Required hardware ----------------- For working with ArtStudio you must have an AMIGA computer including hard disc and at least Kickstart V2.0 with Workbench 2.1. Your hard disc should be large enough and you should have at least 10 MB disc space free. For the RAM it counts as a rule: "The more the better". The really needed memory depends on individually using by the user. See following examble: - A picture in 800 * 600 in 24 bit (approx. 16,8 Mill. colours) needs 1,440,000 bytes memory (approx. 1,37 MB). - Further examble: A picture in 1280 * 1024 in 24 bit needs 3,932,160 bytes (approx. 3,75 MB). You can see each picture needs several big memory blocks. But for the normal users 4 MB FastRAM and 1 MB ChipRAM are enough. We recommend 8 MB FastRAM and 2 MB ChipRAM for working with other programs at the same time. We recommend a graphic board or an AMIGA computer with AGA graphic chip set but they are not necessary for working with ArtStudio. Required software ----------------- For working with ArtStudio you need the Workbench 2.1 or higher versions. When using lower versions it could happens any mistakes or system crashes and you will lose your datas. AMIGA computer with included older system software are able for updating with hardware and software upgrades, please ask your Amiga dealer near you. @ENDNODE @NODE "InstallationText" "Installieren von ArtStudio" @TOC "MAIN" Installation of ArtStudio ============================= For installing ArtStudio on your hard disc please do the following steps: - Start your AMIGA if not happened yet. - Insert the ArtStudio-CD into your CD-Rom drive when the Workbench appears. After this insert the ArtStudio 2.5 disc in your floppy drive double-click on the discicon. - You can see the contents of the ArtStudio-Disc also the icon called "ArtStudio_Install" which you start with a double click, too. - Now the installer window appears which ask you for the directory in which you like to install ArtStudio. ArtStudio creates a drawer named "ArtStudio" automatically. - Please let the adjustments in this condition. - Click on "OK" button. - The installation will be taken automatically. - Please type in your name and registration-number when the window appears. If you don`t do that step ArtStudio would not start after the installations. - After ending of installing you can start ArtStudio with a double click on the ArtStudio icon. HAVE BIG FUN! @ENDNODE @NODE "Einf hrungMain" "Einf hrung in ArtStudio" @TOC "MAIN" Introduction ============ Here you will know the basics of handling with the AMIGA computer in order to work successful with ArtStudio. Moreover it follows a "tour" through the ArtStudio program. Before you start working... -------------------------- We suppose that you know your AMIGA and also: - you are at home in your workbench, - you control all functions of your mouse (clicking, double clicking, pressing and pulling), - you can move correctly on your screen / windows also by using the sliders, - you can choose the functions from the menues / dialogue fields. If you don't control these basic-functions you should read the documentation of your AMIGA computer. For advance working with ArtStudio we recommend fundamental knowings in using "ARexx". How you can help yourself ------------------------- If you have any problems with ArtStudio please read this hand book first. Think about the problem occured and the functions which don't want to work as you have expected. Look into your hand book. The table of contents and the index will support you in your intention. Was it not successful please take care if any program works parallelly caused a misfunction (perhaps a graphic program or other softwares). If you are convinced of discovering a defect or a bug caused by ArtStudio please contact our technical service. Please note that you must be registered first before you can use the technical service. A "tour" through ArtStudio ========================== Now we are starting our "tour" through ArtStudio. Please note the keyboard shortcuts because we mention only the buttons / menue points. The using of the keyboard shortcuts saves a lot of time. How to start ArtStudio ---------------------- Before start working you must start ArtStudio, of course. You start the program exactly like other AMIGA programs: Open the drawer where ArtStudio is included and do a double click on the ArtStudio symbol, the icon named "ArtStudio". How to create a new catalogue ---------------------------- The catalogue is the file which includes all datas about your picture collection to manage. Before beginning to put pictures into your data base you must create another new catalogue. You open a window with the menue point "Cataloge->New" and there you fix the default mode of the new catalogue. Stamp size ---------- It indicates the size of the miniature pictures which are showed in the picture window. Let the setted adjustment in this condition or choose a size you like. Colours ------- Here you specify the miniature picture are showed in colour or in greyscales. If you are working with an AMIGA computer with ECS chip set (every Computer but the AMIGA 1200/4000 models) and you have not installed a graphic board it is only possible to work with 16 greyscales, 16 colours or in HAM6 mode. In the HAM6 mode the screen must have a size at least 640 x 256 which functions only with Autoscroll. Base name --------- Here you state the name of the file. The name will be indicated in the information part of the ArtStudio window. After choosing of "Create