ABOUT

-----

RNOEffects is a simple image processing program with a focus on good batch

conversion options and alpha channel based effects.

FEATURES

--------

- Around 30 different image processing effects including drop shadows,

elliptical crop, and other effects that would need several steps for other

similar programs

- Drawing options for brushes, text, lines, ellipses, boxes, and arrows

- Batch converter and image joining/combining tools

- All effects can be applied to images in a freely selectable order in a

batch conversion or image joining/combining process

- Unlimited number of images can be joined into a single image

- Supports saving to PNG, JPEG, GIF, ILBM, BMP, and all Amiga icon formats

- Can save multiple images as a single PDF file

- ARexx support

REQUIREMENTS

------------

- AmigaOS 3.0, fast CPU (68020 compatible), lots of memory

- MUI 3.8 or later (http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/mui38usr)

- TextEditor.mcc 15.47 (http://aminet.net/search?query=mcc+texteditor)

- codesets.library (http://aminet.net/search?query=codesets)

- guigfx.library (http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/guigfxlib)

- render.library (http://aminet.net/search?query=renderlib), v32 is probably

the best for <040 CPUs

- reqtools.library (http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/ReqToolsLib)

INSTALLATION

------------

Copy the whole directory anywhere you want and just launch the program

USAGE NOTES

-----------

- Next and previous images in a directory can be loaded by pressing the

up/down arrow keys or PageUp/PageDown keys.

- Use the left arrow key for Undo and the right arrow key for the Redo.

- Crop and Draw effect positioning can be set with a mouse press over an image

- The Keep mode (in the cycle gadet at the top right corner) retains the

main window size even if the content resolution changes.

- The Undo/Redo buffer requires quite a lot of memory, so undo levels are set

to a minimum for the OS3 version, but can be altered from the Settings menu

- The Background effect draws into transparent areas of an image. Transparency

is indicated with being able to see the checkered pattern in the program.

- The Alpha option in the Draw effect makes the effect to draw into an image's

alpha channel instead of the colour channel. It can be used to add or remove

transparency in images, such as, to make a part of an image see-through.

- Multiple effects can be applied to each image in a batch conversion process

when joining/combining images, or when creating a selected state image for

an icon. In all cases the order of the applied effects can be changed from

the Batch Convert window.

- Some icon formats have fall-back image(s) in the original AmigaOS icon

format. These fall-back icons are created automatically by the program.

All icon images (frames) can be previewed in the Icon options window.

- The program can store an image within the system's clipboard, but may not

preserve transparency information on all systems. The program's internal

buffer stores an exact copy of an image, so is better for internal use.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS AND ICON TOOLTYPES

---------------------------------------

RNOEffects uses non-standard command line arguments. Arguments must be given

in the form of (note the "-" prefix): -argument parameter

Allowed arguments:

-file <file> . . . . - Opens a picture file at startup

-defdir <dir> . . . . - Sets the initial directory to open files

-args . . . . . . . . - Shows the allowed arguments

Example:

RNOEffects -file "Work:Pics/Some picture.png"

The same arguments can be used as icon tooltypes, by omitting the "-" prefix.

Examples:

DEFDIR=Work:Pics

FILE=Work:Pics/MyPhoto.jpg

ICON (icon options are taken from the GUI)

<effect> <setting=value> . - Applies an effect with supplied settings

GET <FILE|RES> . . . . . . - Returns the requested value

GET <EFFECTS|<effect>> . . - Returns the list of effects or effect settings

Examples (MorphOS only):

RXCmd RNOEFFECTS.1 "GET draw"

RXCmd RNOEFFECTS.1 "draw subeffect=2 linex=10 liney=70 linel=80 linea=-45"

Examples (all Amiga compatibles):

RX "OPTIONS RESULTS;ADDRESS RNOEFFECTS.1;'GET blur';SAY RESULT"

RX "ADDRESS RNOEFFECTS.1;'blur radius=4'"

RX "ADDRESS RNOEFFECTS.1;'SAVE JPG:90 RAM:processed_image.jpg'"
