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.

PMView offers online help at any time. Press F1 to obtain context sensitive

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. NEW FEATURES in PMView 0.90 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Here is a list of features that are 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.

This quits PMView and returns you to OS/2

The shortcut key for Exit is Ctrl+X.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2. Mode Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

o 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.

o 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.

o 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 3.2.1. View ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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.

Note:  This option is replaced by View/Edit on deep color systems.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2.2. Edit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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 this mode when saving files.

Note:  This option is replaced by View/Edit on deep color systems.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2.3. Slideshow ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will set PMView into Slideshow mode.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3.2. Redo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This command will release the memory used by Undo/Redo


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3.3. Redo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This command will enable or disable the Undo/Redo function. Disabling the Undo
will require less memory for PMView to run.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3.4. Cut ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This command removes the current selection from PMView and puts it on the
clipboard. For 24-bit and grayscale images the removed are will be filled with
black. For 16- and 256-color images it will be the background color (= the
color in palette index 0).

This command toggles whether the the Track Info dialog should be shown when
selecting an area.

The shortcut key for Track Info is Ctrl+T.

Related information:

o Track Info dialog.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3.9. 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 3.3.10. 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 3.4. Transform Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The functions in the Transform menu are used to change the pixel orientation
and size of an image. The QuickDither option can be used to create bitmaps for
the WPS desktop background.

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

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

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

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4.1. Mirror ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

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

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

o Diagonal turns the image upside down.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4.1.1. 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 3.4.1.2. 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 3.4.1.3. 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 3.4.2. Rotate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

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

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

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

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4.2.1. 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 3.4.2.2. 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 3.4.2.3. 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 3.4.2.4. 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 3.4.3. Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This lets you change the actual size of the image.

o 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.

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

o 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.

o 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 3.4.4. Filter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This opens the Select Filter dialog.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Select Filter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This lets you apply a filter on your image.

o OK applies the currently selected filter on the image.

o Cancel exits without changes to the image.

o New lets you create a new filter.

o Edit lets you edit the currently selected filter.

o Delete deletes the currently selected filter.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Edit Filter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This dialog lets you edit your own filter. Note that you can only edit filters
that are less 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.

o Filter Name The name of the filter.

o Filter Weights The matrix of filter weights.

o 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).

o 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.

o 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 less 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 3.5. Color Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

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

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

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

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

o Negative inverts the colors in your image.

o 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.

Related information:

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.1. 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.

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

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

o 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:

o Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.2. 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 brightness,
contrast, and saturation.

o Red adjusts the amount of red in your image.

o Green adjusts the amount of green in your image.

o Blue adjusts the amount of blue in your image.

Related information:

o Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.3. 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.

Related information:

o Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.4. 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.

o Threshold Set the value 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 127 are left unchanged.

o Mode

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

Related information:

o Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.5. 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:

o Example of using the color adjustment tools.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.6. 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 less.

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.7. Convert to ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

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

o Grayscale will convert your image to shades of gray.

o 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.

o 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.

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

Related information:

o Example of creating an OS/2 background bitmap.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.7.1. 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 3.5.7.2. Grayscale ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will convert your image to shades of gray.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.7.3. Indexed 16-Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

Palette

   o Adaptive This will select the 16 best colors for the image. The palette
     generated for the image is optimized and unique for this image.
   o 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.
   o 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

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

Related information:

o Example of creating an OS/2 background bitmap.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.7.4. Indexed 256-Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

Palette

   o Adaptive This will select the 256 best colors for the image. The palette
     generated for the image is optimized and unique for this image.
   o 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.
   o 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.
   o 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.
   o 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

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


   o 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.

Related information:

o Example of creating an OS/2 background bitmap.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5.7.5. 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 3.5.8. 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:

   o If your system has less than 256 colors, use Method #2
   o If your system don't have palette manager, use Method #1
   o If it is important that the background bitmap looks good also when an
     application that uses palette manager is running, use Method #2
   o If you want the best possible colors, use Method #1
   o 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 3.5.9. 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:

o Load a color image of your choise.
o Turn on grayscale. You'll now have a black and white image.
o 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.
o Finally you can adjust brightness and contrast to match your personal taste.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.6. View Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Choosing this will redraw the image in the window. You may want to do this if
(for whatever reason) the image gets corrupted.

