ChangeFSI: Colour Image Processing Using the 256 colour modes
Archimedes computers have full colour display capabilities built into them as
standard. However, compared with the hardware found in larger workstations, the
facilities provided have been carefully reduced (in order to make them cheap
enough to fit all the time). So the precision of the digital to analogue
converters is only 4 bits (instead of 8) and the colour palette only has 16
entries (instead of 256).
The VIDC 256 colour mode
=========================
Has 4 direct bits (top 2 green, top red and blue) plus 4 palette look up bits
which affect the remaining DAC bits. This therefore gives a choice of 256
colours from 4096, but the choice is not a free one in that the 4 direct bits
are always connected: this leaves only 256 selections available from the 4096
colour range. To repeat: there are 256 simultaneous colours in a selection out
of 4096 colours, where there are only 256 "legal" selections. The new VIDC20
allows an arbitrary selection of colours, but the default situation is
identical.
There are "optimal" selections. An optimal selection is one which covers the
entire R, G, B colour cube (i.e. 0-fullscale for each of the colours) and can
thus be dithered to from any picture (if one considers picture's colour range
as an arbitrary volume in the colour cube, then you can dither/display a
picture accurately if and only if the volume covered by the available colours
encloses the picture's). The optimal selection used for the RISC OS 256 colour
mode palette contains 2 most significant bits of Red, 2 most significant bits
of Green and 2 most significant bits of Blue, with the last 2 bits controlling
the 2 least significant bits in parallel ("adds white" to a colour). Thus peak
R, G, B is obtained (without side effects if varied simultaneously, with a side
effect if peak R (say) alone is required). A correctly designed error diffusion
dither algorithm can display pictures with very high fidelity. [note that
dithering all pictures with a single palette permits their display
simultaneously on the screen, also note that dithering to a fixed palette is
much quicker than selecting a palette first!]
One can also program the system for a large number of n bits per colour modes,
with the n bits starting at the most significant end of the colour range. For
example 4 bits of green, 3 bits of red and 1 bit of blue. The constraints are:
2 <= nGreen <= 4
1 <= nRed <= 4
1 <= nBlue <= 4
(and nRed+nBlue+nGreen=8)
Modes like these are often useful for real time solid modelling (where the
expense of dithering with error diffusion (circa 100 cycles per pixel) cannot
be afforded). These selections are non-optimal: the colour cube is not
completely spanned.
Displaying A Picture
====================
Since a colour in the 256 colour mode can be such a complicated thing, with
varying capability of spanning the colour cube and an unknown accuracy, there
is a RISC OS standard way of specifying a colour you wish to draw with using 8
bits for R, G and B components. A call to the operating system converts this to
the nearest colour and new objects can be drawn.
Where the object to be drawn is a previously generated picture, the modules
"SpriteExtend" (in the ROM) and "ColourTrans" (in the !System directory) in
RISC OS provide some capabilites for displaying pictures in different screen
modes. ColourTrans can look at the palette which a sprite uses and return a
list of the equivalent 'closest' colours in the current screen mode.
SpriteExtend can paint sprites using the list of equivalent colours and can
change the size of the image into the bargain. This is all very well for simple
pictures or pictures created directly for a particular mode, but what happens
for more detailed information or pictures from other sources with resolution
not matched by the Archimedes hardware?
Also the above facilities are rather basic: ColourTrans makes no effort to use
dithering (the practise of putting patterns of different coloured pixels
together to represent other colours) and SpriteExtend simply discards
additional information if reducing the picture in size (and together they make
no attempt to enhance the picture when making it larger). The reason for these
shortcomings is quite simple: speed. The algorithm used in ChangeFSI uses 105
ARM instructions per pixel - and that's apart from any instructions used to
read the image in, change its size and write the result out. For comparison,
the normal sprite plot takes only one instruction per pixel (4 instructions for
four 8 bit pixels). Processing a MODE 15 picture thus uses up too many seconds
of ARM cpu time to imagine it as part of the interactive desktop.
