Short: SView5 Image Viewing/Processing Package Author: Andreas R. Kleinert Uploader: info ar-kleinert de Type: gfx/misc Version: 2.58 (9.10.2008) Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 3.1.0; ppc-morphos >= 2.0.0 ************************************************************************** ************************************************************************** What is the SView5 package actually ? It does consist of a huge object-oriented module set called "SView5-Library", that compromised many classes for loading/saving (SV5Objects), processing (SV5Operators) and rtg-displaying (SV5Drivers) graphics. These are dynamically loaded and flushed, depending on the free amount of memory - the system is very different from the OS' "datatype" system. SView5 a itself is localized graphics viewer, converter, editor and screen-grabber based on SView5-Library - with ARexx support, GUI, AmigaGuide online-help, Commodity-functionality and many other features (e.g. AppIcon, DefIcons). It also comes along with a number of external tools that have specific capabilities (read further). It supports 1-8/24 bit graphics with or without colormapped transparency or 8 bit truecolor alpha channel, i.e. 1-32 bit input. 48 bit or HDR images can be imported and processed - many different operations (image processing filters) are available for 8/24 bit mode, most of them also for 48 bit mode. Many image loader/savers and filters are alpha-channel aware. This results in 1-64 bit image processing capabilities. In addition certain aspects of metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, etc.) are supported. There are several programs included: - SView5: The powerful main program that allows to access all options and settings, allows to load, save, process and convert images - not only via the GUI but also using ARexx. With Clipboard and printer support (Studio/TurboPrint). Includes a RTG-compliant screen-grabber (8-24 bit), which also can be controlled via ARexx, using DOS wildcards to select a screen by its title. Provides access to all the included image processing filters (SV5Operators) with optional unlimited(!) undo. Allows to apply certain image filters (SV5Operators) only to a selected area of an image, plus assists in visually selecting such a region. In most cases, colors and other values (like transparency or opacity) also can be selected visually, directly pointing into the loaded graphics using the mouse. In "Slide View" mode it is possible to activate an image preview function which replaces the file requester and shows image thumbnails for each (known) graphics file format. - Plugins: - SView5 Loader/Saver Modules for ImageFX (TM) - SView5 Loader/Saver Modules for PPaint (TM) - SView5 Loader/Saver Modules for PageStream (TM) - SView5 Loader/Saver Modules for AdPro (TM) - JStream Loader/Saver Module (68k/MOS) for ImageFX (TM) - BatchProcess Batch conversion tool, for applying upto 4 image processing operaters to a number of graphics by wildcards and save them in a different file format, e.g. load a bunch of JPEGs, then resize, dither and save them as PNG files. - PNG-Box5, dedicated tools for creation of graphics for JPEG-Box5, WWW usage (HTML pages) with progressive/interlacing GIF-Box5: and transparency support, also for manipulation of PNG Icons (PNG-Box5) - WinSlide: for viewing images in a window on public screens, using as few memory as possible - smooth scrolling inclusive! Supports 8 through 24 bit displays. - ScrollSlide: like WinSlide but using its own screen, for best colors even on 8 bit displays - CyberSlide: like viewing images from SView5 using a CyberGfx SV5Driver with 16/24 bit capability, but implemented as small standalone program - SuperSlide: like CyberSlide but for AGA screens and screen modes, additionally dithering is done when necessary - SVPrefs: for changing settings of SView5-Library modules easily. Most people forget about WinSlide and the other tools, even when already been using the program for some time. So, don't forget to check them out when testing :-) SView5/-Library is NOT compatible with SViewIV and its predecessors, it also is NOT compatible with previous versions of the library and its sub-modules. OS 3.1 or greater is REQUIRED! ************************************************************************** SView5-Library Features ----------------------- Just requires OS V3.1 and 68000, but also makes use of available OS V3.5 and V3.9 features and 680x0 (030/040) module versions where applicable.