New" you can enter the path and the name into the following filerequester in which your new catalogue should be saved. If you confirm your choose the catalogue will be created and you can start with the loading of your pictures. Loading pictures and directories -------------------------- Before loading pictures and scanning directories you should state the loading module on the preference window in order to recognize your pictures correctly. The better way is to use the "Universal" loading module which recognizes automatically the graphic format to load and starts the belonging loading module. Catalog a single picture ------------------------------ All preparations are finished and we can begin now to catalogue pictures. First we want to show you how to read separate pictures. Click on the menue point "Cataloge->OPEN". It comes a filerequester in which you enter the path where your pictures are. Is this case the ArtStudio-CD in the directory "Images". Now we are choosing the picture "Skyline.jpg" and confirming with the "Load" button. ArtStudio is reading and converting the picture what can take a little time depending on the power of your Amiga. After successful working the picture "Skyline.jpg" should appear in the picture window. It's possible to search for pictures in the whole directory because that is far too much trouble to read each picture separately. Reading of one directory ---------------------------- The reading of whole directories saves a lot of time and efforts. The computer can work alone and we can drink a cup of coffee comfortable. Now we want to let searching for pictures in one directory without to take into consideration further subdirectories (tree scans). Here it is important that you turn off the button "Tree scan" in the preferences of ArtStudio thus the searching for tree scans will be stopped. Now we click the menue point "Catalogue->OPEN", in the filerequester we choose the ArtStudio-CD and then the directory "Images/Summer". Please pay attention that you have not chosen file names because then it will be read only one picture again. After confirming with the "OK" button the directory will be scanned shortly and the converting will be started. If you do the things all right then it should appear now 2 pictures more in the picture window provided that the picture window is big enough for showing the pictures. If you have 5 pictures in your cata- logue then you have not turned off the button "Tree scan" in the pre- ferences->MISC. The reading of one directory incl. tree scans --------------------------------------------- It's the mostly used feature for reading pictures. If you would like to search for pictures on the complete CD-Rom or harddisc then you must turn on the button "tree scan" in the preferences of ArtStudio what makes it possible the reading of tree scans. If you do so click on the menue point "Catalogue->OPEN". If our path has not been chosen so we will do it again by choosing the ArtStudio-CD. Now we choose the directory "Images/Summer" and confirm the application with the "OK" button again. You should pay attention that you have not chosen a file name because one picture will be loaded again. The requester ask you what is to do with the existing picture because you have read now 2 of the 4 pictures. You can choose between the buttons "Do It", "Do All", "Skip All", "Skip". We click on the button "Skip All" by that the existing pictures will not converted again. Further informations about the requester you will find in the GUI description. Now you should have 5 pictures in your catalogue. If you cannot see all pictures please extend the picture window or use the cursor key in order to watch the non-visible pictures. Watching pictures ----------------- You know how to read pictures so we want to show you how you can view the pictures. If you choose the menue point "Images->Zoom" you can see the same picture 2times extended by a simply mouse click. You can decide according to preferences if you want more quality or more speed. Please read also "GUI description". All users with graphic boards who working with CyberGFX have the possibility to vary the size of the zoomwindow. Of course in 24 bit, For lots of people the zoom function is not enough so we have made it possible to watch the pictures in full size and great colours. Before we come to this point we should choose the needed viewermodule in the preferences first. You will decide for one of the offered viewermodules according to the configuration of your computer. If you have an AMIGA with ECS chip set but without graphic board then you should decide for "ECS_HAM" (colour) or "ECS_GREY" (greyscales). If you have a graphic board which controls the AGA emulation you can also use the viewermodules "AGA_HAM" or "AGA_GREY" which bring about a considerable increase of quality of the showed pictures. Drivers are available for special boards. Please use the viewermodule which meets the name of the graphic board. Now we come to the showing of the pictures. Please choose the menu point "Images->VIEW" first that points to the program that by choosing of one of the miniature pictures in the window the belonging picture will be showed. If it not so then an error has occured. Was the switch in the preferences turned on "Loader Error" and "Pic Warn" then appears an error information which shows us the mistake. The most frequently mistakes are: - Not enough free memory, - You have chose the wrong loading module, - You have chose the wrong viewer module. Everyone who don't