Hey
Introducing Pixsaur, an online tool for converting images to Amstrad CPC format. Color reduction, dithering, selection, etc.
➡️ https://pixsaur.netlify.app/
The tool is still in its infancy, and will gain many more features.
Enjoy

very soon :D
How would one load these images on a real CPC?
A .dsk export is coming soon.
In the meantime, you can use the exported data, as shown here

Hey
Export in overscan format (96 bytes x 272) is here!
the export archive now contains
* the scr,
* a linear export (sprite format),
* the firmware palette,
* the hardware palette,
* 1 png file
Could you add any resolution up to 64kB?

For scrolling?
It's planned, but not just yet.

No. For VGA and vesa support.
Ok
I had another similar request.
As there's no real technical challenge, I'm going to move this feature up the prority list.
Let me remind

In MODE 0, it creates nice images, but in MODE 1, it doesn't let you set your own colors, which is disappointing. I mean, you can, but it doesn't work.
Hey,
Yes, the ergonomics are not good.
The current solution is to select the colors before loading the image.
Oh yeah, it not comfy but it's working. :)
Nice too! Great results! :)
Is there a way for MODE 2 conversions to set PAPER to color 0 and PEN 1 to color 26 (the program sets them always in the other way)?
More general: How can colors be preselected?
Thanks so much for this gem! :) :) :)

Currently, colors must be selected before selecting an image.
Unfortunately, even then, the page must be refreshed once colors have been selected the first time. This is quite buggy.
Hey
A small step forward for Pixsaur: you can now select, lock/unlock a colour at any time.