So what does ChangeFSI do to make the situation better? And why does it take so
long? One can immediately draw up some desirable properties for any solution to
the image changing problem:
(1) Maximising the volume of the colour cube. Colour represented in the Red,
Green and Blue computer graphics system can be thought of as a point in a 3D
cube whose axes are the red, green and blue values. Whatever clever
approximations, dithering or error diffusion techniques are used, the colour
volume spanned by the r, g and b axes in the target should be large enough to
contain the source volume. If not, then the picture will appear faded in some
way compared to the original ("the red doesn't seem quite the same"). For a
single picture a colour volume only as large as the input could be chosen;
alternatively for an arbitrary set of input pictures, the colour volume on the
output system has to be made as large as possible. Where animation is required
the colour volume has to be consistent for all the pictures. When generating
the largest volume, it is important to use the system hardware to the limit:
for example, if one has two bits of control over the Archimedes 4 bit D to A
converters, the largest range is covered by values 0, 5, 10 and 15 (rather than
0, 4, 8 and 12).
(2) Giving hue consistency at different saturations. For example, with a
palette with different numbers of bits of r, g and b it may be impossible to
have a consistent set of colours representing derived colours at different
levels of intensity. Shades of white and secondary colours (cyan, magenta and
yellow) are particularly difficult.
(3) Working with the multi-tasking desktop. Acorn are asking for all new
software to be built on the multitasking system. This implies that the palette
should not be changed (or that the agreement of all programs currently running
is obtained first).
The desktop (default) palette in the 256 colour modes (e.g. modes 13, 15, 21,
24 and 28) is quite well designed. It does have the properties of (1) and (2)
(it even has 16 shades of grey) and automatically satisfies (3). It is used by
many Acorn programs (Draw, Paint) and by external programs (Euclid, ProArtisan,
Atelier, ..) to great effect and is a safe choice for ChangeFSI. There are two
ways ChangeFSI can choose a colour:
(a) a method which derives values for r, g, b and tint algorithmically (no
suffix) (suitable only for the default RISC OS 256 colour palette)
(b) search the palette for the closest colour (r suffix). The precise method by
which this is done is the subject of another document.
ASIDE: the closest colour is chosen such that the distance between the true
colour and the choice is minimised in the colour cube space. Since the human
eye is more sensitive to green, then red and lastly blue, the distance function
is weighted 10, 3 and 1 in green's favour.
With the 16 colour modes (e.g. modes 9, 12, 16, 20 and 27) the default palette
does not satisfy (1) and (2) unless the output is purely shades of grey -
ChangeFSI can use either 8 greys (for the desktop) or 16 greys (out of the
desktop or with the desktop palette altered to provide 16 greys). For colour
representation, ChangeFSI can either:
(a) use 1 bit of red, 1 bit of green and 1 bit of blue (i.e. the standard 8
digital colours Black, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and White). This
spans the colour cube and is hue consistent, but doesn't use the full range of
bits provided in the format. ColourTrans can map this to the desktop with the
standard palette with fair success, except for the lack of magenta (full
red+full blue) in the palette. A better result can be achieved by setting 6 of
the colours in the palette to red, green, yellow, blue, magenta and cyan. Since
ColourTrans will map the colours anyway, it doesn't matter which 6, but the
most consistent values are 8=blue, 9=yellow, 10=green, 11=red, 13=cyan,
14=magenta (leaving 0-7, 12 and 15 unchanged). This option is selected by a "d"
(digital RGB) suffix to the program's mode argument.
or (b) search the palette for the closest colour (r suffix) [ChangeFSI needs to
be in the 16 colour mode in order to read the palette]
With the 4 colour modes (e.g. modes 8, 11, 19 and 26) ChangeFSI is really
pushed. Shades of grey output is done with the 0, 5, 10, 15 level palette. But
how can colour be done? For example, each pixel can display only one of (say)
black, red, green or blue. This fails to span the colour cube (it does only
half of it), however, so black, cyan, magenta and yellow are used instead. The
rest has to be left to luck: there is no way it can approximate to pure shades
of red, green or blue. 4 bit colour pictures can be seen on the desktop in 16
colour modes with the above palette or in 256 colour modes. This option is by a
"c" suffix. If you can provide a better palette, then ChangeFSI can use it with
the "r" suffix search method.