like the ArtStudio-viewer has 2 further possibilities to let show the pictures. First you can use external viewers or second you have the script language "ARexx" which offers you a lot of possibilities. Hereby we guarantee that later graphic boards and/or viewer programs can be supported. If you don't know much about "ARexx" please apply to MotionStudios (provided that you are registered) and we will try to meet your wishes. Now we want to describe briefly how you can put your own external viewers into the program: - Click on the menue point "ArtStudio->Preferences->EXTERNAL VIEWERS". - Please choose which graphic format should get an external viewer. - Please choose your needed viewer by clicking on the "Get File" button (left by the string gadget). - You can state certainly adjustments to your viewer if you would like to do this. - You type the initials "%s" (standing for the path and the name of the picture) at this place where the viewer expects the file name. Please see also "handing-over parameters". - Now you must still switch the button left by the string gadgets. - Moreover you must switch on the main switch which counts for every external viewers. Sorting ------- ArtStudio offers you the possibility to sort your catalogue into 8 several categories because the readed pictures will not laying in assorted form. In order to sort a catalogue we click on the menue point "Images->Sort". According to your choice the catalogue will be sorted into the following categories: - Name Names of the pictures. - Path Path of the pictures on the data medium. - Picture depth Picture depth or known as number of the colours. - Resolution The size of the picture which will be sorted first to the width and then to the height. - Date Creation-date of the original picture. - Stamp date Creation-date of the miniature picture. - Graphic format Sorting to several graphic formats. - Length Length of the original picture on the data medium. Now you can sort your catalogue as you like by simply clicking on one of the 8 menue points. We want to sort by names of the pictures and use the "Name" menue point. The catalogue will be sorted and new saved in order to find the file sorted again when we start once more. Please read also the point "Sorting windows" in chapter "Worktop description". Cover the function keys with ARexx scripts ---------------------------------------------- It's very interesting to cover the function keys with ARexx programs by that you can export pictures into other programs quickly and simply or you can configure the complete preferences of ArtStudio as you like or you can drive external viewers etc. At first we want to lay an ARexx script on the function key "F10". Please open the ARexx macro window by clicking on the menue point "ArtStudio-ARexx Macros". Where "F10" is mentioned you enter the path and the name of the ARexx script or you click on the "Get File" button which opens a filerequester with this we can search for the wanted ARexx script. In this case we are looking for the path "ArtStudio:Rexx/" and the name "About.asrx". Click on "OK" and now in your "ARexx Macro Keys" window appears as follows: ArtStudio:Rexx/About.asrx At this program we need not to surrender any parameters. Please save by clicking on the "Save" button and now we are able to test our first function key by pressing the "F10" key. The "About ..." window should open in what you can read address of MotionStudios and their serial number. @ENDNODE @NODE "WindowMain" "Oberfl chen Beschreibung" @TOC "MAIN" GUI description =================== @{" Catalogue information " LINK "FensterKatalog"} Informations about the catalogue @{" Picture window " LINK "FensterBilder"} Where the miniature pictures will shown @{" Picture informations " LINK "FensterBildInfo"} Standard informations about the picture @{" Text informations " LINK "FensterTextInfo"} Additional informations about the picture @{" Preferences " LINK "FensterPref"} For configuration of ArtStudio @{" Select Categories " LINK "FensterSelelctCategory"} Choose a certain category @{" Working with categories " LINK "FensterEditCategory"} Additing or deleting category @{" Main window " LINK "FensterMain"} Graphical standard buttons @{" Tools " LINK "FensterTools"} For working with marked pictures @{" Picture manipulation " LINK "FensterOperator"} Stranging and forming pictures @{" Window strip " LINK "FensterFensterleiste"} Graphical buttons for select a window @{" Create a new catalogue " LINK "FensterCreateNew"} How to create a new catalogue? @{" Searching window " LINK "FensterSearch"} How to search for a certain picture? @{" ARexx window " LINK "FensterARexx"} Choosing and starting an ARexx script @{" ARexx macro window " LINK "FensterARexxMacros"} Lay ARexx scripts on the function keys @{" ARexx button window " LINK "FensterARexxButtons"} Function keys for graphical showing @{" Printing window " LINK "FensterPrint"} How can I print with the catalogues dates? @{" Delete picture window " LINK "FensterDelete"} What has to be delete? @{" Picture exists window " LINK "FensterImageExist"} The picture is just existing! @{" ArtStudio informations " LINK "FensterAbout"} A few infos about ArtStudio @{" Print Image " LINK "FensterDruckenGrafikInfo"} Print images catalog @ENDNODE @NODE "FensterKatalog" "Catalogue informations" @TOC "MAIN" @{"Catalogue informations" SYSTEM "MultiView pics/KatalogInfo"} ---------------------- You can read directly the following informations in your window: Shows the path of the catalogue on the medium.

