Short: A Modular Image Processing Package
Author: Janne.Jalkanen@iki.fi
Uploader: Janne.Jalkanen@iki.fi
Version: 5.20
Type: gfx/conv
PPT is a powerful, free image processing package, that boasts with the
following properties:
- Handles both 24 bit truecolor and 8 bit grayscale images with optional
alpha channel.
- Modular design, ie. you can easily add new loaders and filters to the
program.
- Internal multi-tasking: You can process/load/save many images at
the same time! No need to wait for another project to be ready!
- Unlimited (except by available memory) buffers!
- Unlimited (except by available disk space) undo!
- User configurable virtual memory (no MMU required)
- AREXX port
- Font sensitive and scalable GUI using Jan van den Baard's and Ian
J. Einman's BGUI package (release 41 needed)
- Quick preview window for fast updates.
- Requires OS 2.0 (V37). Yes, this is a feature :) and uses some
OS 3.0 (V39) features. Takes use of AGA chips if installed. CyberGFX
is also supported!
- Loads following image types:
o IFF ILBM (1-8 bitplanes, HAM6/8, EHB, ILBM 24 bit)
o JPEG/JFIF (both grayscale and 24 bit. Also progressive!)
o PPM/PGM types P2, P3, P5 and P6.
o PNG (all standard types)
o Compuserve GIF (both 87 and 89a formats)
o Targa Truevision (8,15,16,24 and 32 bit formats)
o YUVN
o TIFF
o Anything you have a Datatype for...
- Saves following image types:
o JPEG/JFIF (both grayscale and 24 bit. Also progressive!)
o IFF ILBM (24 bit, 1-8 bitplanes)
o PPM/PGM types P5 and P6
o PNG (grayscale and 24 bit)
o Compuserve GIF (both 87 and 89a formats)
o Targa Truevision (24 bit)
o C-code
- Can do several effects (over 30 effects):
o AutoCrop & Crop
o Flip, Shift, Roll
o Colorspace manipulations
o Convolute (User-definable masks up to 7x7 size supported! Many
example masks included. Saving and loading custom masks.)
o Remove Isolated Pixels
o Histogram Equalization (local & global)
o Brightness, contrast & gamma correction
o Threshold
o Scale & Resize
o Image compositing
o Noise (many variations)
o Color manipulation (ColorMix, ColorChange, Extract)
o and many others...
This is the fourth public release of PPT, code-named "Cauchy-6".
Changes from the C-3 release include:

Version 4.61 (Sunday, 25-Oct-98 22:46:56)
-----------------------------------------
- Added Contrib-directory to the distribution and made PPT seek modules from there
- Info now shows also which CPUs the current effect/iomod supports
Version 4.62 (Sunday, 08-Nov-98 00:53:30)
-----------------------------------------
- Major changes in localization - now it should even be possible... =)
- Bug fix: AREXX IOMODULEINFO did not handle save formats correctly
- AREXX IOMODULEINFO now returns a new stem item: PREFERREDPOSTFIX
- File requesters now remember their positions (if you use Preferences/Save)
- Bug fix: REXX error messages did not arrive correctly, if loading
failed.
Version 4.63 (Friday, 04-Dec-98 23:18:18)
-----------------------------------------
- GIF.iomod 1.6: Fixed bug with certain image types not loading,
but failing with error "EOF detected".
Reported by Detlef Wojtaszkiewicz.
Version 4.64 (Saturday, 05-Dec-98 00:04:28)
-------------------------------------------
- Fixed some visual bugs in the Preferences window (have to start slowly
after a long break... =)
- Implemented new macros for application developers
Version 4.65 (Monday, 07-Dec-98 13:48:59)
-----------------------------------------
- Made toolbar configurable (read/write from preferences file),
but no onscreen config yet. Text only, at the moment.
Version 4.66 (Monday, 07-Dec-98 20:26:35)
-----------------------------------------
- Added Huge preview size and changed the other preview sizes.
Version 4.67 (Monday, 07-Dec-98 20:27:19)

