Short: Artec A6000C+/AT3 scanner driver V1.2 Author: stefan.robl@tir.baynet.de (Stefan Robl) Uploader: stefan robl tir baynet de (Stefan Robl) Type: driver/other Version: 1.2 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Introduction ============ ArtecScan is a driver for Artec-Scanners. Supported types are: Artec Viewstation A6000C Plus and Artec Viewstation AT3. The program itself works incredibly fast (it is even faster than the PC-software included with the A6000C+...) and the usage is very easy. Some highlights: - Support of Artec Viewstation A6000C Plus and AT3; Support for further scannermodels is planned (for more information look at Future (AmigaGuide-docs). - Displays on Workbench or a Public-Screen, if it runs on a CyperGraphX-mode with screendepth >15Bit. - Support of Amigas with OCS, ECS or AGA (AGA and OCS provide a very good grayscale preview) - Display opens on 15,16 or 24 Bit (depends on graphicscard) custom CyberGraphX-screens - Interactive Preview: * You can assess gamma, brigthness and contrast already in the preview * Changes of the sliders are applied to the preview in realtime * You are able to test all the Scanmodes, filters and imagecorrections with only one previewscan - Preview is calculated and shown in realtime while scanning - Scanmodes: 24Bit Color, 8Bit Grayscale, 1Bit Black/White - Supports all scanner-internal resolutions from 50 up to 600 dpi - Memorysensitive - it allocates as much memory as it needs to work. - Incredible high scanning speed ( with 68030 or higher it scans without breaks - depends on SCSI-Controller used ) - Supported fileformats: IFF (compressed/uncompressed) 1,8 and 24Bit PGM (grayscale) / PPM (color) 8 and 24 Bit - Free adjustable writebuffer for a faster write-access even on slower harddrives - Automatically saves last changes at end of program >> For more information read the docs. << History ======= 01.03.1998 V1.00 - First public release 06.03.1998 V1.01 - Silly bug fixed. ArtecScan always searched for the A6000C Plus. AT3 should now work properly. (Reported by Anders Drejer. Thanks Anders!) 07.03.1998 V1.10 - Bug in localisation fixed - AGA and OCS/ECS-Support added (Tooltype: ScreenType) - ScannerType-Tooltype added - ArtecScan can now be started from shell 08.03.1998 V1.11 Two little and silly bugs removed: - Start from the Shell ist now always possible - ArtecScan now "needs" no cybergraphics.library on OCS/AGA-Amigas anymore... :) 18.03.1998 V1.2 - Output of compressed/uncompressed IFF added - Now a filter "None" is available in grayscale-scanmode - 1Bit (Black/White-scan) implemented - Interactive preview-mode added -> changes of gamma/brightness/contrast or scanmode are now done in realtime (suggestion of Dominique Stigl. Thanks, Dominique!!) - improved calculation of grayscale images - (almost) total internal rewrite of the program for easier implementation for further scanner-models - A6000CPlus/AT3-Scannertreiber completely new rewritten - Added "Invert-Function" - WriteBuffer for faster write-access added (ToolType: WriteBuffer) - Reduced memory usage