It is also advantageous if you want to read in a CD-Rom all night long without getting an error report at picture no. 97 of 3000 next day and the time has been wasted. Picture Warn On: Shows when a picture format was not recognized. But it's like the "Loader Error". When searching picture CD's it doesn't exist pictures only but also programs and textes. A requester will be opened which will show the error. Off: When a format is unknown Artstudion continious working with the next file. This is advantageous if you want to let work your computer lonely. A requester won't be shown and Artstudio will be worked with the next picture at once. Fast Zoom You should switch on "Fast zoom" if you don't set a high value on the quality when enlarging pictures otherwise the enlarged picture will be loaded and calculated new. Prefs Is this option activated the program adjustments and the ARexx macro list will be saved separately for each catalogue. So you have the possibility to state several ARexx scripts for each base file or several screen sizes ... Dia Format On: Miniature pictures will show in a Dia-format. ArtStudio also displays the picture name and number in the catalogue. OFF: Miniature pictures will be shown side by side. Start-up By using "Start-up" you choose an ArtStudio catalogue which will be loaded at once when ArtStudio has been started. If you work mostly with only one catalogue the procedure of loading will be omitted after starting of the program. This makes it possible to choose the directory used by ArtStudio for the intermediate filing of files/calculations. When working with ADPro or later versions of ArtStudio you need a lot of memory. If you have enough memory you set "Temp" on "Ram" by that the picture manipulation will be faster. If you have not enough memory you should put "Temp" on the hard disc (for examble "Work:") where are minimal 8 MB disc memory free. When the pictures are larger you should have more disc memory. PRIORITY Each program in the multitasking system has a certain priority which indicates the processing time for that program. When the priority is high the program will get more processing time to work faster. The disadvantage is that other programs will be neglected when the prio- rity is too high and it will be impossible to work with them. If you want to let work ArtStudio in the background you should use a priority of -1 or -3. If ArtStudio will be used alone or it has to work all night long you should use a priority of 3 or 5 by that Art- Studio could be faster. How much faster please test it by yourself. STARTING AREXX You have 2 chances to start ARexx scripts from ArtStudio. The first chance is the synchron mode that means the ARexx script will be worked and after finishing, it's possible again to work with ArtStudio. The other chance is the asynchron mode that makes it possible to start an ARexx script during working without waiting for the ending of the ARexx script. In that case it will be renounced of any result. Moreover in the asynchron mode you can control ArtStudio by Art- Studio, for examble to change the preferences. @ENDNODE @NODE "Thumbnails" "Bild Einstellungen" @TOC "MAIN" @{"Thumbnails" SYSTEM "MultiView pics/PrefsThumbnails"} ---------- Here you can do all these adjustments which produces an impression on the pictures directly. You can decide between "ON", "OFF" and "INT" (interactiv). Border Lays a boarder around the picture. You can decide between "ON", "OFF" and "INT". When the function was set to interactiv, you will be asked at each picture again if you want to lay a boarder around the stamp. PixelAspect The picture will be reduced according to its proportion. When it is activ the picture will be reduced on the adjusted size even it follows a distortion of this picture. You can decide between "ON", "OFF", "INT". Dither It switchs on the dithering mode which will optimize the quality of the reduced picture. When the mode was set to OFF the processing rate of the pictures will be higher. You can decide between "ON", "OFF", "INT". BackgroundColour When PixelAspect is activated it can happens often that the stamps are smaller than the pretended picture size. You can fill in the blanks with the chosed colour by using "Colour". You can decide between "GREY", (background colour), "BLACK" and "WHITE". Category You can decide between "OFF", "INTERACTIVE", "AUTOMATIC". When the mode was set to interactive you can choose the category for each picture. Interpolation