\{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t \} saves files in 22 different file and render
formats. These formats include 24-bit IFF/ILBM, 24-bit TRIM, Amiga Render,
HAM-E Render, DCTV Render, Color Separations, GIF, BMP, Clipboard, Toaster
Framestores, Hotlinks: Publish, Hotlinks: Update, I-raw, JFIF/JPEG, PCX,
PMBC, RAW, Rendition, RGB8, Targa, TIFF, and Vista Binary Altitude file
format. The list below contains information about some of the formats which
have special options or limitations.
\{ \ts b 24-bit IFF/ILBM: \} This file format is a standard that is
supported and officially defined by \{ \ts i Commodore \} . \{ \ts b
Imagemaster R/t \} saves 24 bit IFF files \{ \ts i without \} \{ \ts b CLUT
\} (Color Look Up Tables) chunks in the files. The \{ \ts b CLUT \} will
cause the bitmap data in the file to not reflect the actual image data. \{
\ts b Imagemaster R/t \} will load files with \{ \ts b CLUTs \} correctly,
but when they are saved the \{ \ts b CLUT \} will be deleted. You will not
be able to alter the output resolution for IFF images. These images should
be in the desired resolution before saving. You can alter an image's
resolution using the \{ \ts b Clipping \} options in the \{ \ts b Process \}
panel.
\{ \ts b 24-bit TRIM: \} \{ \ts b TRIM \} is a lossless 24-bit compression
method and file saver. \{ \ts b TRIM\} , on average, will give you twice the
compression of an \{ \ts b IFF24\} with no image information loss. You will
not be able to alter the output resolution for TRIM images. These images
should be in the desired resolution before saving. You can alter an image's
resolution using the \{ \ts b Clipping \} options in the \{ \ts b Process \}
panel.
\{ \ts b Amiga Render: \} The Amiga Render mode will render all output in the
designated format. The format can be altered by entering the \{ \ts b Set
Save Options \} panel, and then selecting the desired rendering method.
This includes choices for the \{ \ts b mode \} - \{ \ts i Register, Extra Half
Brite, \ts n and \ts i HAM \} modes, resolution, bit plane depth, palette
depth, and whether the screen is in Interlaced or Non-Interlaced mode. You
will also have the option to alter the \{ \ts b Set Palette \} and \{ \ts b Set Dither
Type \} controls to create very specific rendering method.
If you would like to see an example of the \{ \ts b Set Amiga Render mode\}
function, on the current primary buffer, \{ \ts b \tc 15 \rexxlink "Press Here" "imdoc:rexx/render.rexx"\} .
\{ \ts b HAM-E Render: \} The HAM-E render allows you to specify rendering
methods which range from Black & White luma to full color 24-bit. The
rendering mode is set in the \{ \ts b Set Save Options \} panel. You also
have the option of altering the output resolution, palette, and dither type.
\{ \ts b DCTV Render: \} The DCTV rendering mode allows you to create both 3
and 4 bit plane DCTV images. The rendering mode is set in the \{ \ts b Set
Save Options \} panel. You are limited to resolutions between 640x200 and
736x482.
\{ \ts b Color Separations: \} \{ \ts b Imagemaster R/t \} has full color
separations for \{ \ts i RGB, CMY, \ts n and \ts i CMYK \} . This is
available for both 12 and 24 bit images. This tool is very flexible and you
may save multiple control settings for all your color separation needs.
Color separations are a positive value, therefore where the most color
appears on the screen will be the area on the paper where there is the \{ \ts
i most \} ink. If a color map is used the image will appear in the selected
color separation where the paper is white, and black where it is a maximum of
the color selected.
\{ \ts b Toaster Framestores: \} Toaster Framestores \{ \ts i must \} be
saved in the standard Toaster resolution. This can be set by altering the \{
\ts b Set Save Size \} control to create a framestore which is 752x480.
Creating Framestores which are not this size can result in files which appear
corrupt.
