- SUMMARY:
-
- PreVue is a graphics file viewer, general image utility and Multimedia
- player, distributed as 100% Functional Shareware.
-
- Features outstanding ease-of-use; easy access to all controls with minimal
- keyboard input, mouse movements and learning. Includes basic, intermediate
- and advanced Help functions.
-
- Features full GIF 87a/89a support (and Comment viewing) with probably the
- fastest GIF decode to screen routines in Windows (written in assembly).
- Includes Full Screen decoding option (for those that miss DOS). Also, fully
- supports PCX, TIFF, TGA, BMP, DIB, WPG, and DCX formats. Includes support
- for JPG/JIF (JPEG File Interchange Format, JFIF) files and raster image
- support for EPS and Mac PICT files.
-
- Multimedia support includes AVI video, WAV audio, MIDI music and FLI/FLC
- animation files. AVI playback uses low level MCI video commands, allowing
- for full scalability in a sizeable window. Includes AVI frame grab function
- to import and save AVI frames to other formats.
-
- Image printing on B/W printers supports error-distributed dithering for
- superior gray shades. Interface includes a simulated document to resize and
- position image on paper before printing.
-
- PreVue also converts file formats, sharpens, smoothens, adjusts contrast
- and brightness, resizes, flips/rotates, dithers, reduces colors, and
- converts to gray, among other features.
