- I. INTRODUCTION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The scripts were written by me (Conny Ankargren) to help me convert
- a big amout of files using Artdepartment. this would take extremly long
- time if i hade to load every picture manualy, make the right configurations
- and then save the new picture.
-
- Instead i wrote these scripts called:
-
- PICTURE-2-IFF
- and
- GIF <> JPG
-
-
-
-
- II. ABOUT PIC2IFF
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The Picture-2-Iff script is the most advanced of the two scripts.
- This is what it can do:
-
- 1. It handles ALL selected files.
- 2. it Uses Unlimited Configuration files or Manual mode.
- 3. It Loads ANY picture format that your version of ADpro handles.
- 4. It can Scale the pictures 1-100 %...
- 5. It can make the picture greyscale only.
- 6. It can use any of ADpro's Dither modes.
- 7. it can use Low or Hi-res.
- 8. it Saves the picture in any IFF Color format.
- 9. You can define if it should Iconify Dopus while working.
- 10. It automaticly starts Apro if its not already running.
- 11. You can define if Artdepartment should be running or not after
- using the script.
-
-
- Now lets se how to INSTALL this script...
-
-
-
-
- IIV. ABOUT GIF<>JPG
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The Gif<>Jpg script does not only convert Gif pictures to Jpg, this
- is what the script can do:

- 3. It can Scale the pictures 1-100 %...
- 4. It can make the picture greyscale only.
- 5. It can use any of ADpro's Dither modes.

- IV. INSTALLATION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Too install these scripts do like this:
-
- 1. Unarc this LHA file in your sys: device..
- 2. Load the Directory Opus Configuration program.
- 3. Create a new BUTTON/MENU FUNCTION called "Pic2Iff".
- Install the S:Pic2iff.dopus(.ENG) as a Arexx script.
- 4. Create another new BUTTON/MENU FUNCTION called "Gif<>Jpg".
- Install the S:Gif2Jpg.dopus(.ENG) as a Arexx script.
-
- 5. Make sure that the Adpro:Adpro file exists, otherwise the script
- will not find artdepartment.
-
-
- Now lets se how to use PIC2IFF and GIF<>JPG ...
-
-
