- Short: Multipurpose gfx converter. 2.04+.
- Type: gfx/conv

-
- PicCon is short for Picture Converter. This is a utility for converting
- graphics from "packed" formats (like IFF-ILBMs, GIFs etc) to any of a
- host of different RAW formats, all in a full-featured GUI. While PicCon
- originally was targetted at the programmers, it now also supports saving
- to Amiga workbench icons and Amiga fontsets (draw a fontset in DPaint, then
- convert it to the Amiga bitmap fonts format with PicCon), while it still has
- extensive support for all RAW formats that I (and the users) could find
- interesting (including bitplanes, interleaved, chunky, sprite16/32/64,
- blittermasks +++).
-
- Major improvements since version 2.00:
-
- o OS2.04+ compability, no longer requires OS3.0
-
- o batchprocessing from the commandline (save out all graphics that
- a project need through a single command!)
-
- o extensive Super Nintendo/Famicom support (save SNES palettes, charactersets,
- screens, objects, MODE7 screens, etc etc)
-
- o Sega Megadrive/Genesis support
-
- o save bitmaps to Amiga fonts (which you can later use in DTP, wordprocessing,
- on the Workbench, in DPaint, etc)
-
- o some example Amiga assembler sourcecodes that uses some of the saveformats
- are included (nice for beginners), including sources for displaying 8
- bitplanes screens, HAM8 screens, 64 pixels wide AGA sprites ++
-
- o save as E source
-
- o included general configurationwindow (remove annoying requesters, etc)
-
- (+ the usual bug/quirk fixes).
-
-
- This is a demoversion. Two non-essential features are missing, and the
- program will exit after two saves.
-
- The requested sharewarefee is $15 (or an equal amount in any other currency,
- cash only).
-
- Check it out!
