Short: 24-bit paint package
Author: jasmine@usurper.freeserve.co.uk
Uploader: jasmine@usurper.freeserve.co.uk
Type: gfx/edit
NOTE: The E-mail address has changed (for the 3rd time),
please read the guide.
If you sent a mail to the previous address and did not
receive a reply, try again with this new address.
Requires
guigfx.library
which, in turn requires
render.library
If it doesn't work at first, try running PortraitMode or deleteing
Portrait.prefs.
You may need to play around a bit to get it to work. I`m doing
a major overhaul at the moment which will mean the next version
should be much more stable.
Only this readme has changed, nothing else (this is the same
archive as appeared on the Amiga Format CD).
The program is undergoing a major overhaul at the moment.
V1.4 should be a fair bit more stable. Locale should be
implemented (although no catalogs will be included yet - contact
me if you wish to help with language translations).
Extra tools will be added, eg. clone tool. There is also the
possibility that the provision for multiple canvases will
be implemented for 1.4 - including cut and paste between them,
with feathering, etc.
If you wish to help with development, have any ideas, want to become
a beta-tester for up and coming versions, etc., please E-Mail me.
If you become a beta tester now, you will receive any future version
free of charge, despite their distribution status.
Original readme from V1.3 follows:
Work-in-progress of a 24 bit paint package.
Requirements:
030+ recommended (but not required)
Lots of memory (virtual memory is implemented, but very slow)
AGA? (I haven't tested Portrait with a graphics card yet - but will do soon)
Bug fixes:
Fixed a bug on "Initialising..." (BltClear() was passed the wrong length)
Since when has temprp:=AllocVec(MEMF_CLEAR,0) made sense?
Preferences didn't set CF_USEVMEM as well as CF_FORCEVMEM, hence whenver
"Always use VMEM" was selected, the program bombed out when allocating
the 24-bit buffer.
After allocating VMEM on the initial creation of the canvas, the file
handle was set to NIL, hence Portrait crashed when it tried to clear
the canvas.
New in this version:
Extended VMEM support. You can now save work buffers held in virtual memory.
Now uses guigfx.library for rendering (supports improved zoom handling,
dithering, etc.)
Various other misc. changes
24-bit buffer is now ARGB instead of RGB.
Changes to work buffer file format. (The format WILL change in the future.)
New Datatype for Portrait work buffer files. (In the absence of
external savers/loaders -
coming soon)
JPEG loader (will turn into an external loader+saver in future versions.)
Sorry, I haven't had time to update Portrait for quite a while, so I'm
looking for anyone who would be willing to help with development.
Mail me if you want to be involved with development (or if you wish to do a
non-English locale for Portrait).
