ABOUT

-----

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

conversion options, alpha channel based effects, and pixel editing.

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

- Built-in pixel editor with configurable drawing options for left, middle,

and right mouse buttons

- Supports saving to PNG, JPEG, JPEG2000 (JP2/J2K), GIF, ILBM, BMP, TIFF

(Flate/JPEG), and all Amiga icon formats

- Supports both RGB and Palette modes for saving

- Can save and use custom palettes

- Can save images as chunky data

- Chunky images and palettes can be saved as C source code

- Can save multiple images as a single PDF or video file

- ARexx support

REQUIREMENTS

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

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

- 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.

- Function keys can be used to save an image as an RGB or Palette (P) format:

F1=PNG, F2=JPG, F3=BMP, F4=IFF, F5=PNG(P), F6=GIF(P), F7=BMP(P), F8=IFF(P),

F9=Icon F10=Palette (IFF/ILBM), F11=Palette (RGB32), F12=Chunky(P)

- The Space Bar key pauses the Color Picker tool

- 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 by displaying the checkered pattern in the program.

- The Alpha option in the Draw effect allows an 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.

- When opening an icon file with multiple images (states) in it, a custom

requester appears to allow you to choose the image in the icon you want to

load. The "Auto" option in the requester loads the normal unselected state

image as the main image in the program, but also loads the selected state

image in the internal buffer.

- To save a dual-state icon, open the Icon options window (Save as/Icon (F9)).

The image in the main window is used as the normal unselected state of your

icon, but its Selected state is defined with the "Selected" options. The

"Selected" state image can be created on-the-fly from the main image by

applying any custom effects to it (have your effects windows ready), or by

loading a selected image from a file, or by using an image in the internal

buffer. More detailed descriptions are in help bubbles that pop-up for

related gadgets.

- Properties of a loaded icon file are used via the Icon options window if the

"Load icon properties" setting is enabled.

- 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.

- Pixel editor drawing modes:

Mix w/original . . . - Pixels are mixed with the original (applied) image

Mix w/current . . . - Pixels are mixed with the current pixel editor image

Color + trans . . . - Both colour and transparency values are replaced

Color . . . . . . . - Colour is replaced, but transparency is preserved

Transparency . . . . - Transparency is replaced, but colour is preserved

Flood color . . . . - Flood fill similarly coloured areas with a new colour

Flood trans on col . - Alter transparency of similarly coloured areas

Flood trans on trans - Alter transparency of areas with same transparency

Copy from (X/Y) . . - Copy related pixel values from another location

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