With 2 colour modes (e.g. modes 0, 18, 23 and 25) pixels are either ON or OFF,
ChangeFSI will only do shades of grey output.... However, the method used can
be varied (see later).
So that's the canvas ChangeFSI has to work on. How does it display the input
range of colours on these outputs? The answer is, as stated above, dithering:
the process of approximating intensity variations with patterned areas. There
are two basic types of dithering technique: that used to print colour magazines
and newspaper photographs "clustered dot dither" - the size of the dot of ink
gives the intensity; and that used on dot matrix displays, for example the grey
level patterns used by 1 bit per pixel mode on the desktop "dispersed dot
dither" where the average number of dots in the area gives the intensity.
Why does the world need two different techniques? Well, different devices
reproduce pixels differently. The "ideal square" pixels produced by an LCD are
perfect for dispersed dot dither; a CRT produces a gaussian spot (a circle or
ellipse which decays in intensity towards the edges) instead of a square -
dispersed dot dither works well; a dot matrix impact printer or a "write black"
laser printer produce large dots (diameter at least SQR(2) over unit pixel
square) and thus make pictures too dark if dispersed dot dither is used; a
"write white" laser printer prints negative "white dots" on a black field and
thus "caves in" the sides of pixels making pictures too white with dispersed
dot dither. Clustered dot dither reduces the effects of mis-sized pixels by
ensuring they are adjacent (and thus the error is confined to the periphery of
the shape) but this does have a cost in poorer resolution.
Since ChangeFSI's colour or greyscale output is to CRTs (or LCDs in some
distant future) it automatically uses a dispersed dot dither. Monochrome output
could be for the screen or for a printer: the user can select between dispersed
and clustered methods by adding a various suffices ("c", "d" or "t") to the
mode number for clustered output. For "c" the algorithm (due to Robert L Gard,
1976) approximates tones in the range 0..16 (17 levels) by using 0..16 "on"
pixels in a 4 by 4 cell. For "d" the algorithm (developed by me, but similar to
Gard's) approximates tones in the range 0..4 (5 levels) by using 0..4 "on"
pixels in a 2 by 2 cell. For "t" the algorithm (ditto as "d") approximates
tones in the range 0..9 (10 levels) by using 0..9 "on" pixels in a 3 by 3 cell.
The "on" pixels are carefully chosen to provide: (a) symmetry of white/black
and black/white patterns (b) diagonally oriented dot grid. The diagonal angle
reduces the eye's ability to see the rectangular patterns produced. The various
sizes of the halftone cell allow some trade off between representing the tonal
values correctly and loss of resolution. Start with "c" and progress to "t" and
then "d" if the resolution is not acceptable.
ChangeFSI can generate reasonable pictures on "write black" printers with a
dispersed dot dither by using the "-black" parameter; however images produced
like this do not photocopy at all well (the photocopier makes the dots blacker
again!). The parameter to -black (default value 32, range 0..128) tells
ChangeFSI how much larger than the ideal square pixel the dots produced by the
printer are - 128 corresponds to an inked dot covering four times the area of
the ideal black square pixel (and this will generally mean ChangeFSI produces
an entirely white output!). Values above 64 give rather poor results on some
pictures but may be worth experimenting with. The default is 32, a dot covering
50% more area than the square pixel (the minimum circle enclosing the pixel
square). Some printers produce dots of (pseudo-randomly) varying sizes and
black correction may not help with these (the picture looks "noisy") in which
case use one of the clustered output methods. -black correction makes pictures
on the screen look very pale, since, if anything, black pixels on screen are
smaller than the ideal square.
[aside: to print these pictures, you need a method which copies the pixels
ChangeFSI has made exactly to those of the output device. Using !Paint, scale X
and Y by 90:300 for a 300dpi printer.]
