========================================== 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. Ref: 137 GREY SCALE IMAGE PROCESSOR is a brilliant utility for converting many popular format pictures in grey scale images for importation into desktop publishing packages for a much clearer print-out. SAVER14 is a True Colour screen saver. SCAPE is a brilliant little program that renders a real-time space scene for you using a variety of options for realistic effects such as moons, stars, space rocks and much more. Saves results as PCX format (samples included). Three versions, one for GEMVDI, one for the 68030 and one for FPU processors. VIDEL is a Targa viewer with example assembly source code and two pictures. Ref: 140 RAYTRACING disk. Includes the POVSRC.ZIP to go with Ref 129. A demo of Phoenix 2 (FPU required) the POV Shell for making picture generation more friendly, a working demo of Lexicors RAYSTART and finally some awesome raytraced JPEG pictures. HD required. Ref: 142 A working demo of OVERLAY a multi-media presentation program, seems quite detailed and plenty of examples provided. It can handle graphics and samples will a variety of fades and dissolves. Hard drive required. SCRIBE is a program for making titles for home videos, includes a few fonts and different effects and lots of samples. AUTO FLI is a new FLI or FLC animation player with a difference, this one plays the animation from disk or hard drive, therefore you can run animations larger than your free memory size. A quality program. ASCII ARTIST lets you create instant banners for doc files out of ASCII characters, quite useful if you need a quick impressive ascii heading. Ref: 145 The BINARIS VIEWER, this is really for RGB monitors becaues it displays GIF or JPEGs in True Colour mode and is very fast indeed. Works on VGA though. GIF SHOW is a little program that lets you make your own slideshows out of GIF pictures and also have a soundtracker module playing in the background, samples provided. SPEED OF LIGHT 3.1 is the latest version of this ultra-fast JPEG and GIF displayer, loads of new functions included. It's almost becoming a mini photo studio now. Finally is JPEG COMPRESSOR/DECOMPRESSOR by Andrew Younger of Black Scorpion Software, handles a variety of file formats and has options for block smooth, dithering and grey scales. Very, very good program.
