This is version 5.0c of EGSPhotoAlbum Professional, the comfortable Shareware
picture management and presentation software for EGS. To use EGSPhotoAlbum
as full version you need a keyfile, which can be obtained by registering
directly by me (see below for registration fees). Without keyfile
EGSPhotoAlbum has some restrictions.
What does EGSPhotoAlbum Professional offer?
-------------------------------------------
EGSPhotoAlbum is a pure EGS program. It offers easy access to large
collections of picture and animation files e.g. on your harddrive or on
CD-ROMs (incl. PhotoCDs) with very high comfort.
The current version supports the following picture/animation file formats:
1) IFF-ILBM (all standard formats 1 to 8Bit, EHB, HAM6, HAM8, 24Bit)
2) JPeg (color and greyscale)
3) PPM/PGM/PBM (P1&P4 b&w, P5 grey, P6 color)
4) QRT (also known as dump format by PD raytracers as POV-Ray)
5) Targa (RLE compr.&uncompr. 24Bit, 1Bit, 8Bit grey/Colormap; incl. interleaved)
6) PCX (compr.&uncompr. EGA1-4Bit, VGA 8Bit grey/Colormap and 24Bit)
7) BMP (uncompr. formats for 24Bit RGB and 1Bit, 4Bit or 8Bit Colormap)
8) TIF (packbit-compr./uncompr. Motorola formats 24Bit RGB, 1-8Bit grey/Colormap)
9) EGS7.x window icons
10) DEEP (compr.&uncompr. IFF-DEEP 24Bit and 32Bit formats)
11) YUV (color 1:1:1, 2:1:1, 4:1:1 and greyscale)
12) VLAB raw (color 1:1:1, 2:1:1, 4:1:1 and greyscale)
13) RGB (IFF-RGB: RGB8 and RGBN compressed; RGB5 uncompressed)
14) HHsYUVSq sequence format (sequential or random access)
15) IFF-PBM (DPII) format
16) ACBM (IFF-ACBM: 1 to 8Bit, EHB, HAM6, HAM8)
17) FBM (8Bit grey/Colormap and 24Bit)
18) Sun raster (uncompressed formats for 1Bit, 8Bit grey/ColorMap and 24Bit)
19) MacPaint (b&w compressed 1Bit format; datafork only)
20) HHsXRL formats (1-8Bit ColorMap incl. HAM6/8, 8Bit grey, 24Bit RGB compressed)
21) PhotoCD (Base format 768x512 or 512x768 (portrait); linear 24Bit RGB)
Additional OS3.x users can load pictures/animations with all:
* Picture DataTypes
* Animation DataTypes
Special note for ImageFX fans: All fast loading functions (except JPeg) are
also available from me in a fast universal loader module for ImageFX for
a small additional charge (demo can be found in the archive fastifxmodules.lha);
you can also order the modules (now including a fast saver module as well)
separately, as they are usable without EGS as well.
EGSPhotoAlbum shows whole directories or even directory trees of
pictures and animations with downscaled preview images automatically.
Special fast loading functions for downscaled loading are used (for animations
the first frame in the file is shown).
* automatic page layout with configurable field size (incl. variable size)
* flexible subtitling of images with file name, file format, image size,
file size, number of frames, file comment, path, ...
* file comment of pictures can be edited (full version)
* Page turning functions to turn the page like in a real PhotoAlbum
* Viewing of pictures in full size by mouse click or double click
(full version); multiple full size picture windows can be open;
fast scrolling and zooming functions
* +++ new +++ Slide-Show presentation function for selected pictures
including spectacular transition effects (presentations can even be
transferred to Video with a Video-Cruncher of Ing.büro Helfrich)
* Comfortable delete function for pictures by visual selection (full version)
* Pictures can be removed from the preview pages
* intelligent caching algorithms and preloading of images during program use
* automatic generation of small preview files (several formats supported,
incl. JPeg) to reduce waiting time for later use; a separate preview
directory can be selected, e.g. for use with CD-ROMs (full version)
* Saving of shown pictures in some other file formats or direct
transfer to other programs (as ImageFX, XiPaint, PicoPainter, ArtEffect or
general to the Clipboard) (only in full version).
This makes EGSPhotoAlbum a comfortable 24Bit picture converter or
easy picture selection front end for other programs...
All this is done with a font sensitive EGS user interface which can be
used even on largest Screens and in full 24Bit color quality.
The keyfile concept offers registered users the possibility to use future
demo versions automatically as update for their full version.
Requirements
------------
* Amiga-OS 2.04 or higher
Amiga-OS 3.0 or higher is needed, if DataTypes should be used for
loading of pictures and animations
* EGS-System version 6.0 or higher for your graphics board or for
Amigas without graphics board (also usable as demo version)
* Much memory (at least 4MByte RAM; more is really recommended to
use EGSPhotoAlbum comfortably; the caching algorithms can use lots
of memory); low memory can lead to problems with the EGS system.
Virtual memory is also usable (e.g. VMM or GigaMem).
Registration
------------
The registration fee for EGSPhotoAlbum Professional is currently 25US$ for
users outside of europe (see registration form for other possible currencies).
Inside europe the registration fee is 30DM (see registration form for
