These are two Lightwave Raytraces of The Amiga Version of the New
MacOS 8 (Copland) boot/logo screens as seen from the official Apple WWW
site for MacOS8.0.
I recommend you use the only with a Gfx card as native AGA in 256
colours especially on an unexpanded A1200 will be deathly slow.
They are fine on my A3000/040/40 with CyberGraphics but they swipe a
fair chunk of fast/chip ram - nice if you can afford to use it this way.
One is for OS3.0 and the other is for OS3.1 - take your pick depending
on the OS you are using.
You can use them either as Workbench backdrops or as boot screens (if
like me you hate the CyberGfx Logo). Any boot screen program which can
use normal 256 colour IFFs will be able to load these two pictures.
If they are to be used as Workbench Backers I suggest that you use a 256
colour intuition screen of SVGA dimensions (800x600 pixels) and you use
an image manipulation program (ADPRO for instance) and reduce the number
of colours to 128 or less. They are currently 256 colours. The reason
for this is that The entire 256 colours is curently used in the palette
for the pictures and with OS3.X palette methods you will actually have
less (seeing colours 1-4 and 252-256 are locked by the WB Pallete
program (pens are locked)) than 256 coloours to map the image to and
it's always a good idea to allow some free pens for icons and other
palette operations (don't worry Windoze actually has less colours than
this to play with on a 256 colour screen and a Mac can be horrifying
when not using the "System Palette" or a shared palette :).
They are FREEWARE and you can do with them what you wish. Do not upload
these to anywhere near or to do with Apple Computers (i.e. they are NOT
to be used on a real Macintosh unless it's Shapeshifter:). I did not see
any Copyrights or anything whilst on the Apple site saying they or the
idea for the visuals were theirs, so I provide them here in their AMIGA
versions in the hope I haven't breached any rights.