The shortcut key for Refresh is F5.

Note:  Under OS/2 2.0, there was a screen driver bug that would corrupt the
image when a menu dropped down on it; that bug has been thankfully fixed in
OS/2 2.1.

o Thumbnails...

FOC image popup menu commands:

o Open...
o Rename...
o Delete...
o Thumbnail...


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.1. FOC Popup Menu Commands ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

FOC popup menu commands:

o View...
o Refresh...
o Select...
o Sort...
o Scramble...
o Thumbnails...


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.1.1. View ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

o 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.

o 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.

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

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

o Flowed Images are displayed in rows.

o Non-flowed Images are displayed in a single column.

o Detail All available information is displayed for each image.

o 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 4.1.1.2. 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 4.1.1.3. Select ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

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

o 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 4.1.1.4. 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:

o Name Images are sorted by filename.
o Type Images are sorted by file type (i.e., file extension)
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o File Size Images are sorted by how much disk space they take up.
o Date and Time Images are sorted by their date and time stamps, from oldest to
  newest
o 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 4.1.1.5. Scramble ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.1.6. Thumbnails ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These commands determine thumbnail options:

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

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

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

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.2. FOC Image Popup Menu Commands ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

FOC image popup menu commands:

o Open...
o Info...
o Rename...
o Delete...
o Thumbnail...


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.2.1. Open ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will load the selected image(s).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.2.2. Info ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will open up the File Info dialog that gives you detailed information on
the selected image(s).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.2.3. Rename ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will let you rename the selected file. The edit window will only be opened
for the current file if multiple files are selected.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.2.4. Delete ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will delete the selected file(s) from disk.

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

The shortcut key for Delete is Delete.

OS/2 setting on the Confirmations page of the System object located in the OS/2
System Setup folder.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.2.6. Convert to ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This will convert the selected file(s) to the selected format. The conversion
will be done as a background task, i.e. you can continue working with PMView
while your images are converted.

The save options selected in the File Save Dialog will be used when converting
the files.

You can convert to the following formats:

o Bitmap (BMP,DIB,RLE)...
o Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)...
o JPEG File Interchange Format (JIF,JPG)...
o ZSoft Paintbrush Format (PCX)...
o PC Paint/Pictor Format (PIC)...
o PMView Slideshow File Format (SHW)...

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1.3. Fonts and Background Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can change the background color in the File Open Container by dragging the
desired color from OS/2's Color Palette.

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 4.1.4. 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 4.2. Open File Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This entry field has several functions:

       as possible to the currently selected depth. For instance, if you
       currently have selected Indexed 256-Color and you're saving a file in
       TGA format, the file will be saved as an 8-bit TGA. However, if you
       select RGB Deep Color the file will be saved as a 24-bit TGA. Files
       saved in a format like PCX that support 1, 2 and 4-bit data will be
       saved with the smallest number of bits possible. I.e. PMView will
       optimize your files for size and make them as small as possible.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.7. Save ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select Save to save the current file


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.8. Cancel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> No save format selected ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You have not selected a format in which the current image should be saved.
Select the desired format from the Save Format list.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Bitmap Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These options determine how PMView saves Bitmap files.

o 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.

o 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> GIF Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

No options have been implemeted for this format yet.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> JPEG Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These options determine how PMView saves JPEG files.

o 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.

o 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.

o 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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> ZSoft PCX Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

No options have been implemeted for this format yet.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> PC Paint/Pictor Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

o 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> PC Paint/Pictor Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These options determine how PMView saves PPM files.

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Truevision TGA Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These options determine how PMView saves TGA files.

o 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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> TIFF Save Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These options determine how PMView saves TIFF files.

o File Format 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 <hidden> Color depth too large ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The number of colors in the image that you're trying to save is larger than
what is allowed for the format you've selected. Please select another format if
you don't want to lose color infomation. Otherwise, select Convert to form the
Color menu and convert the image to 256 colors or less.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Confirm Save ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You have made changes to the image since it was last saved.

o Select Yes to save the changes.
o Select No to discard all changes made to the image.
o Select Cancel to cancel this command.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1.1.1. 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.

