- Systemvoraussetzungen
-
-
- Needed system configurations
- ============================
-
-
- Before you start working with ArtStudio you should take care that your
- system meets the following minimum prerequisites for a correctly use.
-
-
- Required hardware
- -----------------
-
- For working with ArtStudio you must have an AMIGA computer including
- hard disc and at least Kickstart V2.0. Your hard disc should be big
- enough and you should have at least 10 MB free memory. For the RAM
- memory it counts as a rule: "The more the better". The really needed
- memory depends on individually using by the user. See following
- examble:
-
- - A picture in 800 * 600 in 24 bit (approx. 16,8 Mill. colours)
- needs 1,440,000 bytes memory (approx. 1,37 MB).
-
- - Further examble: A picture in 1280 * 1024 in 24 bit needs
- 3,932,160 bytes (approx. 3,75 MB).
-
- You can see each picture needs several big memory blocks. But for
- the normal users 4 MB FastRAM and 1 MB ChipRAM are enough. We
- recommend 8 MB FastRAM and 2 MB ChipRAM for working with other
- programs at the same time.
-
- We recommend a graphic board or an AMIGA computer with AGA graphic
- chip set but they are not necessary for working with ArtStudio.
-
-
- Required software
- -----------------
-
- For working with ArtStudio you need the Workbench 2.0 or higher
- versions. When using lower versions it could happens any mistakes
- or system break-downs and you will lose your datas.
-
- AMIGA calculator with included older system software are able for
- updating with hardware and software upgrades, please ask your branch
- dealer in your area.
-
- InstallationText
-
-
- The installation of ArtStudio
- =============================
-
-
- For installing ArtStudio on your hard disc please do the following steps:
-
- - Start your AMIGA if not happened yet.
-
- - Put the ArtStudio-CD into your CD-Rom drive when the workbench
- appears. When the CD icon appears please open the window with a
- double click on the icon.
-
- - You can see the contents of the ArtStudio-CD also the icon called
- "ArtStudio_Install" which you start with a double click, too.
-
- - Now it appears the installer window which ask you for the directory in
- what you like to install ArtStudio. ArtStudio creates a drawer named
- "ArtStudio".
-
- - Please let the adjustments in this condition.
-
- - Click on "OK" button.
-
- - The installation will be taken automatically.
-
- - After ending of installing you can start ArtStudio with a double
- click on the ArtStudio icon.
-
-
- Have big fun!
-
- EinführungMain
-
-
-
- Introduction
- ============
-
-
- Here you will know the basics of handling with the AMIGA computer
- in order to work successful with ArtStudio.
-
- Moreover it follows a "tour" through the ArtStudio program.
-
-
- Before you set to work ...
- --------------------------
-
- We suppose that you know your AMIGA and also:
-
- - you are at home in your workbench,
- - you control all functions of your mouse (clicking, double clicking,
- pressing and pulling),
- - you can move correctly on your screen / windows also by using the
- sliders,
- - you can choose the functions from the menues / dialogue fields.
-
- If you don't control these functions you should read the documentation
- of your AMIGA computer.
-
- For further working with ArtStudio we recommend fundamental knowings in
- using "ARexx".
-
-
- How you can help yourself
- -------------------------
-
- If you have any problems with ArtStudio please read this hand book first.
- Think about the problem occured and the functions which don't want to work
- as you have expected. Look into your hand book. The table of contents and
- the index will support you in your intention. Was it not successful please
- take care if any program works parallelly caused a misfunction (perhaps a
- graphic program or other softwares).
-
- If you are convinced of discovering a defect or a misfunction caused by
- ArtStudio please contact our technical service.
-
- Please note that you must be registered first before you can use the
- technical service.
-
-
- A "tour" through ArtStudio
- ==========================
-
- Now we are starting our "tour" through ArtStudio. Please note the
- keyboard shortcuts because we mention only the buttons / menue points.
- The using of the keyboard shortcuts saves a lot of time.
-
-
- How to start ArtStudio
- ----------------------
-
- Before start working you must start ArtStudio, of course. You start
- the program exactly like other AMIGA programs:
-
- Open the drawer where ArtStudio is included and do a double click on
- the ArtStudio symbol, the icon named "ArtStudio".
-
-
- How to create a new catalogue
- ----------------------------
-
- The catalogue is the file which includes all datas about your picture
- collection to manage. Before beginning to put pictures into your data
- base you must create another new catalogue. You open a window with the
- menue point "Cataloge->New" and there you fix the default mode of the
- new catalogue.
