Short: A Studio Print like Program (2.24) Author: Andrea.Latina@p14.f21.n334.z2.fidonet.org (Andrea Latina) Uploader: Andrea.Latina@p14.f21.n334.z2.fidonet.org (Andrea Latina) Version: 2.24 Type: gfx/misc Requires: OS 3.x EASY PRINT 2.24 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Easy Print is an utility written to easy the printing of pictures (coloured or black & white) on Amiga with few MB of RAM. For example, on a Amiga 1200 not expanded, it is possible to print coloured pictures (with a 24 bit per pixel precision) on a full A4 page with the maximum density. Main features include: - Loading of IFF files (from 1 to 24 bit per pixel) - Showing of the elaborated image on screen - Possibility to modify the colouring of the picture by operating on 5 different aspects: 1) Balancing (RGBK/CMYK) 2) Gamma (RGBK) 2) Contrast (RGBK) 4) Brightness 5) Saturation - Possibility to select among this dithers: 1) Floyd-Steinberg 2) Burkes 3) Ordered 4) Halftone 5) Romboid - Use System's printer drivers for printing in 24 bit per pixel! IMPORTANT!! EasyPrint is shareware, registering activates some options actually not working (why disabled): - Saving of the elaborated image in the IFF24 format - Loading of images in the JPEG (16 million of colours) format - Loading of images through datatypes (GIF, X-BitMap, TIFF, Targa, QRT, PCX are enclosed in the archive) - Use of Virtual Memory on disk (also on Amiga without MMU, as the Amiga 1200), for loading images of every size without being limited by the amount of RAM - Work screen with 256 colours for better rendering the 24 bit format of the image kept in memory - Possibility of cropping a section of the image, of elaborating and printing it separately from the whole picture (for example useful to eliminate borders, text or to print only a particular of the image) - Possibility of bending of a free number of degrees the dither of printing for each of the fundamental colour (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) for minimizing the tendency of the human eye to remark the horizontal and vertical lines generated by the standard dithers. - Possibility of dephase the dithers of printing for each primary colour to optimize blending of colours. - POSTER option, for printing Poster of every size! - A lot of dithers of printing (actually 11) to be used with EasyPrint. - Possibility of using many External Modules for S-FX!!
