Image Size Reduction Software
« on: July 23, 2011, 01:00:56 AM »
So what is that one magical App for the Amiga that can resize images without loosing much quality? I need to do some major image reduction and could really go for an app that won't screw everything up.

Kind of expensive choice to resize some images.

could get a port of imagemagick off aminet (commandline)

what formats are you working with and are you wanting to thumbnail them or manually (graphically) crop/resize ?

Well I own ImageFX, but have had issues getting it to run correctly under MorphOS, and on that note, it seems I'm the only one having these issues with it. ;/

Anyhow, what I am doing is Taking Screen shots of models from Jedi Outcast inside Windows.

I need to drastically reduce the size of these images and apply the DOOM or Dark Forces color palette to them for use with PrBOOM +.

I'll have a look at this command line program.

i would agree with AdPro for comecial software.  That was it's main bread and butter back when tools like "Paint" weren't commonly included with OSes.

Not that I'm comparing AdPro with Paint mind you, just saying that was one if its big selling points was file conversion and re-palletizing...

Found it! Now if it would just load and display an image rather than a black screen.

As for "ori". On EAB they have an iFusion package chirped Adpro.ori

Black screen? What program did you end up trying. I can't really tell from your post vs the suggestions offered.

ok.
If you're running this under MorphOS it might be different, but for classic/OS4.x you need to set the tooltype MAXMEM to a number large enough to accomodate the image.
If the # is not large enough, though, AdPro just exits. So that does not explain your black screen.

If you can load your image, then you choose "P96" from the "savers" menu. You should get a choice of all available resolutions your graphics supports. Choose one and click "ok" and you should have the image.

If you get that far on the A1200, then you merely have to select "scale" from the "operators" menu.
And there are easy ways to improve the results of "scale" too.
I should say, though, that depending on your file format there could still be an issue here, so let us know if the file loads. If not, try to determine the format, and there might be a workaround.
Sadly, the loaders are only going to be "smart" enough to cover the format standards from the time Adpro was last updated.