-
- Stamp size
- ----------
-
- It indicates the size of the miniature pictures which are showed in the
- picture window. Let the setted adjustment be so it is or choose a size
- you like.
-
- Colours
- -------
-
- Here you specify the miniature picture are showed in colour or in
- greyscales. If you are working with an AMIGA computer with ECS chip
- set (every calculator but the AMIGA 1200/4000 models) and you have
- not installed a graphic board it is only possible to work with 16
- greyscales, 16 colours or in HAM6 modulus. In the HAM6 modulus the
- screen must have a size at least 640 x 256 which functions only with
- Autoscroll.
-
- Base name
- ---------
-
- Here you state the name of the file. The name will be indicated in the
- information part of the ArtStudio window.
-
- After choosing of "Create New" you can enter the path and the name into
- the following filerequester in which your new catalogue should be saved.
- If you confirm your choose the catalogue will be created and you can start
- with the loading of your pictures.
-
- Loading pictures and lists
- --------------------------
-
- Before loading pictures and scanning lists you should state the loading
- module on the preference window in order to recognize your pictures
- correctly. The better way is to use the "Universal" loading module which
- recognizes automatically the graphic format to load and starts the
- belonging loading module.
-
-
- The reading of single pictures
- ------------------------------
-
- All preparations are finished and we can begin now the reading of
- pictures. First we want to show you how to read separate pictures.
-
- Click on the menue point "Cataloge->Load". It comes a filerequester
- in which you enter the path where your pictures are. Is this case the
- ArtStudio-CD in the directory "Images".
-
- Now we are choosing the picture "Skyline.jpg" and confirming with the
- "Load" button. ArtStudio is reading and converting the picture what
- can take a long time depending on the power of your Amiga.
-
- After successful working the picture "Skyline.jpg" should appear in
- the picture window.
-
- It's possible to search for whole directory of pictures because that is
- far too much trouble to read each picture separately.
-
-
- The reading of one directory
- ----------------------------
-
- The reading of whole directories saves a lot of time and efforts. The
- computer can work alone and we can drink a cup of coffee comfortable.
-
- Now we want to let searching for pictures in one directory without to take
- into consideration further subdirectories (tree scans). Here it is important
- that you turn off the button "Tree scan" in the preferences of ArtStudio
- thus the searching for tree scans will be stopped.
-
- Now we click the menue point "Catalogue->Load", in the filerequester we
- choose the ArtStudio-CD and then the directory "Images/Summer". Please pay
- attention that you have not chosen file names because then it will be
- read only one picture again. After confirming with the "Load" button
- the directory will be scanned shortly and the converting will be started.
-
- If you do the things all right then it should appear now 2 pictures
- more in the picture window provided that the picture window is big
- enough for showing the pictures. If you have 5 pictures in your cata-
- logue then you have not turned off the button "Tree scan" in the pre-
- ferences.
-
-
- The reading of one directory incl. tree scans
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- It's the mostly used feature for reading pictures. If you would like to
- search for pictures on the complete CD-Rom or harddisc then you must
- turn on the button "tree scan" in the preferences of ArtStudio what makes
- it possible the reading of tree scans. If you do so click on the menue
- point "Catalogue->Load". If our path has not been chosen so we will do
- it again by choosing the ArtStudio-CD.
-
- Now we choose the directory "Images/Summer" and confirm the application with
- the "OK" button again. You should pay attention that you have not chosen
- a file name because one picture will be loaded again.
-
- The requester ask you what is to do with the existing picture because
- you have read now 2 of the 4 pictures. You can choose between the buttons
- "Do It", "Do All", "Skip All", "Skip".
-
- We click on the button "Skip All" by that the existing pictures will not
- converted again. Further informations about the requester you will find
- in the surface description.
-
- Now you should have 5 pictures in your catalogue. If you cannot see all
- pictures please extend the picture window or use the cursor key in order
- to watch the non-visible pictures.
-
-
- Watching pictures
- -----------------
-
- You know how to read pictures so we want to show you how you can watch
- the pictures.
-
- If you choose the menue point "Images->Zoom" you can see the same
- picture quadruple extended by a simply mouse click. You can decide
- according to preferences if you want more quality or more speed. Please
- read also "Surface description".
-
- All users with graphic boards who working with CyberGFX have the
- possibility to vary the size of the zoomwindow. Of course in 24 bit,
- too.
-
- For lots of people the zoom function is not enough so we have made it
- possible to watch the pictures in full size and great colours.
