Image64 may be invoked from CLI or Workbench. All functions can be selected via the menus. Although most items should be self-explanatory I will give a short description below. OPEN C64-PICTURE... Loads a file and tries to determine which kind of C64-picture it is. This is done by looking at the filesize and the C64 startadress (found in the first two bytes of a file). By now Image64 recognizes the following formats: Hires-Bitmap, Hires followed by Colormap, Koalapainter and AMICA-Paint (from the german "64'er-Magazin"). If Image64 thinks that a file is not a picture it will load nothing. SAVE AS IFF-ILBM... Saves the current screen as a crunched IFF-ILBM picture. ABOUT Displays information about Image64 and its author. QUIT Exits Image64. NOTE: The displaymode selected with NTSC / Pal (see below) will stay active! TITLEBAR Toggles the screen-titlebar on and off. NTSC/PAL Uses the 8372 Big-Agnus in order to switch between NTSC and PAL (only tested on PAL-Amigas). This will stretch/shrink the picture along the y-axis in order to adjust the aspect-ratio. NOTE: Under Kickstart 2.0 this might cause strange effects when dragging screens! PALETTE Pops up a palette requester that allows you to adjust the colors. C64-COLORS Resets the palette to the original C64-colors. THE FORCE MENU This menu allows the user to specify to which format a file should be forced, this is implemented for the case that the auto-recognition fails.
