Welcome to the definitive high-powered black and white imaging package.
Welcome to INVISION Elite.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this demonstration version
of INVISION Elite. Please take the time to read the rest of this file
as it will enhance your experience with the program.
INVISION Elite requires a monochrome monitor of any size. One
megabyte of memory is recommended for serious use.
To start using the program, simply double click on the INVIDEMO.PRG
icon. Be sure to watch closely as the program loads!
Once loaded, please press the Help key, or select "Help" from the
File menu. This will bring up a dialogue box. Select the second icon
(miniature screen shot), below the picture of the keyboard. This will
load the on-line help, which will explain how to use INVISION's
interface.
This interface contains the standard GEM features, and in addition,
has its own custom features specifically designed to eliminate
confusion and promote speed. This means one can spend more time
having fun creating and less time struggling with the program.
Once you are ready start working, you must either load a picture
(there are a few included with the demo) or create a new picture. Both
of these options are available under the File menu. Choose either to
get started.
Once you have experimented with the program a little, you will no
doubt be interested in seeing some of the more exotic features. Here
is a brief list of some of the ones you won't want to miss.
- Gradient fills and Gradient ellipses
- Image distorting
- Image bending
- Custom patterns
- Instant access panning (scrolling)
- Multiple windows
- Bezier curves
- Block masking
- Outlining
- Smoothing
- Rotation, Skewing, Scaling, and Flipping
- Atari clipboard support
- Multitasking support (works properly with desk accessories)
- Unlimited size color .GIF importing
- Built-in font editing and styling
- GDOS font support
The results from some of these functions are shown in the
EXAMPLES.IMG file.
