-
- Visage is an IFF/GIF/JPeg/Datatypes viewer for the AmigaOS version 3.0 or
- higher. Main features include:
-
- · Support for AA (AGA), ECS, RTG, PCHG and SHAM. ;)
-
- · Can display "deep" pictures in all formats on ECS Amigas, rendered in
- HAM, "normal" color or grayscale (datatypes work differently).
-
- · Can scale "rendered" pictures to fit the screen.
-
- · Extensive monitor support. Uses a BestModeID()-like function to find a
- suitable mode (if needed).
-
- · Any native Amiga screen mode can be specified with text! No numbers
- needed. But you can use numbers, if you so wish. Or a requester.
-
- · Simple promotion of pictures to any installed monitor. No hardcoded
- command line options for this. There is even a monitor requester! ;)
-
- · Several slideshow options, including a random mode, making Visage ideal
- for use with screen blankers as an external module.
-
- · It's free!
-
-
- News in version 39.1 include:
-
- · Xpk code bugfixed/improved.
-
- · Color rendering (nice for owners of gfx-cards).
-
- · Two (optional) dither modes. Used for color and grayscale (16 colors)
- pictures.
-
- · Misc minor fixes.

- Installation notes:
-
- It is recommended to use the Installer, since it takes care of some
- not-so-obvious details, regarding the JPEG reader (in Visage) and the
- manual. If you wish to start the installer from the Shell, please use the
- ShellInstall script included. It sets some parameters correctly.
-
- Also, note that the automatic language selection doesn't completely work
- with all versions of the Installer.