-
- Before we come to this point we should choose the needed viewermodule in
- the preferences first. You will decide for one of the offered viewermodules
- according to the configuration of your computer. If you have an AMIGA
- with ECS chip set but without graphic board then you should decide for
- "ECS_HAM" (colour) or "ECS_GREY" (greyscales). If you have a graphic board
- which controls the AGA emulation you can also use the viewermodules
- "AGA_HAM" or "AGA_GREY" which bring about a considerable increase of quality
- of the showed pictures. Drivers are available for special boards. Please
- use the viewermodule which meets the name of the graphic board.
-
- Now we come to the showing of the pictures. Please choose the menue point
- "Images->Show" first that points to the program that by choosing of one
- of the miniature pictures in the window the belonging picture will be
- showed.
-
- If it not so then an error has occured. Was the switch in the preferences
- turned on "Loader Error" and "Pic Warn" then appears an error
- information which shows us the mistake. The most frequently mistakes are:
- - Not enough free memory,
- - You have chose the wrong loading module,
- - You have chose the wrong viewer module.
-
- Everybody don't like the viewer modules so there are 2 further possibilities
- to let show the pictures. First you can use extern showing programs or second
- you have the script language "ARexx" which offers you a lot of possibilities.
- Hereby we guarantee that later graphic boards and/or viewer programs can be
- supported. If you don't know much about "ARexx" please apply to MotionStudios
- (provided that you are registered) and we will try to meet your wishes.
-
- Now we want to describe briefly how you can put your own external viewers
- into the program:
-
- - Click on the menue point "ArtStudio->Preferences".
- - Please choose which graphic format should get an external viewer.
- - Please choose your needed viewer by clicking on the "Get File"
- button (left by the string gadget).
- - You can state certainly adjustments to your viewer if you would like to do this.
- - You type the initials "%s" (standing for the path and the name of the
- picture) at this place where the viewer expects the file name.
- Please see also "handing-over parameters".
- - Now you must still switch the button left by the string gadgets.
- - Moreover you must switch on the main switch which counts for every external
- viewers.
-
-
- Sorting
- -------
-
- ArtStudio offers you the possibility to sort your catalogue into 8 several
- categories because the readed pictures will not laying in assorted form. In
- order to sort a catalogue we click on the menue point "Images->Sort".
- According to your choice the catalogue will be sorted into the following
- categories:
-
- - Name
- Names of the pictures.
- - Path
- Path of the pictures on the data medium.
- - Picture depth
- Picture depth or known as number of the colours.
- - Solution
- The size of the picture which will be sorted first to the width and
- then to the height.
- - Date
- Date of creation of the original picture.
- - Stamp date
- Date of creation of the miniature picture.
- - Graphic format
- Sorting to several graphic formats.
- - Length
- Length of the original picture on the data medium.
-
- Now you can sort your catalogue as you like by simply clicking on one of
- the 8 menue points. We want to sort by names of the pictures and use the
- "Name" menue point. The catalogue will be sorted and new saved in order to
- find the file sorted again when we start once more. Please read also the
- point "Sorting windows" in chapter "Surface description".
-
-
- Reserving the function keys with ARexx scripts
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- It's very interesting to reserve the function keys with ARexx programs
- by that you can export pictures into other programs quickly and simply
- or you can configure the complete preferences of ArtStudio as you like
- or you can drive external viewers etc.
-
- At first we want to lay an ARexx script on the function key "F10". Please
- open the ARexx macro window by clicking on the menue point "ArtStudio-ARexx
- Macros". Where "F10" is mentioned you enter the path and the name of the
- ARexx script or you click on the "Get File" button which opens a filerequester
- with this we can search for the wanted ARexx script. In this case we are
- looking for the path "ArtStudio:Rexx/" and the name "About.asrx". Click on
- "OK" and now in your "ARexx Macro Keys" window appears as follows:
-
- ArtStudio:Rexx/About.asrx
-
- At this program we need not to surrender any parameters. Please save by
- clicking on the "Save" button and now we are able to test our first function
- key by pressing the "F10" key. The "About ..." window should open in what
- you can read address of MotionStudios and their serial number.

- Preferences window
- ==================
-
-
- Here will be done all adjustments for the program. The window is
- subdivided into different areas:
-
- Left on the top signed with "PROGRAM" are placed some options which
- influences the direct way of working of ArtStudio.
-
- Right next to it signed with "STAMPS" there are options which
- influences the creation of the stamps.
-
- Quite on the right side you are able to state external viewers
- or to define a temporary directory or to fix the path on a start-up file.
-
- In the area below the loading, saving and viewing modules will be adjusted.
