Can anyone help me with the conversion of Imagine 2 pictures after they have been rendered. I need to convert them into normal IFF pictures so I can load them into DPaint. This problem also applies to animations. Imagine usually puts the rendered pictures into 2 files none of which will load as IFF`s. Could someone tell me how to convert them so they can be loaded as IFF pictures and animations Thanks. —–Richard Daniel.

Michael Buy ADPRO from ASDG and it will load Imagine images and you can convert them to anything you like Mike

Dear Richard, Take a look at the Sub-project panel when you prepare to render a new project or by clicking on the modify button for an existing project, there are a few gadgets there that will allow you to select between rendering in either RGB, Separate R G B,IFF,IFF24,DCTV,and Firecracker formats as I recall. Once IFF is chosen it is simple to load the images into DPaint. I haven't tried an animation yet but I expect it will work. While you're in the Sub-project panel check out the "Presets" button, for quick set up of image parameters. No matter how long the manual is don't give up hope. Kapryan Kennedy

Michael, you can use conversion software to transform your current frames into standard IFF format, but for any future projects, simply pick the right format in the Project editor's "Modify subproject" screen. Stills default to Impulse's own RGB8 format; to create standard Amiga IFFs, click on "ILBM-12bit" and select the appropriate graphic mode. (AA chipset, HAM, register-based i.e. hi- or lo-res, and whether the image should be interlaced or not) For example, to create 16-color hi-res images, your subproject would probably specify these parameters: width = 640 height = 400 X aspect = 6 Y aspect = 7 stills file format = ILBM-12bit amiga viewmodes = hi-res + interlaced The first 4 parameters will be set automatically if you select the hi-res preset. Blaq!
