A set of loader and saver modules for the famous ImageFX-EGS and ImageFX image processing packages.

Supported formats for loading:

1. IFF-ILBM (1 to 24Bit incl. HAM6/HAM8)
2. PPM/PGM/PBM (P1&P4 b&w, P5 grey, P6 color)
3. QRT (also known as dump format by PD raytracers as POV-Ray)
4. Targa
5. PCX
6. BMP (uncompressed)
7. TIF (packbit-compr./uncompr.)
8. EGS7.x window icons
9. DEEP
10. YUV
11. VLAB raw
12. RGB
13. HHsYUVSq sequence format
14. IFF-PBM (DPII)
15. ACBM
16. FBM
17. Sun raster (uncompressed)
18. MacPaint (b&w compressed 1Bit format; datafork only)
19. HHsXRL formats
20. PhotoCD (Base format 768x512 or 512x768 (portrait))

The additional DataType support extends this list by many formats; DataTypes can e.g. be found on Aminet in util/DType.

Limited demo version is freely distributable; registered users will receive a keyfile which enables all features.

OTHER

The freely distributable version loads all pictures only in greyscale. The speed and format support is the same, so you can try out if you like the speed advantages and are satisfied with the supported formats. After you have paid the shareware fee you will receive a special personal keyfile (together with the latest version). Once registered, you can use new freely distributable versions as update with your keyfile.