-
-
- Program
- -------
-
- In this section you can adjust changings at the ArtStudio program which
- are not busy directly with the pictures.
-
- Tree Scan
- When the tree scan is on function, all sub directories will be also searched
- when loading pictures. Otherwise only the chosed directory without sub
- directories will be searched.
-
- Indicator
- Before ArtStudio starts converting the pictures it will be found out
- at first the quantity of file enterings on the medium. By that you
- get a overview during converting where the program stands and how long
- it takes to read all pictures. Is the indicator not activated ArtStudio will be
- began with working at once but the number of files won't be shown.
-
- Loader Error
- When an error has occured while loading pictures, it's possible to
- ignore this error report with this switch. For examble a picture CD
- don't contains pictures only so it is better to ignore this error
- report, also by memory shortage. It is also advantageous if you want
- to read in a CD-Rom all night long without getting an error report at
- picture no. 97 of 3000 next day and the time has been wasted.
-
- Picture Warn
- On: Shows when a picture format was not recognized. But it's like
- the "Loader Error". When searching picture CD's it doesn't exist
- pictures only but also programs and textes. A requester will be
- opened which will show the error.
-
- Off: When a format is unknown Artstudion continious working with the next file.
- This is advantageous if you want to let work your computer lonely.
- A requester won't be shown and Artstudio will be worked with the next
- picture at once.
-
- Fast Zoom
- You should switch on "Fast zoom" if you don't set a high value on the
- quality when enlarging pictures otherwise the enlarged picture will be
- loaded and calculated new.
-
- Prefs
- Is this option activated the program adjustments and the ARexx macro list will
- be saved separately for each catalogue. So you have the possibility to
- state several ARexx scripts for each base file or several screen sizes ...
-
-
- STAMPS
- ------
-
- Here you can do all these adjustments which produces an impression on
- the pictures directly. You can decide between "ON", "OFF" and "INT"
- (interactiv).
-
- Border
- Lays a boarder around the picture. You can decide between "ON", "OFF"
- and "INT". When the function was set to interactiv, you will be asked at each
- picture again if you want to lay a boarder around the stamp.
-
- PAspect
- The picture will be reduced according to its proportion. When it is
- activ the picture will be reduced on the adjusted size even it follows
- a distortion of this picture. You can decide between "ON", "OFF", "INT".
-
- Dither
- It switchs on the dithering mode which will optimize the quality of
- the reduced picture. When the mode was set to OFF the processing rate of
- the pictures will be higher. You can decide between "ON", "OFF", "INT".
-
- Colour
- When PAspect is activ it can happens often that the stamps are smaller
- than the pretended picture size. You can fill in the blanks with the
- chosed colour by using "Colour". You can decide between "GRY" (grey,
- background colour), "BLK" (black) and "WHT" (white).
-
- Category
- You can decide between "OFF" and "INT". When the mode was set to interactive
- you can choose the category for each picture.
-
- External programs
- ArtStudio allows you to show all graphics by external viewers.
- To activate these external "showing programs" you have to choose the
- respectively check button ("ON" you will see) and it has to enter
- a path for the respectively viewer. By this way it is possible
- to add new graphic boards into ArtStudio or to show pictures faster
- and in more high-graded quality.
-
- You have to use the external programs only when the respectively switch
- and the main switch are activated. When one of both isn't activ it will
- be used the internal viewer.
-
- The main switch turns off all external viewers and only the internal viewer
- will be used.
-
- Start-up
- By using "Start-up" you choose an ArtStudio catalogue which will be
- loaded at once when ArtStudio has been started. If you work mostly
- with only one catalogue the procedure of loading will be omitted
- after starting of the program.
-
- Temp
- This makes it possible to choose the directory used by ArtStudio for the
- intermediate filing of files/calculations. When working with ADPro or
- later versions of ArtStudio you need a lot of memory. If you have
- enough memory you set "Temp" on "Ram" by that the picture manipulation
- will be faster. If you have not enough memory you should put "Temp" on
- the hard disc (for examble "Work:") where are minimal 8 MB disc memory free.
- When the pictures are larger you should have more disc memory.
-
- Screen Mode
- Here you adjust the required screen mode. The minimal size is
- 640 x 256. Otherwise the sizes is bounded only by the extension of
- the memory.
-
-
- PRIORITY
- Each program in the multitasking system has a certain priority which
- indicates the processing time for that program. When the priority is
- high the program will get more processing time to work faster. The
- disadvantage is that other programs will be neglected when the prio-
- rity is too high and it will be impossible to work with them.
