04.002 What GS programs are there for viewing/converting graphics?
The Graphics Exchange converts between many formats of graphics.
816 Paint's File Utilities work well for converting hires or double-hires pics
to GS super-res.
Prizm v1.0 Converts .GIFs, Amiga IFFs, Raw Files, and some other types to
Greyscale (very fast), 16 colors, 256 colors, and 3200 colors!
SuperConvert (now at version 4) loads all GS formats, plus GIFS and other non-
GS specific formats and saves in all GS formats including Finder Icon files. It
has more dithering options than most of the other programs, but you may have to
play with it to find the best one.
Platinum Paint is a commercial program that can import all GS formats plus
MacPaint. It can only save in SHR and Apple Preferred. Version 2.0 can make
Animations too!
ShowPic 6 is a shareware NDA that can display most GS formats. You can also
save the resulting graphic as a IIgs SHR painting.
SuperPac is a commercial program which can create/display SuperPac format
compressed pics and pic pieces
Dream Grafix supports all 3200 color picture types and also 16 color and 256
color pictures. This is a very impressive commercial paint program.
Convert 3200 will handle several popular PC and Mac formats in up to 256
colors.
Jpeg.Viewer can be used to view JPEG images in black & white.
