VISION, what's that ?
VISION is a software tool under GEM :
- Managing image formats JPEG, TIFF, GIF, TARGA, BMP, IMG, X-IMG, DEGAS, ART DIRECTOR, NEOCHROME
- Multi documents, with clipboard management
- Tools : pencil, eraser, lines, ellipses, rectangles, blocks, zooms x 2, 4 ,8, 16, free block, arrays, color selection dropper, text, hand, palette management
- Image processing : resize, negative, mirors, rotations (1° accuracy), filtrering (using DSP on FALCON), brightness, gamma correction
- Smart disk undo (up to 99 undo levels !)
- Color print under NVDI or Speedo GDOS
But VISION is also much much better:
Real Time Zoom
Very fast, very useful and fully parametrable, it allows you an accuracy you never dare to imagine !
Slide-Show
You always wanted a good slide-show ? Here it is ! The album allows you to generate a slide-show file with criterias you want !
Album
Remember last time you were searching an image on a set of 1500 ? For VISION, each image can have up to three criterias on a set of 32 ! Smart filters then allow you to find in one click the losen image. One can also visualize its images in a window.
"Batch" conversions
Getting nervous with all these BMP files needing more and more space on you disk ? Just convert all to TIFF with LZW compression ! Just select the folders and the masks you want to apply on files and go !
Help bubbles
Never lost in VISION dialogs: wonderful help bubbles gives you all the information you need on the option you are staring at !
Histogramms
Just for fun : the Red-Green-Blue components of an image
Image Browser
Yeah ! Just like ACDSee ! Watch every images in a folder you want in a very simple way !
68000 / 68030 Optimizations
VISION's code includes some very powerful 68000 and 68030 optimizations Some examples:
LZW (GIF / TIFF) compression
Rotations
Grey level dithering (256 --> 16 colors) and True Color --> 256 colors
Filtrering (using DSP on FALCON)
ATARI Bitplanes to index transformations
Zooms
And let me remind you: it's free and open-source !
