SUMMARY:
PreVue is a graphics file viewer, general image utility and Multimedia
player, distributed as 100% Functional Shareware.
Features outstanding ease-of-use; easy access to all controls with minimal
keyboard input, mouse movements and learning. Includes basic, intermediate
and advanced Help functions.
Features full GIF 87a/89a support (and Comment viewing) with probably the
fastest GIF decode to screen routines in Windows (written in assembly).
Includes Full Screen decoding option (for those that miss DOS). Also, fully
supports PCX, TIFF, TGA, BMP, DIB, WPG, and DCX formats. Includes support
for JPG/JIF (JPEG File Interchange Format, JFIF) files and raster image
support for EPS and Mac PICT files.
Multimedia support includes AVI video, WAV audio, MIDI music and FLI/FLC
animation files. AVI playback uses low level MCI video commands, allowing
for full scalability in a sizeable window. Includes AVI frame grab function
to import and save AVI frames to other formats.
Image printing on B/W printers supports error-distributed dithering for
superior gray shades. Interface includes a simulated document to resize and
position image on paper before printing.
PreVue also converts file formats, sharpens, smoothens, adjusts contrast
and brightness, resizes, flips/rotates, dithers, reduces colors, and
converts to gray, among other features.
REQUIREMENTS:
