-

- lists to start it.
-

-
- o Re-introduced GIF save (now much improved) via a freely distributable
- module.

- are kept (the rest of the buffer is blank).

-
- o Changed PCX saver: now saves smaller 24bit files.
-
- o Changed GIF loader: now loads GIF89a files.
-
- o Changed save and prefs requester layout slightly.
-
- o Changed: now tries to flush AmigaGuide library from memory when

- RAM when it was resident and ii) the library left a lock on the
- Workbench screen - thus stopping it from being closed.
-
- o Changed: now requires much less working memory when running.
-
- o Changed: now when changing the balance of an image whilst the preview
- is zoomed in, all the image is affected. This is now consistent with
- the effects.

- the ImageStudio screen had no name.

-
- o Added CyberGraphX support for viewers and program preview.

-
- o Fixed bug in datatypes IO module which caused annoying, but
- harmless, black lines to be displayed in the preview for
- images of 128 colours or less.