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

o Revert will revert to the file on disk, which means any changes you had made
  to it (or your view of it) are lost.

o 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.

o 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.

o Delete will delete the currently displayed

o Close will close the current slideshow. image.

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1.1.2. Mode Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

o 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.

o 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.

o 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 6.1.1.3. 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.

o Zoom lets you zoom in or out on your image.

o Full Screen makes PMView use the whole desktop.

o Fit Image sizes the window to fit the image.

o Refresh redraws the image in the window.

o Show Menu toggles the menu bar.

o Show Controller toggles the slideshow controller.

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1.1.4. Help Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

o Help Contents brings up the help contents list

o General Help gives you a brief description of PMView.

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

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

o Image Information gives you various statistics about your current image.

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

o About PMView displays product information about PMView.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1.1.5. View Slides ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This determines how images are shown in the Slideshow Container.

o 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.

o 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.

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

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

o Flowed Images are displayed in rows.

o Non-flowed Images are displayed in a single column.

o Detail All available information is displayed for each image.

o 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 6.1.1.6. 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 6.1.1.7. Select ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

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

o 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 6.1.1.8. 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:

o Name Images are sorted by filename.
o Location Images are sorted by their full path, that is, their location on
  disk.
o Type Images are sorted by file type (i.e., file extension)
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o File Size Images are sorted by how much disk space they take up.
o Date and Time Images are sorted by their date and time stamps, from oldest to
  newest
o 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.

Settings, and select the settings you want to copy.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.4. 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

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

   o 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.

   o 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).

   o 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).

   o 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 7. Options Notebook ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

o View...
o Full Screen...
o Window...
o Loading...
o Directory...
o Extensions...
o Palette...
o Color...
o Photo CD...
o Slideshow...
o Special...
o Confirmations...
o Logo...


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1. View ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

o 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.

o 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 7.2. Full Screen ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

o 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.

o 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.

o 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.

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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.3. Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Automatically adjust window size and position

   o 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.

   o 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

   o Never
   o When required
   o 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 7.4. Loading ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Loading/Startup options

   o Startup minimized (iconized)
   o Normal
   o 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.

Progress indicator options

   o Never show progress indicator
   o Hide when PMView is started with a filename
   o Always show progress indicator

These options decide the visibility of the progress indicator, that sliding bar
that some people love and some people hate. Select the first option if you hate
seeing it, select the last if you like seeing it. If you select the second
option, PMView will display the progress indicator except when you first start
up with a filename on the command line.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.5. Directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

On this page you can type the paths for the default load directory (where
PMView will initially go the first time you do a File Open) and the default
save directory (where PMView will save files by default).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.6. 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.

o Predefined file types and filters


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.7. 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.

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

o 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.

o 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.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.8. Color ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

o Color rendering options

   These options will depend on your system configuration.

   Please double-click your configuration below:

      - 256 color systems with Palette Manager
      - 256 color systems
      - Systems with less than 256 colors
      - Deep Color Systems


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Color rendering options - Systems with Palette Manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

Palette

   o Adaptive This will select the best colors for the image.
   o System This will only use colors in OS/2's system palette.
   o 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.
   o 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.
   o 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

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


   o 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 <hidden> Color rendering options - Systems with less than 256 colors ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

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

Palette

   o Adaptive This will select the 16 best colors for the image and hand over
     the final color selection to OS/2. Since OS/2's color selection is crude,
     the image won't look good.
   o System This will use the 16 fixed colors in OS/2's system palette.
   o 2-2-2 levels This will use a standard 2-2-2 level fixed palette, that is,
     a palette with 2 intensity levels for each color component
     (Red,Green,Blue).

