I see.By the way….What is exactly "Sliced Hold and MODIFY"?And one more
question…When I execte the GIFTOTMP command why do GIFS become 10 times
bigger?? Thanks,<<Sergio>>
"Sliced Hold and Modify", aka SHAM, is a variation on the "Hold and Modify"
(HAM) display mode of the Amiga. Normal HAM images are based on a palette of
16 colors, and all other colors on the screen are formed by holding the color
of the previous pixel and modifying it. What SHAM does is change the values
used in that 16 color palette during the display of the image (once per line,
in fact), so that more pixels can be based on the palette colors, and therefore
the image looks a lot smoother.
As for why GIF files grow so large when converted to TMP files, you have to
realize that GIF images are heavily compressed to start with, and that TMP
images are not compressed at all. Also, the raw data is in a larger format
with the TMP files, so that multiplies the size difference there too.