By using the interpolation function you wil receive a much more better quality of the thumbnails, that`s usefull for ClipArts. @ENDNODE @NODE "ExternalViewer" "Externe Anzeigeprogramme" @TOC "MAIN" @{"External viewer" SYSTEM "MultiView pics/PrefsExViewer"} --------------- ArtStudio allows you to show all graphics by external viewers. To activate these external "viewers" you have to choose the respectively check button ("ON" you will see) and it has to enter a path for the respectively viewer. By this way it is possible to add new graphic boards into ArtStudio or to show pictures faster and in more high-graded quality. You have to use the external programs only when the respectively switch and the main switch are activated. When one of both isn't activ it will be used the internal viewer. The main switch turns off all external viewers and only the internal viewer will be used. There is also an external UNIVERSAL VIEWER, which is valid for all graphic formats. You have the following possiblyties: OFF: The universal viewer will not use. On : If you don`t have declared an external viewer, the univeral viewer will be started. All: Artstudio uses the universal viewer in every case, it doesn`t matter if you have chosen an external viewer or not for a specified graphicformat. @ENDNODE @NODE "JPEGQuality" "JPEG Einstellung" @TOC "MAIN" @{"JPEG Qualit t" SYSTEM "MultiView pics/PrefsJPEG"} Here you can set the desired JPEG quality. Our experience is that a JPEG- quality of 85% brings the best solutions. @ENDNODE @NODE "HTMLPREFS" "Erstellen von WEBSeiten" @TOC "MAIN" @{"Erstellen von Webseiten"} Hiermit k nnen Bild und Parameterangaben an den WEBDesigner bergeben werden zum erstellen von WEBSeiten.

Theoretical it`s possible that a file (program, text, sound usw.) contains data`s like a graphicformat. In that case it could happen that Artstudio thinks the file is a graphicfile and so an error could occur. So the user have to watch out himself that it doesn`t happen. Artstudio manages the loaders as independent files, so that additional improvements and extensions can make easy. You can create your own graphic loader. If you want that, you can get the developer documents from our technical hotline (see hotline) MotionStudios Telefon: 0421 / 249966 Fax: 0421 / 249556 avaible loaders --------------- Here you can see a list of the availble loaders.

The number of the colors and greytones are according to the selected screen preferences. The window viewer also supports the Cybergraphix modes like 16 or 24 bit. As result you can open the window on the Artstudio screen and a picture can be displayed in 16 mil colors. Also you can make the window smaller or bigger, to move the picture in the window please use the sliders on the left side and below. @ENDNODE @NODE "ARexxProgramme" "Mitgelieferte ARexx Programme" @TOC "MAIN" ARexx programs ============== In this section we explain the enclosed ARexx-programs and also you can learn how to program your own ARexx-script. enclosed ARexx-Programs ----------------------- The Artstudio package contains a lot of ARexx-programs ready to run. Now we want to explain how you can use the programs. We starting with the program "Load.asrx". This script enables you to hand over pictures from other programs to Artstudio and take them into the catalogue. Now, please start the "Load.asrx" as an ARexx-program and hand over the complete picture path. Please ensure that you have set the picture path into quotation marks. Without, there may be errors while loading the picture if it contains spaces in its name. First we show you some ARexx-scripts, these scripts making your work with Arstudio more easier. Mainly, you can influence the ArtStudio settings. You have the possibility to start the scripts directly from Artstudio (ASYNCHRON-MODE only) or from other programs. Of course, we have pretended a few possibilities only. But you can change all other settings per ARexx, too. Therefore you can use every program to change the Artstudio settings. If you start ARexx-scripts from ArtStudio please remember to start the ASYNCHRON-Mode before (see Artstudio preferences). If you don`t, Artstudio stops runing and you can`t break the script anyway. ErrorOn ErrorOff ---------------- With this script you can enable or disable the error message. Therefore you can enable the errormessage shortly and e.g., look for why the last picture wasn`t loaded. parameter: none example : ErrorON The errormassage is