[comp.sys.apple2] ComputerEyes GS

steve@pro-hindugods.cts.com (Steve Fenwick) (05/31/91)

I have the ComputerEyes GS color video digitizer and I'm pretty happy with
it except for it's slow scanning time and it's awful color capabilities.
I know the scanning rate cant be changed (unless you upgrade to
ImageWorks), but I figure with the 3200 color graphics out now, there might
be a way to convert Computereyes raw data format to 3200 color or GIF.
Raw data files have 192,000 bytes of info (64k of R,G,&B)  This makes for
some color gradients that even an IBM can't handle.
Does ANYONE out there have any idea of a program that can use these raw
data files?!?!?!?  E-mail responses welcome....

Steve

The Graphics Exchange (Roger Wagner Publishing) can handle this -
either in the program, or through one of the library disks.

Seth wanted to know about 3200 color pictures from Computereyes raw images...

There is a program titled Emerald Vision (note singular--not plural -- plural
is the paint program's title) that should be floating around that allows one
to take raw images from the ProDOS 8 version of ComputerEyes Gs and convert
them to 3200 color format as well.  It's not the most friendly app, though. 
TGE would probably be your best bet when the second library disk becomes
available.  (I just hope John Maclean got my email a while back!) My main
gripe with the first library disk is the total lack of dithering after palette
selection when going from GIF's with greater than 16 colors to a 16 color
format.   But that's apart from the subject.

	On that note, where can I ftp Emerald Vision from?
