Look on Thierry Godefroy's site for many QL programs, and then check the
compatibilty with your system requirements.
OpenWorld is one that was written some time ago and caters for 3
different image formats - but not JPEG.
JPEG expects a minimum of 256 colours, I believe, although it can be
'dithered' to render with less colours.
The 2 new programs - Photo and Photon ( very similar names ... ) - both
need extended software / hardware, I believe.
I've just started using Photo myself, and I can highly recommend it. It
deals with TIFF and JPEG, yet you need to be running SMSQ/E and GD2,
which are available with QPCv2 or a QXL Card. A nice feature is that it
automatically centres the image in the area defined.
Not sure what the specification required for Photon is, as I have not
used it.
