Targa

Format: Load and Save Truevision Targa images.

Loads: Yes

Saves: Yes

Autodetect: Yes (but only if filename ends in .targa or .tga)

Targa (TGA) is the image format developed by Truevision for their Targa graphics boards for PCs. This was, in past years, a highly popular format for the transfer of 24-bit image data, and is still used by many PC programs (eg 3d Studio) as an output format. It is not a very complex format, and autodetection of images relies on the filename ending in either .tga or .targa (unlike all other Photogenics loaders which examine the file content rather than the filename).

Text

Format: Create a new image from the supplied text

Loads: Yes

Saves: No

Autodetect: N/A

A new buffer is created with your chosen text. Select the font you wish to use with the preferences option. This uses the standard system font requester and supports standard fonts, Compugraphic fonts and colour fonts.

For overlaying text over pictures, load text into a new buffer and use the Compose function (with brightness key enabled). This works best with anti-aliased colour fonts (installable as an option with the package), or if the text is slightly blurred before composing.

Over 200 good quality anti-aliased colour fonts are available on CD-ROM from Almathera (on the Amiga Desktop Video CD-ROM) which are ideal for use with Photogenics.

TIFF

Format: Load ands save TIFF format images.

Loads: Yes

Saves: Yes

Autodetect: Yes

Load and save TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) images. Some TIFF files have incorrectly stored palette information - if the image loads as totally black or white, try the 'Reverse Colour Information' option in preferences.

TurboPrint

Format: Print an image using TurboPrint V4.1 or higher.

Loads: No

Saves: Yes

Autodetect: N/A

This sends your image to the TurboPrint V4.1 software (if installed) to directly output 24-bit graphics to a colour printer at high-quality.
