From 'CPC Info's' magazine:
"Here is a utility that allows you to switch images from one graphics mode to another. You therefore have 6 possibilities (MODE 0 to MODE 1 to MODE 2 etc.) displayed on the screen, choose your transformation you will then be asked to enter the name of the screen file to be loaded and then its new name, if any. The floppy containing the file should be in the drive. The image will then be displayed. It will then be necessary to change the floppy disk and then press the space bar to save the transformed image."

Another little gem of polished French CPC software......
Hard to believe that this great little utility (that's an APP to all you youngsters under 50) was actually a type-in.
It was published in the November 1990 issue of 'CPC Infos' magazine.
As you will see in the video I use MODEX to convert a mode 2 image to mode 1 and then display both using the Advanced OCP Art Studio - I'm glad to say the mode 1 conversion doesn't look like an Orc!
The digitized sample you can hear at the loading screen is a great little touch.
