- IMAGE ALCHEMY
-
- Image Alchemy is a DOS-based image conversion program. It supports a wide
- variety of image formats, including GIF, TIFF, Windows BMP, and many
- other popular formats.
-
- The general syntax is as follows:
-
- ALCHEMY [-options] inputFile [outputFile]
-
- The [-options] switch sets the image type to be converted to, as well as
- several other options. Typing "ALCHEMY -h" will give you the option switch
- help menu. "ALCHEMY -h1" will give you general options. "ALCHEMY -h2"
- and "ALCHEMY -h3" will give you a listing of the various image formats
- Image Alchemy can convert to. Here is an example:
-
- ALCHEMY -g c:¥images¥beach.tif
-
- This command will convert the image "beach.tif" in the "c:¥images"
- subdirectory into a GIF file (the option switch was set to -g for GIF)
- and save it to the same subdirectory. Here is another example:
-
- ALCHEMY -t b:¥vacation.pcx c:¥tom¥trip
-
- This command will convert the image "vacation.pcx" from the "b:" drive
- to a TIFF file that is saved as "trip.tif" (Image Alchemy will add the
- .tif extension automatically) in the "c:¥tom" subdirectory.
-
- Consult the help option switches in Image Alchemy for further options
- and image formats.
