Especially old ones, animations are rarely made with locked-palettes. This can however disturb and blur some of your images, so don't blaim me, it's IFF. But, I think, the speed will increase. If you have a rather old animation-program, you could use this script. Useage: rx rexx:LockPalette.rexx This scripts will end very FAST, because only the palette will be loaded. And off course locked. (just in case you might think nothing happened.) Now what? You can now use the next script: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UseLockedPalette.rexx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This script will load an IFF image, and render a new image, based on the locked palette. You can choose to apply dither or not. Useage: rx rexx:UseLockedPalette.rexx Where: : code to apply dither type. 0: No dither 1: Floyd-Steinmann. there are more. It doesn't matter if your locked palette is bigger or smaller than the one you need to call this script. However, I strongly advice that for example, that if you locked a 32-color image, you should apply this script on a 32-color image. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UnLockPalette.rexx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To turn the palette back to normal, you should call this script. It is simple, you don't need any arguments. Useage: rx rexx:UnLockPalette.rexx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ColorToGray.rexx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This script will turn any color image to gray, using on of ADPro's operators. Guess which one. Useage: rx rexx:ColorToGray.rexx Read the "FrequentRoutines"-doc if you want to learn about the result-palette. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colors.rexx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This one will not only change your palette, but also your maximum colors in IFF-mode. The script works with any image, but I would advice to only use IFF-images, including 24Bit. If you convert from 24Bit, you could better use the script "24Bit->IFF.rexx" (general). Useage: rx rexx:Colors.rexx Where: : 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 HAM8 HAM 24BIT The palette will be adjusted accordingly. It is best to move to higher colors, like from 2 to HAM8. If you want to go to lower colors, use "24Bit->IFF.rexx". The latter will apply some dithering if you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE END ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan Van Overbeke.