activated FastZoomOn FastZoomOff ---------------------- With this script you can select whether the zoom function is set to quick or is set to slow (for more quality). If you use the FastZoomOn function the stamp will enlarge by an optimized routine and if you use the FastZoomOff function the original picture will be reloaded, new calculated and scaled. In fact off this you get a higher picture quality. parameter: none example : FastZoomOn The scaling is shown in best quality To hand over pictures to other programs ======================================= Now, we explain the ARexx-scripts whom can hand over pictures from Art- studio to another program. Please watch out, not all programs known so much graphicfromats like Artstudio does and then errors could be happen. But we think, all programs should known the IFF-format and if you use this format the transmition will work out all right. Supposing you have to send a different fileformat like "gif" e.g. you can use the ConvertStudio to put the picture in the right format. Be valid for all scripts (ImageTo...) parameter: FILENAME/K (path and name together!) example : ImageToADPro.asrx "Work:Bilder/Testbild" ImageToADPro ------------ The picture will send to Artdepartment prof. ImageToDPaint ------------- The picture will send to Dpaint4. But remember, Dpaint 4 doesn`t supports ARexx-commands and therefore it`s only possible to hand over the path and picture-name while Dpaint4 is starting. And also remember, DPaint supports the IFF-Format only. ImageToDPaint5 -------------- The picture will send to DPaint5. But remember, DPaint5 knows the IFF-Format only. ImageToDPaint5Brush ------------------- The picture will send to DPaint5. The picture will hand over as a brush. Only IFF-format possible!! ImageToFinalWriter ------------------ The picture will send to FinalWriter. The picture will open on the first document. ImageToFinalWriter2 ------------------- The picture will send to FinalWriter. The picture will open on the second document. The construction of the following scripts are identical to the explained above. ------------ ImageToImageFX ImageToImageMaster ImageToMovieShop ImageToPPaint ImageToScala ImageToXiPaint ImageToXiPaintBrush To send pictures via modem =========================== If you use the program Term, you can send pictures via modem with these three Arexx-scripts. ClearTermUpload --------------- Herewith you can delete the upload list to avoid that previously sent pictures are sending twice. parameter: none example : ClearTermUpload.asrx ImageToTerm ----------- This script have over the path and the name of the picture which you want to send. parameter: FILENAME/K (path and name together!) example : ImageToTerm.asrx "Work:Bilder/Testbild" or : ImageToTerm.asrx %s %s see handing-over-parameters!! SendTermUpload -------------- With this script you can send the complete contents of the upload list. Parameter: none example : SendTermUpload.asrx picture displaying ================== All ARexx-scripts whom starting with "ShowImage..." are for displaying the picture with external viewers. Artstudio allows you to choose a separate viewer for each graphic format . You can take this settings in the ArtStudio perferences. But if you like ARexx so much, you can do the same with the these ARexx-scripts. hand over pictures to Artstudio =============================== With a short ARexx-script it`s possible to hand over pictures from other programs to Artstudio. For example, you use the directory-mananger "DirectoryOpus". Then you can hand over pictures to Artstudio with a easy mouseclick. Please remember, to set path and picturename in quotation marks if they containing spaces. parameter: PFAD/K NAME/K example : Load.asrx "Work:Bilder/" "Testbild" parameter @ENDNODE @NODE "ToolPrograms" "Enclosed Tools" @TOC "MAIN" Tools ===== Artstudio also includes some useful tools, whom making it easier to work with Artstudio. FX Studio ========= An external picture manipulation program which allows you to load, to manipulate and to transform any picture you like. After starting the program a working area appears which is subdivided in serveral fields. In the hightest field you can see the name and the size of the loaded picture. Under this, you can see four listwindows with the specificated modules. And in the lowest area you can see the statusdisplay. You can start the respective modul by double click on its name. Convert Studio ============== A useful tool to convert pictures in different graphicformat. If you start Convert Studio from DirOpus you can convert idividual pictures or a whole directory. Starting from CLI ----------------- If you have started ConvertStudio from SHELL or CLI you can hand over the following parameters. LOADER/K SAVER/K QUALITY/N FROM/K TO/K LOADER ------ Herewith you can load a certain graphicformat. Basicsetting = "UNIVERSAL" SAVER ----- Herewith you can select the graphicformat in which the picture has to be saved. Basicsetting = "JPEG" QUALITY ------- If you have selected the "JPEG" savermodul you can also declare the desired qualitiy of the pictures. 