The 19200 colour mode ( 96 colours per line * 200 lines ) from 32k colours is
absolutely fantastic! If you haven't see it then find someone with an STE and
be impressed. At last my STE can do something my mates A500 can't !

I have only two gripes with PhotoChrome 3 and that is it doesnt handle IFF files
as well as it does GIF files ( ie no squash to fit or display area selection )
and it can't as yet do JPEG files :(