Dither

   o None The colors will be selected on best match basis. The color error is

   o Ordered Ordered dithering is used to compensate the error. Ordered
     dithering can only be used with the 2-2-2 level palette.
   o Diffusion Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion dithering is used to compensate
     the color error.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Color rendering options - Deep Color systems ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The options are disabled since images don't need to be converted in Deep Color
mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.9. Photo CD ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These options are for use with Photo CD images.

Default resolution

   o 192 x 128
   o 384 x 256
   o 768 x 512
   o 1536 x 1024
   o 3072 x 2048
   o 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.

o 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 7.10. Slideshow ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This lets you configure the different settings for slideshows.

Page 1 - Slideshow Settings

o 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).

o 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).

o 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.

o 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

o 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.

o 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 7.11. Special ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

o 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.

o 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.

o 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!


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.12. Confirmations ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

o 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.

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

o 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 7.13. 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.

o Don't display logo Press this if you don't want to see the About dialog when
  you start PMView.

o Display logo for nn seconds This lets you set the time for how long the About
  dialog is displayed when you start PMView (1...65 seconds).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. 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:

o Bitmap (BMP,DIB,RLE)...
o Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)...
o Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)...
o JPEG File Interchange Format (JIF,JPG)...
o Kodak Photo-CD (PCD)...
o ZSoft Paintbrush Format (PCX)...
o PC Paint/Pictor Format (PIC)...
o PBMPlus File Format (PBM,PGM,PPM)...
o PMView Slideshow File Format (SHW)...
o Truevision Targa Format (TGA)...
o Tagged Interchange File Format (TIF)...

Formats that can be written:

o Bitmap (BMP,DIB,RLE)...
o Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)...
o JPEG File Interchange Format (JIF,JPG)...
o ZSoft Paintbrush Format (PCX)...
o PC Paint/Pictor Format (PIC)...
o PBMPlus File Format (PBM,PGM,PPM)...
o PMView Slideshow File Format (SHW)...
o Truevision Targa Format (TGA)...
o Tagged Interchange File Format (TIF)...

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).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.1. 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 GIF 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 GIF, 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

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.2. 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 8.3. 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 less.

This format is suitable as a generalized format for image exchange, though the
color information limit in the format may require you to choose 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


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.4. 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 5.0.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.5. 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

the huffman tables and may therefore differ from the size reported by other
programs.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.6. 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 GIF, 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 8.7. 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 GIF, 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 8.8. PBMPlus File Format (PBM,PGM,PPM) 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 GIF, TIFF or JPEG for this purpose.

The default extension is PPM. Note! This extension is normally only used for
PBMPlus files of type P3 and P6 (see thechnical specs below). However, PMView
defaults to always and only use PPM as extension. If you need to use PBM (P1
and P4) and PGM (P2 and P5) as extensions, please configure the extensions in
the options notebook.

PMView will automatically detect if your image is Black/White, Grayscale or
Full Color and save the image in the appropriate PBMPlus format (P1/P2/P3 or
P4/P5/P6 if the Rawdata option is set).

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:

      o A "magic number" for identifying the file type. A pbm file's magic
        number is the two characters "P1".
      o Whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, LFs).
      o A width, formatted as ASCII characters in decimal.
      o Whitespace.
      o A height, again in ASCII decimal.
      o Whitespace.
      o Width * height bits, each either '1' or '0', starting at the top-left
        corner of the bitmap, proceding in normal English reading order.
      o The character '1' means black, '0' means white.
      o Whitespace in the bits section is ignored.
      o Characters from a "#" to the next end-of-line are ignored (comments).
      o 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

   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 setting the RAWBITS
   option at compile time. This variant is different in the following ways:

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

   PGM - Portable Graymap File Format

   DESCRIPTION

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

      o A "magic number" for identifying the file type. A pgm file's magic
        number is the two characters "P2".
      o Whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, LFs).
      o A width, formatted as ASCII characters in decimal.
      o Whitespace.
      o A height, again in ASCII decimal.
      o Whitespace.
      o The maximum gray value, again in ASCII decimal.
      o Whitespace.
      o 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.
      o Characters from a "#" to the next end-of-line are ignored (comments).
      o No line should be longer than 70 characters.