- Interim release Cauchy-4 for a special occasion...
Version 4.68 (Monday, 07-Dec-98 23:56:44)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: list fonts were not set correctly. They would work if you closed PPT
and opened it again, but now they can be set on the fly.
Version 5.0 (Wednesday, 09-Dec-98 22:23:08)
-------------------------------------------
- THE API HAS CHANGED! You must remove any modules you had, since they
do not work anymore with V5. For the technically minded people:
PPTBase moved from a5 to a3, since it was causing problems with GCC.
It was a stupid idea to begin with, I admit. Should've done my
research better...
Version 5.1 (Thursday, 10-Dec-98 23:16:52)
------------------------------------------
- Bitfield 1.3: Added missing REXX template - now this effect works from REXX.
Version 5.2 (Saturday, 12-Dec-98 13:39:18)
------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Initial display mode guess might have been wrong when
using CyberGFX.
Version 5.3 (Sunday, 13-Dec-98 22:10:32)
----------------------------------------
- Added new effect: ColorCount (requested by A. Tolonen)
- Fixed some visual errors with the new BGUI.library
- Added new function in the support library: CloseProgress().
Version 5.4 (Tuesday, 15-Dec-98 23:29:53)
-----------------------------------------
- Added SetRexxVariable() routine to support library.
- Added PPTX_NoChangeFrame tag, and support for it.
Version 5.5 (Wednesday, 16-Dec-98 22:41:47)
-------------------------------------------
- Added Tooltips to tool bar gadgets
- Now displays the zoomed area size on top of the frame window
Version 5.6 (Saturday, 19-Dec-98 00:02:39)
------------------------------------------
- Text.effect v1.1: fixed a number of bugs:
- font requester sample text was not displayed (this is actually
a bug in BGUI, but can be circumvented)
- chip ram trashing fixed
- debugging code disabled
I really hope these fix your problems...
Version 5.7 (Sunday, 20-Dec-98 19:21:36)
----------------------------------------
- Rewrote almost all toolbar handling (it is now almost a proper BGUI class)
- Added new PPT icons courtesy of A. Tolonen (thank you, very much!)
- Release C-5
Version 5.8 (Saturday, 02-Jan-99 19:47:00)
------------------------------------------
- ILBM.iomod v1.6: No longer crashes on bad IFF files. Reported by Detlef Wojtaszkiewicz
Version 5.9 (Saturday, 02-Jan-99 22:40:16)
------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Toolbar window was accidentally closed if you didn't change
toolbar configuration from the preferences window and saved prefs...
- Bug fix: Huge preview size was not correctly read from preferences file.
Reported by Detlef Wojtaszkiewicz.
- Added a shortcut to 'Close Render'. Suggested by Detlef Wojtaszkiewicz.
- Updated copyright info for 1999. It's amazing, isn't it?
Version 5.10 (Lauantai, 02-Tam-99 23:32:47)
---------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: If you called Info on negative, it would display false.
Version 5.11 (Wednesday, 13-Jan-99 23:00:19)
--------------------------------------------
- Bug fix: No longer complains if you select "Process" and after that, Cancel.
- Now you can use the images also in the toolbar.
Version 5.12 (Sunday, 17-Jan-99 15:25:46)
-----------------------------------------
- ColorCount 1.1: Adapts dynamically to low memory situations.
Version 5.13 (Sunday, 17-Jan-99 16:12:47)
-----------------------------------------
- ColorChange 1.7: Didn't quit if PPT was quit.
Version 5.14 (Monday, 18-Jan-99 23:02:25)
-----------------------------------------
- ColorCount 1.2: Grayscale didn't work.
Version 5.15 (Sunday, 14-Feb-99 19:42:01)
-----------------------------------------

change prefs.
- Added support for preview dithering. Requested by several people.
Version 5.16 (Thursday, 18-Feb-99 11:09:54)
-------------------------------------------
- Oops, left some debugging code in. ARGB is now faster again.
Version 5.17 (Saturday, 20-Feb-99 12:21:16)
-------------------------------------------
- For some strange reason, I kept linking with v40.14 of amiga.lib, causing memory
pools to malfunction under OSV37. Apparently there are not very many OS2.x people
left anymore, because nobody complained...
Version 5.18 (Saturday, 20-Feb-99 15:30:03)
-------------------------------------------
- Added support for ordered dithering in rendering.
Version 5.19 (Saturday, 20-Feb-99 22:39:27)
-------------------------------------------
- PPT now has an AppIcon. (Requested by several people, some quite
vocally ;-)
Version 5.20 (Sunday, 21-Feb-99 20:55:21)
-----------------------------------------
- Fixed a multitude of problems with images in toolbar.
- Release Cauchy-6
