ImageStudio HISTORY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ v1.0.0 - 12/09/94 ----------------- o First release. v1.0.1 - 16/09/94 ----------------- o No longer dependant on v37+ of the diskfont.library, works fine with v36 (non-scalable version). v1.0.2 - 25/09/94 ----------------- o Stops non-AGA users from changing ImageStudio's screen to greater than 16 colours. v1.1.0 - 17/10/94 ----------------- o Improved colour reduction algorithm. Much more accurate, much faster. Removed necessity to have 3 different colour choice options. o Added `Palette Edit' requester to allow the user the ability to change the palette of the current image. o Added EPS file output. o Improved colour choice with HAM6 and HAM8 images. o Improved accuracy of the dither algorithms. o Improved accuracy of the colour remapping algorithm. o Registered version now on 2 disks and includes documentation in ASCII text, AmigaGuide hypertext, TeX dvi and PostScript formats. o Fixed bug which caused the fuelgauge in the infobar to be incorrectly drawn if the title bar font was different to Topaz 8. v1.2.0 - 4/12/94 ---------------- o Improved speed of preview redraw. o Added greyscale JPEG read / write. o Improved speed and quality of HAM6 and HAM8 file creation. o Improved speed and quality of 24bit internal viewer. o Now uses ASL screenmode requester with Workbench2.1+. o Added dynamic range expansion effect. o Now sets program stack size within the program - no need to set the stack from the CLI. o Fixed bug which caused the FlipX effect to work incorrectly with 24bit images. o Fixed bug which caused non-AGA Amigas to think that they could view 64, 128 and 256 colour pictures directly. o Few minor bug fixes and improvements. v1.2.1 - 7/12/94 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o Changed error in documentation that stated that we accept cheques drawn on non-UK banks. WE ONLY ACCEPT CHEQUES AND POSTAL ORDERS FROM THE UK. If ordering from outside the UK, we suggest an international money order - apologies for any confusion caused. There is no change to the program over v1.2.0. v2.0.0 - 13/03/95 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o Added ARexx. o Added AmigaGuide online help. o Added program Iconify. o Added AppIcon for drag and drop file loading. o Added hook functions to ASL screenmode requesters to allow refreshing in the background. o Added current filename to the preview window title bar. o Added the ability to read corrupt files upto the point at which they become corrupt. o Changed HAM remapping tables when using the internal 24bit viewer - no more "Remapping..." waits. o Changed preferences window. o Changed way default screenmode is chosen. Before, it was taken from the Workbench - now the default is HiRes, 640x200 (NTSC) or 640x256 (PAL) and 16 colours. o Removed GIF save. o Fixed bug which caused the menus to be incorrectly laid out for 2 colour screens. o Fixed bug which some bright colours to be represented as mid-grey in a >16 colour greyscale preview. o Fixed bug which caused the checkboxes in the balance floating palette to be read incorrectly on Workbench 2.04. o Fixed bug which caused some messages to be 'lost'. v2.1.0 - 22/05/95 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o Added fully font sensitive interface. o Added co-ords as a floating palette to reduce the size of the infobar. o Added loaders and savers as external modules. o Added "Flush buffers" to edit menu to allow free'ing of old undo/redo buffers. o Added the abilty to double-click on a script/convolve/effect in the lists to start it. o Added Crop250x250, RegionStore and RegionRecall scripts. o Re-introduced GIF save (now much improved) via a freely distributable module. o Changed disabling method used for unregistered version. Now ImageStudio will load in any size of image, but only a maximum of 250x250 pixels are kept (the rest of the buffer is blank). o Changed IFF-ILBM loader: now faster and handles images with stencils. o Changed PCX saver: now saves smaller 24bit files. o Changed GIF loader: now loads GIF89a files. o Changed save and prefs requester layout slightly. o Changed: now tries to flush AmigaGuide library from memory when ImageStudio quits. This solves the problem where i) the library used RAM when it was resident and ii) the library left a lock on the Workbench screen - thus stopping it from being closed. o Changed: now requires much less working memory when running. o Changed: now when changing the balance of an image whilst the preview is zoomed in, all the image is affected. This is now consistent with the effects. o Fixed bug: now pressing 'Abort' when opening an image returns an error to ARexx. o Fixed bug which caused the command shell to open on the Workbench if the ImageStudio screen had no name. v2.1.1 ~~~~~~ o Fixed bug in the GIF saver which caused the images to be saved one pixel to the right. o Fixed bug which caused the program to crash if two copies were run simultaneously and the second one was forced to quit. v2.2.0 - 21/08/95 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o Added Datatype, IFF-DEEP, PNM (PBM, PGM, PPM), QRT (DKB, POV) SGI, TIFF and VMEM IO modules. o Added colour preview. o Made internal viewer an external module. o Added 'UnCrash' program, to recover virtual memory swap files after a crash. o Unregistered version now crops images to 512x512 rather than 250x250.
