[comp.sys.amiga] AMIGA ==> IBM ?

kianusch@unicom.UUCP (sayah karadji) (11/30/89)

Hi,

	I was wondering if the is a way to tranfer AMIGA hir-res pictures
	onto an IBM, and display them on the IBM...

	The Graphics I'm using are from DPainIII, and PhontonPaintII,
	I think the formats are HAM, and IFF... (I think !!!).

	Are there any PD, or comercial programs for that purpose?
				
					Thanx Kianusch

     I do mine on a commercial program called D2D which transfers all
Amiga files to an IBM 3 1/2. I found the best way to convert pictures
is to take your 32 color Amiga IFF pictures, load them into DigiView,
Load an IBM Palette, menu into palette, set the number of colors to 16,
freeze the palette, then display (and play around with the color control
registers...i.e. brightness,contrast...). Save the finished picture as
a sixteen color, then D2D the files over. IBM recognizes IFF. As far as
HAM pictures go, there is a program out there called HAM2IFF which will
convert your pictures into IFF, which is IBM readable. I don't know the
ftp site where it is located & I don't think it's fish. So any help to
this response would help.

Well, the easy conversion is the Dpaint III one.  Just transfer the files over
and run Dpaint II on the IBM.  You can load the IFF images right in.

If you need to convert, use a GIF conversion routine on the Amiga to store the
file in GIF format and then you can easily use another GIF decoder on the IBM
and save it into whatever format you desire such as PCX, PIC etc.

A couple of programs of real value for the IBM are Vpic and Picem.  They both
load in a variety of image types and save them out to another variety of Image
types.  They even allow you to play with the R,G,B values as well as contrast
and brightness before saving the files back out.

If you need any of these items, you can call my system and pick them up.
