The NOMSSI Viewer
This program allows you to read pictures archived in files with different image file
formats and to display the image, using the SuperVGA card in your PC. Use the dialog box "Load an image file" to load and display a picture. To open this box press F3 or click on the item 'F3 Load' in the status line.
The files can be viewed one at a time or selected for a Slide
show with full user control. One can easily generate an array of reduced
images using high quality image reduction.
Once loaded, the images can undergo simple transformations and color editing, and then be dumped to a palette color file (TIFF, BMP or TGA).
The NOMSSI Viewer can be customized using the setup dialog box. Press F9 to open this window. All default values and miscellaneous switches can be set and saved there. )
