ConvImgCPC is a small software which allows the conversion of PC images to the CPC[[Image:Convimgcpc.gif|thumb|ConvImgCpc]]
It makes it possible to read images in BMP, GIF, JPEG format , and of course SCR (format of OCP ART STUDIO, software suitable for the cpc).For this last case of figure, the images must have '''''ConvImgCpc''''' is a AMSDOS header.once the image is read, it is possible to carry out some adjustments on:- the position of the image, - the size of the image, - the intensity of each component R, V, B (useful for the dark images or too light).Then, the conversion can be made in the 3 screen modes of the CPC :- MODE 0: 160 X 200 points with 16 possible colors from 27, - MODE 1: 320 X 200 points with 4 possible colors from 27, - MODE 2: 640 X 200 points with 2 possible colors from 27.Several modes of dithering are possible for"recreating" the missing colors .the colors calculated by the small program can be modified manually and "locked", i.e. that they will not be modified developed by [[Demoniak]]; it allows the program during a conversion.Last, it is enough to save the image, by specifying if this one must be compacted or not.the save is done with SCR format of OCP ART STUDIO.the colors can also be saved.the software also makes it possible PC images to read again some colors a pallet lately saved.ConvImgCPC has an option to use the 4096 colors of the CPC+.It is also possible to use non standard resolution (up to 736 x 272 points in mode 2)
You can find it here : It will read images in BMP, GIF, JPEG format and of course SCR (the format of [http://amstrad.cpc.free.fr Amstradeus[The Advanced OCP Art Studio|OCP ART STUDIO]] pictures).
In For SCR the download section files must have an [[AMSDOS]] header. Once the image is read, it is possible to carry out some adjustments on: * the position of the image, * the size of the image, * the intensity of each component R, G, B (useful for adjusting brightness of image). Then the conversion can be made in the three screen modes of the CPC :* MODE 0: 160 × 200 points with 16 possible colors from 27, * MODE 1: 320 × 200 points with 4 possible colors from 27, * MODE 2: 640 × 200 points with 2 possible colors from 27.* MODE 3: a special mode which let you use more than 4 colors in 320 × 200 points. Several modes of dithering are possible for "recreating" the missing colors. The colors calculated by the program can be modified manually and "locked", i.e. that they will not be modified by the program during a conversion. ''ConvImgCpc'' has an option to use the 4096 colors of the [[Plus]] range of machines. It is also possible to use non standard resolution (up to 736 × 272 points in MODE 2). You can edit the picture generated inside ''ConvImgCpc''. The image is saved to SCR format for standard formats, and when you save you can choose if the file is compressed or not.The colors can also be saved to a separate PAL file. The software also makes it possible to read the [[CPC Palette|palette]] from another file. You can save your calculated image as an assembler source file (filled with DEFBs) so that you can include it into your programs.
