Dyna Res and SHAM
« on: May 30, 2008, 06:46:43 PM »
Hello, is there a way to view "The Look" dynares on the PC?  I have the file from the NewTek demoreel 3.  XNVIEW can't display it correctly.  I love that picture.  I'm also in search of SHAM pictures to view on the PC and my Amiga.  I found a great program that converts pictures to LBM HAM6 called GBREF on the PC. Thank you for your help.  =)

I've seen the JPG version, but JPG puts in all kind of phony colors (49,808 to be exact from what should be no more than 4,096) and it doesn't look as good as say PNG, TGA, BMP or any other true color conversion.  =(  

Thanks.

Thank you- The picture is a great example for dyna highres.  The Apple IIGS works the same way as Dyna highres, only it's limited to 320x200 instead of 640x400.  Now I would love to see some SHAM pictures converted to the PC and on my Amiga 500 (1 meg).  Shame is HAM6 per scan line- 16 fresh colors plus the Hold and Modify for every scan line.

Thanks everyone.

Is there a TGA or BMP to SHAM program for an Amiga 500 with a megabyte?   Next is their a SHAM to TGA or BMP for an Amiga 500. Or can I find a PC program that does the converting such as GBMREF which allowed me to convert BMP to HAM6 or HAM8 LBM.  

Thanks.  =)

Yeah, my goal is to view convert all kinds of pictures I can get and convert them to SHAM.  Then back to my PC for viewing.  Since my Amiga has an RF converter, the quality sucks.  Besides it's fun to see what my Amiga 500 and my Atari ST can do with their respected formats.  I love my GMBREF program on the PC, only it's limited to only saving to HAM6 or HAM8.  So SHAM save.

GBMREF actually will save SHAM to BMP!  The program reads SHAM formats.  =)  But it only saves to HAM6 or HAM8.  Now to find something that can convert to SHAM that isn't GIF.  GIF is only 256 colors.  On my Atari I have a program that actually converts TGA files to several ST formats.  Looks better than the GIF to ST programs.  GIF2SHAM or HAM6 wouldn't do the Amiga justice.

Thanks everyone.

Hey Skurk.

That dynami HiRes picture looks great- if it wasn't for the sky- it looked almost 24bit.  =)
