DESCRIPTION

     A slideshow presentation program (including transition effects)
     and universal picture viewer (incl. PhotoCD support) and converter
     for all Amigas and esp. for Cybergraphic users.

     This program can display pictures in many file formats (see
     below) directly in windows on the Workbench (default public
     screen), in windows on public screens or on it's own screen.
     It also offers (borderless) viewing as slideshow. Optional
     transition effects can be used to make viewing multiple files
     more interesting. You can even zoom into pictures to magnify
     parts or zoom out to get even large pictures fully on screen
     very quickly. An automatic presentation mode (configurable
     delay time) incl. optional loop mode is also implemented.

     If you have a suitable graphic board with Cybergraphic WB
     emulation installed you can even watch the pictures in full
     color quality (HiColor/TrueColor) on your Workbench. Without
     Cybergraphics the normal color restrictions (2 to 256
     colors) will lead to a reduced quality, but smart pen
     allocation during displaying will still give surprisingly
     high quality with 256 colors.

     You can switch forward and backward between images and
     scroll images in their resizable windows. An automatic
     preloading feature will reduce waiting time to a minimum.
     While you watch one picture (and maybe scroll it around),
     the next picture will already be loaded, so that it will
     be there if you decide to switch... You can select down-
     scaled loading for viewing in reduced size. Unlike many
     viewers, this viewer reduces most pictures during
     loading and will thus be faster for reduced size loading.

     Additional features include conversion to some 24Bit formats
     (incl. JPeg, IFF-ILBM24, Targa) and fast direct transfer
     to famous image processing and painting programs (ImageFX,
     XiPaint, ArtEffect/PicoPainter).

     Internally supported formats for loading:

     1) IFF-ILBM (1 to 24Bit incl. HAM6/HAM8)
     2) PhotoCD (Base format 768x512 or 512x768 (portrait))
     3) JPeg (color and greyscale)
     4) PPM/PGM/PBM (P1&P4 b&w, P5 grey, P6 color)
     5) QRT (also known as dump format by PD raytracers as POV-Ray)
     6) Targa
     7) PCX
     8) BMP
     9) TIF (packbit-compr./uncompr.)
     10) EGS7.x window icons
     11) DEEP
     12) YUV
     13) VLAB raw
     14) RGB
     15) HHsYUVSq sequence format
     16) IFF-PBM (DPII)
     17) ACBM
     18) FBM
     19) Sun raster (uncompressed)
     20) MacPaint (b&w compressed 1Bit format; datafork only)
     21) HHsXRL formats
     22) binary-EPS bitmaps (RGB and CMYK)
     23) TBCPlus frames

     The additional DataType support extends this list by many
     formats; DataTypes can e.g. be found on Aminet in util/DType.
     The DataType support is very fast, so that you can also view
     pictures in GIF or other formats quite fast for which Datatypes exist.
