(full version) The demo version displays in greyscale only. The loading functions of the full version are for color loading at least as fast as the loading of the demo version in greyscale. Only displaying on palette oriented screens (upto 256 colors) can be slower for color displaying due to the larger number of colors which have to be requested from the operating system. PhotoAlbum can currently read the following formats directly: 1) IFF-ILBM (all standard formats 1 to 8Bit, EHB, HAM6, HAM8, 15Bit, 24Bit) 2) PhotoCD (Base format 768x512 or 512x768 (portrait); linear 24Bit RGB) 3) JPeg (color and greyscale; incl. progressive JPeg) 4) PPM/PGM/PBM (P1&P4 b&w, P5 grey, P6 color) 5) QRT (also known as dump format by PD raytracers as POV-Ray) 6) Targa (RLE compr.&uncompr. 1/8/15/16/24/32Bit; incl. interleaved) 7) PCX (compr.&uncompr. EGA1-4Bit, VGA 8Bit grey/Colormap and 24Bit) 8) BMP (uncompr. 24Bit RGB,1Bit,4Bit or 8Bit Colormap; RLE compressed 8Bit,1Bit) 9) TIF (packbit-compr.&uncompr. 24Bit,1-8Bit grey/Color Motorola&Intel formats) 10) DEEP (compr.&uncompr. IFF-DEEP 24Bit and 32Bit formats) 11) YUV (color 1:1:1, 2:1:1, 4:1:1 and greyscale) 12) VLAB raw (color 1:1:1, 2:1:1, 4:1:1 and greyscale) 13) RGB (IFF-RGB: RGB8 and RGBN compressed; RGB5 uncompressed) 14) HHsYUVSq sequence format (sequential or random access) 15) IFF-PBM (DPII) format 16) ACBM (IFF-ACBM: 1 to 8Bit, EHB, HAM6, HAM8) 17) FBM (8Bit grey/Colormap and 24Bit) 18) Sun raster (uncompressed formats for 1Bit, 8Bit grey/ColorMap and 24Bit) 19) MacPaint (b&w compressed 1Bit format; datafork only) 20) HHsXRL formats (1-8Bit ColorMap incl. HAM6/8, 8Bit grey, 24Bit RGB compressed) 21) binary-EPS bitmaps (RGB and CMYK; this function is experimental) 22) TBCPlus frames & fields In addition picture and animation DataTypes are supported as well (for animation DataTypes at least OS3.1 is needed; for picture DataTypes now the new 24Bit interface of picture.datatype V43 is supported as well). System requirements: CyberShow and PhotoAlbum should be usable on all Amigas and Dracos with + OS3.0 or higher + sufficient memory (about 4MByte Fast-RAM should be enough for normal usage) For displaying in TrueColor/HighColor quality you also need + "Picasso 96 software" (available for free on Aminet gfx/board) from Vil- lagetronic and a suitable graphic board; Picasso 96 software includes a simulated cybergraphics.library which will be used by CyberShow and PhotoAlbum. The Picasso 96 software also includes a 24Bit Datatype system, which can be used by the latest versions of my CyberShow/PhotoAlbum package to access modern datatypes in TrueColor and chunky format. or + cybergraphics.library V40 or higher and a suitable graphic board (CyberGraphX is a Workbench emulation/True color software extension which is usable in conjunction with several graphic boards as the Cybervision, Piccolo, SD64, Picasso, Retina-BLTZ3, Spectrum, Domino. It is Copyright by Thomas Sontowski and Frank Mariak. There also exists a 24Bit Datatype system for CyberGraphX, but it seems to have an integrated expiration date, so it may be unusable now, unless you find a recent version of it. Please note: The Draco computer already contains a built-in graphic board so that you can display in TrueColor/HighColor without additional hardware.
