Short:    Adobe Photoshop  datatype V44.3 (68k,WarpOS,MorphOS)
Author:   oliver@futaura.co.uk (Oliver Roberts)
Uploader: oliver@futaura.co.uk (Oliver Roberts)
Version:  44.3
Type:     util/dtype
Requires: OS 3.0+,picture.datatype v43+

Changes since previous release:

 - Raised minimum WarpUp requirements from V4 to V5, due to cache flush
   bugs in V4 which cause images to be displayed incorrectly (black
   stripes, corrupt images or completely black images).  These bugs
   affected v44.2.  WarpUp V5 does not have these problems.
 - Cleaned up the WarpOS version, fixing some potential problems that
   could happen when an error occurred.
 - The installer now allows the destination of datatype files to be
   changed.


FEATURES

 - Handles Adobe Photoshop® 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 images
   (currently does not support layered images)

 - Most of the available modes are supported, including 24-bit RGB,
   Greyscale, Monochrome, 256 colour palette-based and CMYK images.
   Images using RLE compression are also supported

 - Highly optimized datatype dispatch engine and PSD decoder,
   resulting in a very efficient, compact and quick PSD datatype

 - Asynchronous file i/o and double buffering techniques (WarpOS only),
   which speeds up image decoding
 
 - Optimized versions for 68020, 030, 040 and 060

 - PowerPC support with native WarpOS and native MorphOS versions

 - Alter the pen allocation precision when images are remapped to an
   8-bit display

 - Specific support for the OS 3.5/3.9 picture.datatype, when available

 - The dithering feature of the OS 3.5/3.9 picture.datatype can be
   configured to your liking (e.g. disabled for 15/16-bit displays)


REQUIREMENTS

WarpPSD utilizes and requires the following:

 - Kickstart 3.0 or higher
 - picture.datatype v43 or higher
   (i.e. either of the ones supplied with AmigaOS 3.5/3.9, P96 or CGraphX)

 68k version

 - 68020 processor or higher (optimized versions included)

 WarpOS version

 - PPC accelerator card + 68040/060
 - WarpUp Release 5.0 or higher

 MorphOS version

 - PPC accelerator card
 - MorphOS beta release 1 or higher

Note that a graphics card is not necessary - the P96 or OS 3.5/3.9
picture.datatype will automatically dither images down to your display
requirements.
