Image Size Reduction Software

[Cammy]

I use ImageStudio for resizing, remapping, dithering and processing images all the time. Here's how I have it laid out on my A600:



Of course in 24bit on MorphOS it will look nicer than this.

You can download ImageStudio from Aminet, then copy the keyfile to the program directory once you've installed it:

http://aminet.net/package/gfx/conv/ImageStudio_1
http://aminet.net/package/gfx/conv/ImageStudio_2
http://aminet.net/package/gfx/conv/ImageStudioPNG
http://home.exetel.com.au/amiga/ImageStudio.keyfile

Definitely don't rule out the A600 for image processing, well if you have a 020-030 anyway. You can run Photoshop on them, afterall: http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=3457

Also, @Cammy, I think you mentioned before that Photoshop 4 was the last 68K Photoshop but I remember when I Google'd around for this information myself, I found a page that said the very first editions of Photoshop 5 ran on 68k processors, too. Can you confirm this? If not, can you tell me where I can find Photoshop 4?

I think you may find that Photoshop 5 was PPC-only, but it was the last version to work with MacOS 7, perhaps that's where the confusion comes from. I don't think linking to Photoshop on here is a good idea, but if you Google search for Macintosh Garden, they have it, and they have thousands of other Mac software titles and games to download. Get Photoshop 4 and the 4.0.1 update and try it out, it runs pretty well on my A1200 and A600.

@ Cammy

Call me stupit but the key is not working for me.
I installed the key @ the root from the imagestudio just like you say :-)
Is the key still valid ?

Edit: Key is not valid anymore !!
This one is working: http://www.mediafire.com/?a8pesq4359sz2dj

The keyfile works fine for me and other people who have tried it. It was given away free to the Amiga community with a copy of CU Amiga Magazine and is registered to DrawStudio, a demo of which came on the cover CD that issue.

@Cammy I thanked you in PM but in case you missed it, thanks a lot for that link!

No problem, sorry I haven't gotten around to replying yet, I'm swamped with private messages I need to reply to.

That is kind of strange, and I can't explain it really. But I'm glad you managed to find a keyfile that works for you anyway, I have downloaded it so I have a backup to send to anyone else who might require it in the future.
