- Description:
- _____________
-
- QuickSilver ReTouch is a Windows Shareware Program for digital
- image processing.
- The application doesn't have any restrictions of functionality
- and supports color depth up to 24-Bit TrueColor. On reduced
- color depth, ReTouch operates with a dithering technique
- (optionally with or without 'error diffusion'). With the
- 'Drag&Drop' method of the file manager, you can directly
- load images and play AVI-Videos using the mouse. The inte-
- grated 'ScreenShot' module enables ReTouch to capture the
- Windows Desktop (resp. single windows or areas).
- The application is capable to exchange marked areas in DIB
- format with the clipboard. Paste options offer a variety
- of image combinations, such as SUB,ADD,MUL,MIN,MAX,OR and
- weighted combination.
- With the integrated MORPHING module, you can compute Video
- clips in the background, recorded and played back using the
- AVI format (Audio Video Interlaced by Video for Windows).
- The usual image transformations (Gamma correction, scaling,
- color reduction a.s.o.) operate with qualifying options (RGB-
- channel, interpolation, error diffusion).
- In the ToolBox window, you select drawing tools and the pre-
- view area lets you estimate the effect of color functions.
- You can also select the current image filter or adjust the
- display area with zoomed images.
- The Windows Online Help offers a context sensitive and
- detailed description for all of the ReTouch functions.
-
- With ReTouch you can:
-
- - print an image on a Windows printer,
- - acquire an image from a TWAIN device,
- - combine the contents of the clipboard with an image,
- - display an image with different resolution (zoom),
- - change the size of an image (scale),
- - turn an image in steps of 90 degrees,
- - rotate an image by a desired angle,
- - apply a digital filter on the image,
- - increase or decrease the color depth of an image,
- - make a Gamma correction of the image,
- - set color, brightness, and contrast like a television,
- - change the weight of each color component (RGB),
- - separately adjust the contrast specifically,
- - get additional color information and transformation,
- - create ScreenShots from the Windows Desktop,
- - color each pixel with the current drawing color,
- - quadratic area filtering using the filter cursor.
-
- Following image formats are supported:
-
- - BMP all color depths
- - GIF 2-256 colors
- - HIC 32k colors
- - TGA 16M colors
- - JPG 16M colors (or 256 gray shades)
