Author: 100116.1070@compuserve.com (Wolf Faust) Uploader: 100116.1070@compuserve.com (Wolf Faust) Type: biz/patch Replace: biz/patch/PGSUniFilter14.lha This software adds/replaces many new graphic formats in PageStream V3.x/4.x. It does not only add formats, it also improves already supported formats by loading images MUCH faster. Note this solution is not based on a PageStream Script. It's a real PageStream filter. All formats are part of 'Studio's Universal' filter. The Universal filter supports: BMP: 1, 4, 8, 16 and 24 Bit, Windows V3 and OS/2 format, RLE4, 8, 24 compression DataTypes: OS 3.0 DataTypes DCX: only the first image is printed GIF: supports 87a and 89 format IFF ILBM: including HAM, HAM8, EHB,... IFF DEEP: 24 Bit RGB and RGBA, supports compression JPEG: 8 Bit and 24 Bit JFIF, progressive JPEG PCX: 1,2,4,8 and 24 Bit images PGM: 8-bit PNG: incl. interlaced PPM: 24-bit Targa: supports all known RGB, RGBA types incl. compression TIFF: 1-64 Bit, RGB, RGBA, CMYK, YCbCr with None, PackBits, RLE, JPEG, G3, G4, LZW and Next compression, Strips or Tiles, Packed or separate color The 'Universal' filter allows reading many image formats with PageStream V3/V4 wich are not originaly supported by PageStream. It also allows formats like IFF ILBM and others to be loaded much faster. For instance, 200-300% average speed increase for 24 Bit ILBM images. The filter is FREE to all owners of the CanonStudio and Studio printer software. The software requires PageStream V3.1-3.4, V4.0 or newer.