-
- If you want to let work ArtStudio in the background you should use a
- priority of -1 or -3. If ArtStudio will be used alone or it has to
- work all night long you should use a priority of 3 or 5 by that Art-
- Studio could be faster. How much faster please test it by yourself.
-
- STATUS
- The status display informs you how long a process has been made progress.
- By that you can see how long it will takes time. For examble the status
- display will be used when loading pictures. When the status display isn't
- activ the working will be any faster.
-
- PICTURE INFO
- When it was activated a window will be opened while Artstudio working a picture
- which states each name and each picture size.
-
- PREVIEW
- Any functions are not yet available!
-
- STARTING AREXX
- You have 2 chances to start ARexx scripts from ArtStudio. The first
- chance is the synchron mode that means the ARexx script will be
- worked and after finishing, it's possible again to work with ArtStudio.
- The other chance is the asynchron mode that makes it possible to
- start an ARexx script during working without waiting for the ending
- of the ARexx script. In that case it will be renounced of any result.
- Moreover in the asynchron mode you can control ArtStudio by Art-
- Studio, for examble to change the preferences.

- can adjust here the intermediate saving of the catalogue by ArtStudio
- after a certain number of pictures has been converted. Therefore you
- can make eventually damages so low as possible.
-
- Loader
- Here you can choose the needed loader for the pictures. If an "UNIVERSAL"
- loader was chosed all known formats will be read. If you want to read only
- one certain picture format for examble to create a catalogue with "IFF"
- pictures you have to choose the "IFF" loader. The sign "_" at the begin of
- the loader name shows you that it is an ARexx script to convert pictures
- by ADPro for examble. You are able to create your own ARexx loaders for
- using other programs. Please read also "ARexx loader".

- ==============
-
- ArtStudio includes a very big loaderpackage, which knows the most
- populars graphicformats.
- But sometimes it isn`t easy to recognize the right graphicformat, because
- the picture doesn`t have any characteristic format informations.
- ArtStudio knows 25 graphicformats at the moment. Theoretical it`s possible
- that a file (program, text, sound usw.) contains data`s like a graphicformat.
- In that case it could happen that Artstudio thinks the file is a graphicfile and
- so an error could occur. So the user have to watch out himself that it doesn`t
- happen. Artstudio manages the loaders as independent files, so that additional
- improvements and extensions can make easy. You can create your own graphic
- loader. If you want that, you can get the developer documents from our technical
- hotline (see hotline)

- 3DLOOK
- ======
-
- The 3DLOOK operator is a variant of the LINEART operator.
- But the 3DLOOK operator doesn`t work with a new ramsection.
- As a result of this, a 3D effect (shadow) is arising. Above all, the
- operator makes sense if you want to manipulate handdrawn pictures.
- The operater doesn`t make sense if you have scanned pictures or
- videopictures. Because, their own picture rustling is to high.

-
-
-
- AND
- ===
-
- The AND operator is a logical mathematic function. A example
- follows to explain it`s function.
-
- We choose a colornumber between 0 and 255, e.g. 255.
- This colornumber has to become filtering by the AND operator
- with the number 85.
-
- The numbers have to set in binary format. To make it easier
- you can see a table which shows the decimal and the binary
- format. You have to add the numbers only and then you get the
- right result.
-
- 1 => %00000001
- 2 => %00000010
- 4 => %00000100
- 8 => %00001000
- 16 => %00010000
- 32 => %00100000
- 64 => %01000000
- 128 => %10000000
-
- as result: decimal 255 is binary %11111111
-
- 255 => %11111111
- & 85 => %01010101 & a replacement for AND operator
- ---------
- %01010101 => 85
- =========
-
- You see, you have to set a "1" if the first and second
- row contains a "1". "0" plus "1" gives "0" and also "1" plus "0"
-
- Another little example:
-
- 141 => %10001101
- & 240 => %11110000
- ---------
- %10000000 => 128
- =========

- ARexxProgramme
-
-
-
- ARexx programs
- ==============
-
- In this section we explain the enclosed ARexx-programs and also
- you can learn how to program your own ARexx-script.
-
-
- enclosed ARexx-Programs
- -----------------------
-
- The Artstudio package contains a lot of ARexx-programs ready to run. Now we want
- to explain how you can use the programs. We starting with the program
- "Load.asrx". This script enables you to hand over pictures from other programs
- to Artstudio and take them into the catalogue.
-
- Now, please start the "Load.asrx" as an ARexx-program and hand over
- the complete picture path. Please ensure that you have set the picture path
- into quotation marks. Without, there may be errors while loading the picture
- if it contains spaces in its name.
