Cloanto Personal Paint This disk contains a Demo version of Personal Paint for the Amiga systems. Functionally, the software is identical to the commercial version (it even saves and prints), except for a pattern of "DEMO" text symbols which may sometimes be overlaid to the image. The remaining files (pictures, color fonts, data, Amiga system resources, etc.) have in part been reduced or changed to fit on a single disk. Personal Paint may be launched with a double-click on its Workbench icon, on any Amiga with 1 Mbyte of RAM (ideally, Chip RAM). In order to fully exploit the disk capacity, Personal Paint itself has been compressed. On not so fast systems, decompression may slow down the initial loading of the program. A condition of low or fragmented memory may cause the program not to be loaded and decompressed correctly. The "Pictures" drawer contains several 256-color images, plus examples of color reduction, color merge and image processing entirely created with Personal Paint. The program automatically reduces the number of colors of an image if the computer on which it is loaded does not have an AGA (Advanced Graphics Architecture) chip set, or an RTG (Retargetable Graphics) compatible display board. In case of color reduction, the "Settings/Color Remapping/Floyd-Steinberg" option usually gives the best results. It is very easy to explore Personal Paint by choosing from the variety of menus and gadgets. It is recommended to make a backup copy of the program disk before experimenting with functions which write data. The gadgets on the tool bar which is displayed on the left of the screen may respond differently depending on the pointer's position over the gadget (upper or lower half), the mouse button which is used (left or right), and the number of mouse clicks (cycle gadgets). For example, the tool to the right of the "a" text editing symbol activates the image processing functions. If it is selected with the right mouse button, a requester appears to select different image processing options. The area on which image processing is to be applied can be delimited by dragging the mouse (i.e. moving it while the left button is held down). The "Settings/Language" options in this version of Personal Paint can be used to set the user interface language to either English, German or Italian. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal Paint main program (Demo version), support files and programs, screens, artwork, documentation and image collection, Copyright © 1992, 1993 Cloanto Italia sas.
