- The 19200 colour mode ( 96 colours per line * 200 lines ) from 32k colours is
- absolutely fantastic! If you haven't see it then find someone with an STE and
- be impressed. At last my STE can do something my mates A500 can't !
-
- I have only two gripes with PhotoChrome 3 and that is it doesnt handle IFF files
- as well as it does GIF files ( ie no squash to fit or display area selection )
- and it can't as yet do JPEG files :(