-
-
- First we show you some ARexx-scripts, these scripts making your work with
- Arstudio more easier. Mainly, you can influence the ArtStudio settings.
- You have the possibility to start the scripts directly from Artstudio
- (ASYNCHRON-MODE only) or from other programs.
-
- Of course, we have pretended a few possibilities only. But you can change
- all other settings per ARexx, too. Therefore you can use every program
- to change the Artstudio settings.
- If you start ARexx-scripts from ArtStudio please remember to start the ASYNCHRON-Mode
- before (see Artstudio preferences). If you don`t, Artstudio stops runing
- and you can`t break the script anyway.
-
-
- ErrorOn ErrorOff
- ----------------
-
- With this script you can enable or disable the error message. Therefore
- you can enable the errormessage shortly and e.g., look for why the last picture
- wasn`t loaded.
-
- parameter: none
-
- example : ErrorON The errormassage is activated
-
-
-
- FastZoomOn FastZoomOff
- ----------------------
-
- With this script you can select whether the zoom function is set to quick or
- is set to slow (for more quality). If you use the FastZoomOn function the stamp
- will enlarge by an optimized routine and if you use the FastZoomOff function
- the original picture will be reloaded, new calculated and scaled. In fact off this
- you get a higher picture quality.
-
- parameter: none
-
- example : FastZoomOn The scaling is shown in best quality
-
-
-
- To hand over pictures to other programs
- =======================================
-
- Now, we explain the ARexx-scripts whom can hand over pictures from Art-
- studio to another program. Please watch out, not all programs known so
- much graphicfromats like Artstudio does and then errors could be happen.
- But we think, all programs should known the IFF-format and if you use this
- format the transmition will work out all right. Supposing you have to send a
- different fileformat like "gif" e.g. you can use the ConvertStudio to put the
- picture in the right format.
-
- Be valid for all scripts (ImageTo...)
-
- parameter: FILENAME/K (path and name together!)
-
-
- example : ImageToADPro.asrx "Work:Bilder/Testbild"
-
-
-
- ImageToADPro
- ------------
- The picture will send to Artdepartment prof.
-
-
- ImageToDPaint
- -------------
- The picture will send to Dpaint4. But remember, Dpaint 4 doesn`t supports
- ARexx-commands and therefore it`s only possible to hand over the path
- and picture-name while Dpaint4 is starting. And also remember, DPaint supports
- the IFF-Format only.
-
-
-
- ImageToDPaint5
- --------------
- The picture will send to DPaint5. But remember, DPaint5 knows the
- IFF-Format only.
-
-
- ImageToDPaint5Brush
- -------------------
- The picture will send to DPaint5. The picture will hand over as a
- brush. Only IFF-format possible!!
-
-
-
- ImageToFinalWriter
- ------------------
- The picture will send to FinalWriter. The picture will open on the
- first document.
-
-
- ImageToFinalWriter2
- -------------------
- The picture will send to FinalWriter. The picture will open on the
- second document.
-
-
- The construction of the following scripts are identical to the explained above.
-

-
- ImageToImageFX
- ImageToImageMaster
- ImageToMovieShop
- ImageToPPaint
- ImageToScala

- To send pictures via modem
- ===========================
- If you use the program Term, you can send pictures via modem with
- these three Arexx-scripts.
-
-
- ClearTermUpload
- ---------------
- Herewith you can delete the upload list to avoid that previously sent
- pictures are sending twice.
-
- parameter: none
-
- example : ClearTermUpload.asrx
-
-
- ImageToTerm

-
- or : ImageToTerm.asrx %s
-
- %s see handing-over-parameters!!
-
-
- SendTermUpload
- --------------
- With this script you can send the complete contents of the upload list.
-
- Parameter: none
-
- example : SendTermUpload.asrx
-
-
- picture displaying
- ==================
- All ARexx-scripts whom starting with "ShowImage..." are for displaying
- the picture with external viewers. Artstudio allows you to choose a separate viewer
- for each graphic format . You can take this settings in the ArtStudio
- perferences. But if you like ARexx so much, you can do the same with the these
- ARexx-scripts.
-
-
- hand over pictures to Artstudio
- ===============================
- With a short ARexx-script it`s possible to hand over pictures from
- other programs to Artstudio. For example, you use the directory-mananger
- "DirectoryOpus". Then you can hand over pictures to Artstudio with a
- easy mouseclick. Please remember, to set path and picturename in quotation
- marks if they containing spaces.

