As this was about jpg, Dilwyn did not mention his BMP program that also
shows BMP files in a window, without distortion, but only 24 bits.
Also does batch conversions. But only tested AFAIK with QPC2/QXL Mode 32
style screens. There is conversion code for Qx0 Mode 33 screen but I am not
sure if it has ever been tested (no Q40 or Q60!)
I am working on a tool to convert/show bmp (4 bit to 24 bit) as pic files
in the current mode (16 to 33) in an EasyPTR window.
Scr or pic files of any QL mode can also be converted, work on sprite
viewing is almost done, I hope.
Will look forward to that - I have an unfinished QL drawing program to
finish too if ever I have time to finish it!
Dave Westbury was at one point proposing to enhance Photon so that you could
save the converted jpeg with it too, using it as either a command or as a
EX/EW filter EX PHOTON,#input,#ouput,#error (can't remember the parameter
order from memory) but I don't think that was ever finished. I did try to
contact him about it without success.
Photon can be used to convert from Jpeg if you use a screen grabber to
capture the displayed QL output picture from the screen.
George's suggestion re making a keyword out of Photon executable using
Turbo's Task Commander is a handy hint to bear in mind too.
