AIW

- a.i.w. is an image manipulation and conversion tool, that can convert images (truecolors or colormap images) to atari 16 colors format - he writes the result in .pi1 (degas) and .neo (neochrome) formats - the image formats a.i.w. knows are : bmp, gif, iff, jpg, neo, pi1, pcx, png, psd, tga, tif -

- this program works on windows platforms, and is based on the GFL sdk library, written by pierre-étienne gougelet, author de XnView, a really excellent image viewer and conversion tool - however, the conversion in atari 16 colors was not atari was not precised enough to me for some reasons - that's i decided to code some color quantization algorithms - the GFL sdk library is used in a.i.w. for reading and writing images - the color conversion algorigthms and scripting tools are mine -

- working modes - - a.i.w. offers you two ways for converting images : direct mode : you load the image in the a.i.w., and then, use the different menus entries to resize, quantize and save the resulting image - that's ok for one image, but may be laborious for many images

script mode : to my sense, the more interesting mode - just open the a.i.w. script editor, write your script, and apply it on a group of images - you can save, load and modify the script parameters and launch it on the current image, or on a sequence of images -