- Tools
- =====
-
- Artstudio also includes some useful tools, whom making it easier to work
- with Artstudio.
-
-
- FX Studio
- =========
- An external picture manipulation program which allows you to load,
- to manipulate and to transform any picture you like.
- After starting the program a working area appears which is subdivided in
- serveral fields.
- In the hightest field you can see the name and the size of the loaded
- picture. Under this, you can see four listwindows with the specificated
- modules. And in the lowest area you can see the statusdisplay.
- You can start the respective modul by double click on its name.
-
-
-
- Convert Studio
- ==============
- A useful tool to convert pictures in different graphicformat.
- If you start Convert Studio from DirOpus you can convert
- idividual pictures or a whole directory.
-
-
- Starting from CLI
- -----------------
- If you have started ConvertStudio from SHELL or CLI you
- can hand over the following parameters.
-
- LOADER/K SAVER/K QUALITY/N FROM/K TO/K
-
- LOADER
- ------
- Herewith you can load a certain graphicformat.
- Basicsetting = "UNIVERSAL"
-
- SAVER
- -----
- Herewith you can select the graphicformat in which the picture
- has to be saved.
- Basicsetting = "JPEG"
-
- QUALITY
- -------
- If you have selected the "JPEG" savermodul you can also declare
- the desired qualitiy of the pictures. 1 is the poorest qualitiy and
- 100 is the best quality.
- Basicsetting = "80"
-
-
- FROM
- ----
- Here, you can type in the path and the name of the picture. If
- you haven`t typed in a name, a filerequester appears in which you
- can select the desired path and name.
-
- TO
- --
- Here you can type in the destination directory, in which you like
- tio save the picture. If you haven`t typed in a name, a filerequester
- appears in which you can select the desired path and name.
-
-
-
- Example
- -------
-
- ConvertStudio LOADER=UNIVERSAL SAVER=JPEG QUALITY=50 FROM=Work:Bilder/Bild1 TO=Ram:Test
-
- Attention!
- ----------
- If the name or path containing spaces you have to set the whole part in quotation marks.
-
- Example
- -------
-
- ConvertStudio FROM="Work:Bilder/Bild 1" TO="Ram:Test Nr.1"
-
-
- Starting from WB
- ----------------
- If you start ConvertStudio from the workbench a filerequester
- appears in which you can choose the picture you like to load.
- After this another filerequester appears which ask you for the
- destination path and name. Basicsettings are: LOADER=UNIVERSAL,
- SAVER=JPEG and QUALITY=80
-
-
- View Studio
- ===========
- This program is for viewing any picture you like. If you
- start this tool from e.g. DirOpus you can display all selected
- pictures in a DiaShow.
-
-
- Starting from CLI
- -----------------
- If you start ViewStudio from SHELL or CLI you can hand over
- the following parameters
-
- LOADER/K VIEWER/K /F
-
- LOADER
- ------
- Herewith you can type in the loadername for a certain graphicformat.
- Basicsetting = "UNIVERSAL"
-
- VIEWER
- ------
- Here, you have to select the specificated viewermodule
- for your computer system (ECS,AGA....)
- Basicsetting ="ECS_GREY"
-
- Also you have to declare the path and the name of the picture
- which you like to dispay.
-
-
- Example
- -------
-
- ViewStudio LOADER=UNIVERSAL VIEWER=CYBER_16BIT_FAST Work:Bilder/Bild1
-
- Attention!
- ----------
- If the name or path contains spaces you have to set the whole part in quotation marks.
-
-
- Example
- -------
-
- ViewStudio LOADER=UNIVERSAL VIEWER=CYBER_16BIT_FAST "Work:Bilder/Bild 1"
-
-
-
- Parameter
-
-
-
- Handing-over parameter
- ======================
-
- The handing-over parameter are used for to give further informations to
- ARexx-scripts or to external programs. It`s very usefull or even necessary
- to hand over certain informations to other programs or ARexx-scripts.
- Therefore, Artstudio has declared the most parameters as shortcuts which
- starts with a % character.
-
- You didn`t have to watch out for capital or short letters
-
- %S path and filename of the chosen picture will hand over.
-
- %F only the picture-filename will hand over
-
- %P only the path of the picture will hand over
-
- %R a filerequester will open.As well, you have the possibility to choose the
- desired picture or text comfortable and if you have selected, the parameter
- will hand over to the script automatically.
-
- %T The temp-path will hand over. According to the perferences-settings the
- corresponding path will hand over. Also you can use the temp-path for
- other program therefore you always didn`t have to change the path if
- you use a differnt script or program.