1 is the poorest qualitiy and 100 is the best quality. Basicsetting = "80" FROM ---- Here, you can type in the path and the name of the picture. If you haven`t typed in a name, a filerequester appears in which you can select the desired path and name. Here you can type in the destination directory, in which you like tio save the picture. If you haven`t typed in a name, a filerequester appears in which you can select the desired path and name. Example ------- ConvertStudio LOADER=UNIVERSAL SAVER=JPEG QUALITY=50 FROM=Work:Bilder/Bild1 TO=Ram:Test Attention! ---------- If the name or path containing spaces you have to set the whole part in quotation marks. Example ------- ConvertStudio FROM="Work:Bilder/Bild 1" TO="Ram:Test Nr.1" Starting from WB ---------------- If you start ConvertStudio from the workbench a filerequester appears in which you can choose the picture you like to load. After this another filerequester appears which ask you for the destination path and name. Basicsettings are: LOADER=UNIVERSAL, SAVER=JPEG and QUALITY=80 View Studio =========== This program is for viewing any picture you like. If you start this tool from e.g. DirOpus you can display all selected pictures in a DiaShow. Starting from CLI ----------------- If you start ViewStudio from SHELL or CLI you can hand over the following parameters LOADER/K VIEWER/K /F LOADER ------ Herewith you can type in the loadername for a certain graphicformat. Basicsetting = "UNIVERSAL" VIEWER ------ Here, you have to select the specificated viewermodule for your computer system (ECS,AGA....) Basicsetting ="ECS_GREY" Also you have to declare the path and the name of the picture which you like to dispay. Example ------- ViewStudio LOADER=UNIVERSAL VIEWER=CYBER_16BIT_FAST Work:Bilder/Bild1 Attention! ---------- If the name or path contains spaces you have to set the whole part in quotation marks. Example ------- ViewStudio LOADER=UNIVERSAL VIEWER=CYBER_16BIT_FAST "Work:Bilder/Bild 1" Cyper FLIC ========== Mit CyberFLIC erhalten Sie ein Programm, da Ihnen die Animationsformate FLI und FLC anzeigt.

Hierf r gibt es eine vielzahl von Einstellungsm glichkeiten, die Sie am Besten aus der Dokumentation "Viewtek.guide". @ENDNODE @NODE "Parameter" " bergabe Parameter" @TOC "MAIN" Handing-over parameter ====================== The handing-over parameter are used for to give further informations to ARexx-scripts or to external programs. It`s very usefull or even necessary to hand over certain informations to other programs or ARexx-scripts. Therefore, Artstudio has declared the most parameters as shortcuts which starts with a % character. You didn`t have to watch out for capital or short letters %S path and filename of the chosen picture will hand over. %F only the picture-filename will hand over %P only the path of the picture will hand over %R a filerequester will open.As well, you have the possibility to choose the desired picture or text comfortable and if you have selected, the parameter will hand over to the script automatically. %T The temp-path will hand over. According to the perferences-settings the corresponding path will hand over. Also you can use the temp-path for other program therefore you always didn`t have to change the path if you use a differnt script or program. %D The file-path of the loaded stamps will hand over. That means, it will be hand over the path from which the basefile was opened plus the subdirectory of the stamps. It`s easier as it`s seems. a example: You have loaded the basefile into Artstudio. The path is "Work:BaseDateien/TestBase/" and the subdirectory is "Stamps/". That means a string called "Work:BaseDateien/TestBase/Stamps/" will hand over. As we you use the "%" characters as a flag for handing-over parameters, sometimes it could happen that you need the "%" character in a filename or something else. Herewith