- Program information
- -------------------
- akTIFF.datatype is a TIFF datatype, which is based on the
- TIFF reference sources (libtiff 3.4beta037).
-
- So it does support 8 Bit color mapped files (colorspace expanded to
- 8 bit per component always) and True color files (24 Bit, alpha
- channel ignored, cut down to 24 Bit 8:8:8 if necessary).
-
- Note, that reading of LZW compressed TIFF graphics is disabled because
- of legal reasons. Zip and JPEG compression intentionally is not supported,
- because they are seldomly used and support would bloaten the binaries
- a lot - subject to further considerations, though.
-
- [ More detailed description can be found in akTIFF.guide ]
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Supported output bitmap formats:
-
- - picture.datatype V39-42:
-
- o (upto) 256 palette colors
- o HAM6 or HAM8
-
- - picture.datatype V43 (CyberGraphX or Picasso96 *) or V44 (OS 3.5)
-
- o 24 Bit RGB
-
- Where upto 256 colors always will be exported unmodified,
- and 24 Bit data either is dithered or converted to HAM6/HAM8,
- if it can't be or should not be exported unmodified.
-
- (*) the latter one works with OCS/ECS/AGA, too
