of software has required years of hard work. We are
      trusting you to register if you continue to use it after the trial
      period. This is what shareware is all about. This is the first time we
      have released PMView in a version that lets you save files before you
      register it. If our trust is repaid by a drop in the number of
      registrations, we will have no choice but to go back to disabling file
      saves in the unregistered version. If you like PMView, please support it,
      so we can keep releasing it as fully functional, non-crippled shareware.

      Registering PMView will not give you any new functionality, but you'll be
      able to turn off the annoying nag-dialog (and the PMView icon will look a
      little nicer). Furthermore, when you register PMView you can rest assured
      that we will continue to enhance it to take advantage of advances in
      future hardware and software technology. Also, while we will listen to
      any suggestions we receive, we pay close attention to requests and
      suggestions from registered users.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. How to Register ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Since PMView is distributed as shareware, you may use it for a 31-day trial
period, as long as you agree to the provisions of the license agreement. If you
continue to use PMView beyond the 31-day trial period, you are obligated to
register it.

When you register PMView, you will be given instructions for converting it to
the full, non-shareware version. You may not distribute the full version. You
may treat it just like a book, except that you may copy it onto a computer to
be used and you may make archival copies of it for the sole purpose of backing
up the software and protecting your investment from loss.

Registrations

A PMView registration costs $40. You must give us your name. In return, you
will receive a short "secret code" (of about 30 letters and numbers) that will
enable you to run REGISTER.EXE and thus register any and all versions of PMView
up to 1.0 and beyond. Thus, your one-time payment of $40 is a lifetime license
for all future versions of PMView.

Note:  You will not receive PMView on a floppy, unless you order it at the same
time (see below). If you have access to CompuServe or an up-to-date ftp site,
you generally won't need a copy of PMView on a floppy.

 1.44MB floppy. This costs $7, or is free if you send your own self-addressed,
 stamped 1.44MB floppy disk.

 The version you get won't be special in any way. It will be completely
 identical to the latest version you can download from ftp.cdrom.com or
 CompuServe. It will not be registered.

 To order PMView on a floppy, either send a self-addressed, stamped floppy disk
 (with postage for both ways!) or send a note with your name, address, and $7
 to the address indicated in the order form.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. License Agreement ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The use of PMView is subject to the following terms and conditions.

The copy of PMView that you have is distributed as shareware. You may freely
copy and distribute the file PMVIEW.ZIP but only AS LONG AS THIS FILE IS NOT
MODIFIED IN ANY WAY. You may NOT distribute individual components of
PMVIEW.ZIP, either as-is or in modified form, without written permission from
Peter Nielsen.

Since PMView is distributed as shareware, you may use it for a 31-day trial
period, as long as you agree to the provisions of this license agreement. If
you continue to use PMView beyond the 31-day trial period, you are obligated to
register it. Instructions for registering PMView can be found by selecting Help
About from the PMView menu bar.

When you register PMView, you will be given instructions for converting it to
the full, non-shareware version. You may not distribute the full version. You
may treat it just like a book, except that you may copy it onto a computer to
be used and you may make archival copies of it for the sole purpose of backing
up the software and protecting your investment from loss.

By saying "just like a book," we mean that the full version may be used by any
number of people, and may be freely moved from one computer location to
another, so long as there is NO POSSIBILITY of it being used at one location or
on one computer while it is being used at another. Just like a book cannot be
read by two different people in two different places at one time, neither can
the full version of PMView be used by two different people in two different
places at the same time (unless, of course, Peter Nielsen's copyright is being
violated).

CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY BREACH OF
THESE WARRANTIES EVEN IF HE OR HIS AGENTS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY

           if the selected size is too large to fit on one sheet of paper. This
           allows you to create a large poster by gluing the pages together.
           (Don't forget that you also can increase the size of the margins in
           the Page Setup dialog). The total number of sheets required is
           indicated in the field below. Use the Unit Selector to set the
