#PCX Files
G'Day George
Problems with PCX files is not something I have come across because I always
convert my bitmap images to IFF-ILBM before I do any work in ProPage. This is
just one part of the preparation I do before loading ProPage to start a
document. I would like to point that the program I use to do my conversion is
one called ImageStudio by Andy and Graham Dean. (not to be confusion with
Studio 2 Professional, the printing ehancment package.)
ImageStudio has a batch convert script which I also use. I have a Panasonic PD
system with CD drive and simply use ImageStudio to convert any PCX images I
might have on CD into IFF-ILBMs on my hard drive. Because it uses a disk cache
method, ah la virtual memory if you like, I can convert images that ADPro won't
touch with a barge pole on my lowly 7 megabyte system. In fact Image Studio is
so good, that when CU Amiga (UK Amiga magazine) suggested it should go
commercial, the authors and I got together and the upshot of this is that I
now sell the program with a manual for only fifteen pounds (30 us dollars
including postage).
The latest version is 2.3 which has cybervision support and a freely
distributable version is on Aminet. The FD version is restricted to loading
images no bigger than 250 by 250 pixels. Anyone wanting to know more, email me.
