There is a new companion application to Translator and Creator. GreyEdit processes greyscale images. It contains several extremely fast image processing filters, histogram equalization and range expansion. There's also noise pixel editing and image cutting with optional zoom for precision. It accepts either greyscale Clear files (e.g. produced by Translator with 'Black and white' option on), or input from my home-brew video digitiser (for the happy few who were so smart to buy one (or build one, as it's in the Dutch Elektor this month !) :-). GreyEdit is the third member of my 'image processing package' (sic), so registration for Translator and Creator also registers you for GreyEdit. As very few people (I can count them on one hand) decided to do so (nobody really seems to be using Translator, or Creator, and probably nobody will ever touch GreyEdit, eh guys ?), this may well be the last. (Come on, people!). The latest versions of Translator, Creator and GreyEdit were posted to the comp.binaries.acorn moderator and to the Newcastle filesever.

Ever had a program that draws something wildly interesting ? Ever wished that you could convert it to a draw-file ? A friend of mine, Pieter Gosselink (he made the icons for Translator and Creator you like so much), finished the first version of an application that does just that. Not just the easy bits, the works ! !VDUobject accepts a file containing a sequence of VDU commands, and converts it to a draw file. When loaded into Draw, the original objects drawn by the VDU sequence are recreated, and can thereafter be manipulated at will. Needless to say, printing the image will result in a hard-copy with a much larger resolution. Circles will look like circles, not like some circle-like structure of 'bricks'. A cut-down version of !VDUobject was posted to the comp.binaries.acorn moderator and to the Newcastle filesever. The full version is available for a song (don't take this too literally), so he can make a tiny bit of money out of it, which is fully and truly deserved.
