Imagecopy 3.5 - Demo version 
    Copyright (c) 1994 Jeremy Hughes and FaST Club 

    This disk contains a demo version of Imagecopy 3.5. This is nearly 
    identical with the full version, except that images are overwritten 
    with a program message and/or dots when they are displayed or printed 
    or saved. The demo version of Imagecopy 3.5 may be distributed freely, 
    so long as it is accompanied by this text file and the program is not 
    tampered with in any way. 

  Imagecopy 3 - the essential image utility
  -----------------------------------------

  Imagecopy 3 is a multi-purpose image utility which can be used to perform 
  the following tasks:

  *  Copy images from screen in any ST/TT/Falcon video mode.

  *  Display images and slide shows in any ST/TT/Falcon video mode.

  *  Print images and screen dumps in black and white or colour on a wide 
     range of printers: 9-pin, 24-pin, Bubblejet, Deskjet, and Laserjet.

  *  Catalogue images with up to 60 or more images on a single page.

  *  Create halftone images to use with other programs (wordprocessors etc.)

  *  Convert images between different formats or to different colour types 
     (e.g. true-colour to 256-colour).

  Imagecopy 3 supports an extensive range of image formats. It can read and 
  write: DEGAS, GIF, IFF, IMG, JFIF (JPEG), PC Paintbrush (PCX), Prism 
  Paint, RSC free image, Targa, TIFF, True Paint, and Windows Bitmap. Other 
  read-only formats include: Art Director, Calamus Raster Graphic, DR 
  Doodle, Macpaint, Neochrome, OS/2 Bitmap, Pictor, Pixart, Portable Bitmap, 
  Spectrum, and Tiny. IFF support includes standard IFF, Amiga HAM, PC 
  Deluxe Paint, and ST Deluxe Paint. IMG support includes Hyperpaint IMG, 
  Flair Paint IMG, Ventura Publisher IMG, and XIMG.

  Other features include a batch processing facility (convert or print 
  batches of images), and a user-friendly GEM interface. Colour images may 
  be printed in monochrome (with halftones) and in colour. If you don't 
  have a colour printer, Imagecopy can produce colour separations which may 
  be superimposed to produce full-colour printouts on monochrome printers. 
  Easy-to-use colour controls allow you to enhance the quality of colour 
  printouts.

  The full version of Imagecopy 3 is supplied both as a desk accessory and 
  as a stand-alone program (the demo version is only available in stand- 
  alone form). It is accompanied by a detailed 93-page manual, which 
  includes a tutorial section.

  Imagecopy 3.5
  -------------

  New features in Imagecopy 3.5 include:

  - Photo CD support in Imagecopy 3.5 CD. This can read Photo CD images in 
  any of the five standard resolutions, and can also read blocks (partial 
  images) from any resolution. The demo version does not support Photo CD 
  images.

  - A thumbnail option, which displays miniature thumbnails of a set of 
  images within a single window. This is useful for looking through a disk 
  of images or for creating disk catalogues.

  - Improved print quality, including random print dithering, microweave 
  (shingling) print option, print density option, and black balance option.

  - Improved screen display: images can be scaled so that they fit on screen 
  or within the current slide-show window. In addition, Imagecopy 
  automatically defaults to the correct aspect ratio for the current screen 
  resolution, so images look right in resolutions with non-square aspect 
  ratios (ST medium, TT low etc.) A 'dither brightness' option gives 
  improved monochrome dithering on screen.

  - A '720-dpi' option produces high-quality 720-dpi printouts with the 
  Epson Stylus Color printer.

  - A 'Matrix' display option configures Imagecopy to work with the Matrix 
  graphics card.

  - A pop-up image menu provides image manipulation options including the 
  ability to flip and rotate images, adjust aspect ratio, and select nine 
  zoom levels from 1/16 to 16x.

  - Faster colour processing (the colour saturation option is 20 times 
  faster than previously).

  - Improved memory allocation. Imagecopy 3.5 uses around 50k less memory 
  than Imagecopy 3.0, despite having about 50k of additional code.

  - New image formats: in addition to previous formats, Imagecopy 3.5 can 
  read Sun Rasterfiles, XGA images, and fixed-palette IMG images, while 
  true-colour IMG files can be saved in 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit format.

  - Other improvements include: improved 'slide show' and 'image 
  information' dialogs, an option to suppress warnings while displaying a 
  slide show, time-out option for single-button alerts, an improved image 
  path option, new keyboard shortcuts, the ability to copy RSC images in any 
  video mode, a 'remap palette' option, and an improved 'restore palette' 
  option.

  - New features are described in a 28-page manual supplement with 
  cross-references to the main manual.
