Changes since previous Aminet release:
- Increased speed of deflate decoding (5% faster).
- Removed some redundant code.
- Tweaked prefs loading routine change from previous version to
restore performance when not using MorphOS, to match the latest
WarpDT engine changes.
FEATURES
- Supports 5.0 and 6.0 TIFF and BigTIFF specification files, including
those using Packbits, Thunderscan, CCITT (fax), Pixar, LogLuv (CIE and
SGILog), LZW, Deflate (zip), JBIG and JPEG (old and new) compression
schemes, plus uncompressed files
- Image types supported include RGB (24-bit, 48-bit, 96-bit and 192-bit)
with or without alpha channel, palette based / greyscale (1-bit,
2-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit), CMYK (32-bit, 64-bit
and 256-bit), YCbCr and CIELab
- Can handle Xerox / ScanSoft Pagis XIF files (eXtended Image Format)
- Supports image data organized as strips, tiles or separate components
- For multi-image files, applications may choose which picture to decode
- Scaling options for high resolution fax images
- Highly optimized datatype dispatch engine, and fast TIFF decoder,
resulting in a very efficient, compact and quick TIFF datatype
- Asynchronous file i/o and double buffering techniques (WarpOS only),
which speeds up image decoding
- Optimized versions for 68020, 030, 040 and 060
- PowerPC support with native OS4, WarpOS and MorphOS versions
- AltiVec speed optimizations (JPEG decompression) for OS4 and MorphOS
- Alter the pen allocation precision when images are remapped to an
8-bit display
- Specific support for the AmigaOS picture.datatype v44+, when available
- The dithering feature of the AmigaOS picture.datatype v44+ can be
configured to your liking (e.g. disabled for 15/16-bit displays)
- Based on libtiff 4.1.0, zlib 1.2.11, jpeglib 9d/6b and libjpeg-turbo
