NOTES on GRAPHIC CARDS
=======================

 PMPro is able to display colour catalogues on certain graphic cards
 without an AGA chipset. The graphic card has to supply
 256 Colour Amiga screen modes via system conforming Monitor files.
 Usually, Kickstart 3.0 or greater is required for this.
 When it is required to simply open the main screen of Picture Managers on
 a graphic card it should be sufficient to select a screen mode of the
 card when starting the program. The number of thumbnails is automatically
 adjusted to the screen size (for example 30 thumbnails with 800x200
 instead of 20).

 For using further functions of Picture Manager on a graphic card
 (display graphics, etc.) more settings may have to be made.

1.) At first you should configure Picture Manager as follows:

  - For displaying graphics on your graphic card you may simply use
    the image display programs which come with your graphic card. With
    Picture Manager you are also able to use external viewers
    for displaying graphics. (see function Program/Viewers).
    But you can also use the appropriate displayer module for
    your graphic card (see chapter PROGRAM/DISPLAY).

2.) You should configure the screen promotion software of your
    graphic card (ChangeScreen for Picasso, Retina Emu for Retina, etc.)
    The following table indicates which screens are opened by PMPro and
    whether promotion of these are either possible or necessary.

Notes:
------

  * PICASSO:

    Should screens be promoted to Picasso mode, recopying of data
    should be activated (PM2 and PM6)!


  * RETINA:

    Retina Emu always promotes all screen. The screens marked with (1)
    within Retina Emu (drawer Retina System) also require recopying
    of data to be activated (Screen Settings/Refresh-Mode
     --> permanently).

  * SPECTRUM

    With the Spectrum card no screens should be promoted!


    IF you have installed Turboprint 4 or higher, the screens PM2 and
    PM6 are not used. So a screenpromotion is not necessary.
