========================================== FALCON GRAPHICS APPLICATIONS AND UTILITIES ========================================== Remember to quote the disk REFerence number when ordering disks. Ref: 012 PERSISTANCE OF VISION RAYTRACER. It's big, it's bad and its going to need a lot of hard disk space, patience and pure skill to get anything even remotely nice looking from it. But patience is a virtue they say. The whole package is ZIPped up to the hilt, there is no unZIP program supplied (no room) and with 390K worth of doc files to wade your way through can I wish you the best of luck and if you do create any nice pictures then please send them to me so I can boggle over them and wish I was as talented. HD required. Ref: 015 BITCAMRA is a Falcon Image Utility from SKWare One, it will enlarge, reduce and reproportion mono, 4 colour, 16 colour, 256 colour and true colour images very fast with good results. Loads IMG, STTT IMG, XIMG and XGA pictures. Save is disabled! So can only really be used as a picture viewer unless you register with them. DML APPLICATIONS these include AUTOGIF, AUTOIFF, AUTORAW and AUTOTGA. Simply drag the picture onto the program or set it up as an APPlication and it will display the picture of your choice. IFF2XIMG convertor program. IFF HAM 8 picture viewer. JPEG4A will convert from JPEG to GIF or from GIF to JPEG, can accept command line input to do a whole series of files in one go, very useful program. PALETTE MASTER is a simple palette checking program designed for the Crazy Dots expansion card but works just as well on the Falcon. SPEED OF LIGHT GIF Viewer 2.1 and 2.5 provided here, uses clever dithering processs to give the effect of more colours than are actually on-screen. GEMVIEW 2.24 the best shareware image viewing package, plenty of features, register it now (updated version elsewhere in this catalogue). STUDIO PHOTO DEMO load and play with all the picture types including Photo CD, TIFF, GIF, JPEG and more, but sadly no save option. Ref: 022 BABY SE FALCON 030 is an image loading, manipulation package that has many of the features of Studio Photo, infact from decidely similar French menu options I would say this is a very early version of Studio Photo under a different name and with the save function intact! GEMVIEW 2.30 the best gets better, it now runs in True Colour mode 100%, it comes with its own install program and a hard drive is recommended. PAPILLON 1.0 by Stefan Becker and Dirk Sabiwalsky is a very detailed art package with a wide range of tools and other effects options. Allows exportation as IMG, Doodle, STAD, MacPaint, IFF or PCX formats. STUDIO PHOTO seems to make it onto this disk as well for some reason, a sample JPEG is supplied and yes the save function is still disabled! TRUE PAINT is another demo of an art package this time by HiSoft, again a sample JPEG is supplied to play with. A good try before you buy situation. Ref: 083 Along with Multi Briques and Starball this disk also contains a demo of Lexicors Phoenix 2 raytracing package. Sadly you will need an FPU in order to use even the demo so I can't comment on it, but from the doc files I have read it looks very detailed indeed and should give you all a great time if raytracing is your scene. Ref: 092 GEMVIEW 3.00 the best is back and this time is has grown so much it warrants a whole new upgrade! There are external picture modules, print modules, snapshot programs, configuration files, improved colour reduction, faster conversion times, monochrome TIFF bug fix, source code for new drivers included, zoom functions and much much more. This is the all time great of image viewing and conversion and your collection shouldn't be without this program. Ref: 122 DELM PAINT (or D2M) from PARX in France is a very nice looking paint package indeed. There are many features you'd expect to find in such a high quality package as this, indeed this is alas only a demo version. Plenty of picture types are supported and it runs in all resolutions, dithering the pictures as required. There is a lot to do and a lot to play with, needless to say most the options are in French. Sample pictures are provided. Ref: 129 PERSISTANCE OF VISION RAYTRACER version 2.00. This is the new version of the best free raytracing package there is. Its deep, its complex, it has more support files and example code and doc files than you could fit on one HD disk and its got plenty of Atari bindings making it the only choice for anyone who is considering attempting rendering on their Falcon. The whole package has been ZIPped into sections and it will need a massive amount of hard drive space (around 4 meg I believe). Be prepared for LONG stints with your Falcon doing nothing while your latest masterpiece renders the electricity bill away only to find you put the wrong image on the wrong face! This is the complete POV 2 system EXCEPT the POVSRC.ZIP (the source code files for the Unix, PC, VMS, Amiga and Acorn computers - the Atari ones are on the disk). If you want these files too then just add 50p to the price of this disk and I'll include them on a seperate disk for you. I'll also put them on the next graphics disk when I have something to go with it.