you can use "%" in a string. Please remember that you don`t hand over a separted "%" character without handing-over parameters, may be errors could occure. some example for explaining --------------------------- We want operating with an external viewer. The viewer-name is "Anzeiger" and lies in the C:directory then the input-command should reads as the following: C:Anzeiger %s C:Anzeiger %s Of course, you can hand over parameters to the viewer, too. C:Anzeiger SCALE LEFTMOUSEBUTTON %s C:Anzeiger SCALE %s LEFTMOUSEBUTTON C:Anzeiger %s SCALE LEFTMOUSEBUTTON At the places where you can see "%s" there will hand over the path and the name of the picture automatically. The path and name will set in quotation marks allways. @ENDNODE @NODE "FragenAntworten" "Fragen und Antworten" @TOC "MAIN" Questions and Answers ===================== If you a troubles with ArtStudio? This section will be the right for you. Here we try to answer the FAQ`s and other problems which could happen if you use ArtStudio. Question: Why I can`t load my picture XY ??? Answer: May be, you have selected the wrong loader-module in the preferences. Always use the universal loader, because it knows the right loader automatically. Or, the picture-format wasn`t supported yet. In that case, you can send us the recongized pictures and if you have some doc`s about it`s format. Then we will try to create a special loader for you. Our address you can find at the end of this manual. Question: Why the picture will not be displayed ? Wieso wird das Bild nicht angezeigt? Answer: May be, you have selected the wrong viewer-module in the preferences. Please choose the right viewer-module for your the system. (ECS-Machines =>ECS viewer etc.) Or, you didn`t have enough chipmem free or your chipmen is fragmented. Please close other programs which using chip e.g. paintprograms. If nothing brings a result you have to do a reset. Question: Why doesn`t converts Arstudio all the pictures in the directory ?? Answer: You have selected a specified loadermodul, but the directory contains differnt graphic-formats. Please choose the UNIVERSAL-loader, then you can get all pictures. Or, you didn`t have enough RAM free or your RAM is fragmented. Please close other programs which using RAM e.g. paintprograms and so on. As nothing brings a result, it may be, that you didn`t have enough memory in your system avaible. So you have to by further FastRAM or use a Virtuell Memory-manager like VMM (Shareware, but fully functionable) Question: I can`t hand over the selected picture to another program!! Answer: It may be, that you don`t have starting the programm "RexxMast" which have to start before using ARexx-commands. You can find this program on your system-partition in the system-directory. Paintprograms like DPaint can`t read all graphic-formats, therefore errors could be happen if you try to hand over Jpeg picture to DPaint. Use the convert-function of ArtStudio to put the picture in the right format (e.g. Jpeg to IFF) before you hand over it. Question: Sometimes it happens that Artstudio stops reading pictures from CD. Answer: We have found out that if you have a certain hardware configuration (e.g. FastlaneZ3 with an old Eprom) the SCSI-Bus stops working. That`s no failure of ArtStudio. It is advisable to use a other CD-file-system, if you have. If you don`t like this suggestion, there is a little trick to restart the SCSI-Bus. Go back on the workbench screen and open a CLI or a Shell, thereby the SCSI-Bus will restart. Question: If I tried to read a certain CD, Artstudio crashs down!! Answer: We have found out that some picture containing illegal characters in it`s name e.g. "#" or "?". These are wildcards which are using by the AmigaDOS. So, if Artstudio tried to compare if the picture is already catalogized the system could crash down. @ENDNODE @NODE "Glossar" "Erkl rung gebr uchlicher Fachbegriffe" @TOC "MAIN" Explaining of common technicalterms =================================== @{b}Autoscroll@{ub} Automatical movement of a screen, if the mousecursor reach the end of the visible screenarea. @{b}Argument@{ub} Declaration of parameters for a program or command. @{b}Basefile@{ub} The basefile (Basedatei) containg the whole data`s from the pictures. @{b}Button@{ub} Description for areas on the screen with which you can start or confirm actions by a mouseclick. mouseclick also see gadget @{b}Chip-Ram@{ub} A special part of the ram which is using for picture and sound data`s.