-
- %D The file-path of the loaded stamps will hand over. That means, it
- will be hand over the path from which the basefile was opened plus
- the subdirectory of the stamps. It`s easier as it`s seems.
-
- a example:
- You have loaded the basefile into Artstudio. The path is
- "Work:BaseDateien/TestBase/" and the subdirectory is "Stamps/".
- That means a string called "Work:BaseDateien/TestBase/Stamps/"
- will hand over.
-
- %%
- As we you use the "%" characters as a flag for handing-over parameters,
- sometimes it could happen that you need the "%" character in a filename
- or something else. Herewith you can use "%" in a string. Please remember
- that you don`t hand over a separted "%" character without handing-over
- parameters, may be errors could occure.
-
-
- some example for explaining
- ---------------------------
- We want operating with an external viewer. The viewer-name is "Anzeiger"
- and lies in the C:directory then the input-command should reads as the following:
- C:Anzeiger %s
-
- C:Anzeiger %s
-
- Of course, you can hand over parameters to the viewer, too.
-
- C:Anzeiger SCALE LEFTMOUSEBUTTON %s
-
- or
-
- C:Anzeiger SCALE %s LEFTMOUSEBUTTON
-
- or
-
- C:Anzeiger %s SCALE LEFTMOUSEBUTTON
-
- At the places where you can see "%s" there will hand over the path and the name
- of the picture automatically. The path and name will set in quotation marks allways.

- Questions and Answers
- =====================
-
- If you a troubles with ArtStudio? This section will be the right for you.
- Here we try to answer the FAQ`s and other problems which could happen
- if you use ArtStudio.
-
- Question:
- Why I can`t load my picture XY ???
- Answer:
- May be, you have selected the wrong loader-module in the
- preferences. Always use the universal loader, because it
- knows the right loader automatically.
-
- Or, the picture-format wasn`t supported yet. In that case,
- you can send us the recongized pictures and if you have
- some doc`s about it`s format. Then we will try to create
- a special loader for you. Our address you can find at the
- end of this manual.
-
- Question:
- Why the picture will not be displayed ?
- Wieso wird das Bild nicht angezeigt?
- Answer:
- May be, you have selected the wrong viewer-module in the
- preferences. Please choose the right viewer-module for your
- the system. (ECS-Machines =>ECS viewer etc.)
-
- Or, you didn`t have enough chipmem free or your chipmen
- is fragmented. Please close other programs which using chip
- e.g. paintprograms. If nothing brings a result you have to
- do a reset.
- Question:
- Why doesn`t converts Arstudio all the pictures in the directory ??
- Answer:
- You have selected a specified loadermodul, but the directory contains
- differnt graphic-formats. Please choose the UNIVERSAL-loader, then
- you can get all pictures.
-
- Or, you didn`t have enough RAM free or your RAM
- is fragmented. Please close other programs which using RAM
- e.g. paintprograms and so on. As nothing brings a result, it may
- be, that you didn`t have enough memory in your system avaible.
- So you have to by further FastRAM or use a Virtuell Memory-manager
- like VMM (Shareware, but fully functionable)
-
-
- Question: I can`t hand over the selected picture to another program!!
- Answer:
- It may be, that you don`t have starting the programm "RexxMast"
- which have to start before using ARexx-commands. You can find
- this program on your system-partition in the system-directory.
-
- Paintprograms like DPaint can`t read all graphic-formats, therefore
- errors could be happen if you try to hand over Jpeg picture to
- DPaint. Use the convert-function of ArtStudio to put the picture
- in the right format (e.g. Jpeg to IFF) before you hand over it.
-
-
- Question:
- Sometimes it happens that Artstudio stops reading pictures from CD.
-
- Answer:
- We have found out that if you have a certain hardware configuration
- (e.g. FastlaneZ3 with an old Eprom) the SCSI-Bus stops working.
- That`s no failure of ArtStudio. It is advisable to use a other CD-file-system,
- if you have. If you don`t like this suggestion, there is a little trick
- to restart the SCSI-Bus. Go back on the workbench screen and open
- a CLI or a Shell, thereby the SCSI-Bus will restart.
-
- Question:
- If I tried to read a certain CD, Artstudio crashs down!!
-
- Answer:
- We have found out that some picture containing illegal
- characters in it`s name e.g. "#" or "?". These are wildcards
- which are using by the AmigaDOS. So, if Artstudio tried
- to compare if the picture is already catalogized the system
- could crash down.