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

      P2
      # feep.pgm
      24 7
      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  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 setting the RAWBITS
   option at compile time. This variant is different in the following ways:

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

   Note that this raw format can only be used for maxvals less 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:

      o A "magic number" for identifying the file type. A ppm file's magic
        number is the two characters "P3".
      o Whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, LFs).
      o A width, formatted as ASCII characters in decimal.
      o Whitespace.
      o A height, again in ASCII decimal.
      o Whitespace.
      o The maximum color-component value, again in ASCII decimal.
      o Whitespace.
      o 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.
      o Characters from a "#" to the next end-of-line are ignored (comments).
      o 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  0  0    0  0  0    0  0  0   15  0 15
       0  0  0    0 15  7    0  0  0    0  0  0
       0  0  0    0  0  0    0 15  7    0  0  0
      15  0 15    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 pixmap.

   There is also a variant on the format, available by setting the RAWBITS
   option at compile time. This variant is different in the following ways:

      o The "magic number" is "P6" instead of "P3".
      o The pixel values are stored as plain bytes, instead of ASCII decimal.
      o Whitespace is not allowed in the pixels area, and only a single
        character of whitespace (typically a newline) is allowed after the
        maxval.
      o The files are smaller and many times faster to read and write.

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

   BeginImage
      FileName      D:\ss\image1.jif
      ShowInfo      Yes
      Information   "Demo slideshow"
   EndImage
   BeginImage
      FileName      D:\ss\image2.jif

      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 8.10. 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:

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

Supported Targa file descriptors:

   o Image orientation: Top, Bottom, Left, Right
   o Raster format: Interlaced, Non-interlaced


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.11. 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:

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

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

Technical Information

   o Both Intel and Motorola byte orders are handled.
   o 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, PMView 0.90 now 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 10. Command-line flags ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

There are 19 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.

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 11. 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 12. Questions & Answers ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Select one of the following:

o General Q&A
o File Open Container Q&A
o Slideshow Q&A


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 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 13. How to Report Bugs 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 quasi floating 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 PMView 0.90.

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. For instance, one of our
    testers mentions that the ATI GUP will get corrupted if you turn
    GpiDrawBits on, Zoom, and then scroll. The screen will stay corrupted until
    you go to a DOS full screen session and back.

    Screen Bugs Under Warp

    The drivers for the IBM ThinkPad 755 cause thumbnails to be painted in
    reverse, like film negatives. We are trying to work around this for our
    next release.

    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 the 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 14. 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 15. 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.

To register PMView, send your name and $40 to one of the addresses below. You
can order more than one registration at a time; you must send one name for each
registration.

PMView on a floppy

If you need to, you can order a copy of the current version of PMView on a
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
one of the addresses below.

How do I send my order?

If you have e-mail access to the Internet, please send us a note saying what
you want to order. After we acknowledge your e-mail, send us your payment.

If you don't have e-mail access to the Internet, send your name (or several
names, if you are ordering several registrations), address, and check to one of
the paper mail addresses below.

Where do I send my order?

IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE AND CAN SEND CASH OR A EUROCHEQUE, then please
contact Peter Nielsen. His e-mail address is [e-mail]. His
paper-mail address is

o Why Register ?


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. 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).


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Limited Warranty ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Peter Nielsen does not warrant that PMView will meet your requirements or that
its operation will be uninterrupted or error free. In no event will Peter
Nielsen's liability for any damages to you or any other person ever exceed the
registration fee that was paid to Peter Nielsen.

Peter Nielsen SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
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
OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may
not apply to you.

BETA VERSION NOTE: The particulars of how you register may be different in the
final, non-beta version of PMView.

Image Size

   Use the Width or Height control to set the desired size of the image. Note
   that PMView is able to split the image on several pages 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 desired unit of measurement; millimeters, inches, or percent of page
   size.

Printer Gamma

   This control lets you adjust the printer gamma. You may need this if your
   image printout is too bright or dark. Values below one (1) makes the image
   darker, values above one makes it brighter.

Press Print to print the file.