In all cases, an approximation to a colour will produce an error (which might
possibly be zero if ChangeFSI is very lucky). ChangeFSI tracks these errors and
ensures that over wide areas there is no overall error using a technique called
"error diffusion", first devised by R W Floyd and L Steinberg in 1975. In this
technique the approximation is made and the error distributed to nearby pixels
in the following ratios:
current pixel 7/16 of error
3/16 of error 5/16 of error 1/16 of error
ChangeFSI gets some of its name from Floyd and Steinberg. Additionally,
ChangeFSI scans through the picture in a serpentine fashion, doing a row of
pixels left to right followed by the next row right to left. This reduces the
probability of regular patterns which the eye is sensitive to. The final I of
the name is for Integer: ChangeFSI does all its work in 32 bit fixed point
integer arithmetic (with the point at bit 28) instead of floating point.
Dithering can be turned off using using "Disable Dithering" on the Processing
dialogue ("-nodither" on the command line) which at least allows you to see how
well it does!
The conversion from one colour range to another is made at the same time as a
change in size of the image. Size is changed by ratios of areas between the
input and output: the total weight of r, g, and b in the source area is
calculated using the fixed point arithmetic and this result is then
approximated to the output using the error diffusion to preserve information
(for example, consider halving in size an image with adjacent pixels of
intensities 1 and 2; the output pixel needs to be value 1.5, so the 0.5 error
is sent to adjacent pixels to keep the overall colour the same). The size
change is expressed as a ratio of output to input (e.g. 40:20) which ChangeFSI
reduces to the smallest possible terms (2:1 in this case) so that you are free
to give values like 256:512 if that's what you mean! Size change is either both
x and y (if one ratio is given) or separate x and y (if two ratios are given).
Note that the size of a RISC OS pixel is known, so changing from (say) mode 21
to (say) mode 13 does not need any additional specified scaling. The full size
output for mode 21 is the reference, so scale to 640 by 512. A common scaling
is to fill the output sprite with the input and an "=" parameter to x and/or y
ratios will do this without ever having to know the size of the input. Simply
omitting the fractional part causes ChangeFSI to put in the source size, thus
giving output which is the specified number of pixels in size.
Conversion from colour to monochrome shades of grey is done with the CIE
luminance weights for r, g and b (0.299, 0.587, 0.114) which is the standard
conversion for broadcast television. These values can be altered using the
-red, -green and -blue commands and allow different weightings for conversion
to monochrome to be tried, this also allows selection of an image composed of
only some of the colours (e.g. -red1 -green0 -blue0) in making a black and
white image.
ChangeFSI can take any RISC OS sprites (2, 4, 16 or 256 colours). If there is a
palette it will be used, otherwise the standard 2, 4, 16 and 256 colour desktop
palettes are used. ChangeFSI can also read the 16bpp and 24bpp sprites which
have no palettes.
ChangeFSI is both a command line driven program and a desktop application. The
file !Help describes how to use the application from the desktop, if you need
to use the program as a command line driven program you will need to have it in
the library (or on run$path) and press f12 to get out of the desktop. The file
"FSIuse" describes the parameters concisely. The program selects mode 0 when
run from the command line when doing any work in order to speed up processing
(this can be disabled with -nomode). It may also be a good idea to RMFaster
BASIC. An hourglass %age processed figure is displayed (this may run through
twice for some of the more expensive options). The program reads the source
image from disc and builds the output in memory, having claimed some from the
system.
In addition to strictly converting the source image, ChangeFSI can also process
it. A trivial option is "-info": ChangeFSI will tell you what it is doing (a
good way of finding out what the source image actually is, and how the scaling
turns out!). Similarly trivial are -vflip and -hflip - the picture can be
produce upside down and left/right reversed. Not so trivial is -rotate, which
will rotate the image by 90 degrees (that is, an anti- clockwise quarter turn).
-rotate- rotates by -90 degrees (clockwise quarter turn).
Sometimes useful is "-nosize": ChangeFSI can read pixel size information from
the source image (if present) or guess it (e.g. if there are less than 320 by
256 pixels in a source image, ChangeFSI assumes the pixels are the same size as
MODE 13's [45 per inch]) or derive it from other information and scale the
output image (composed of RISC OS square or 1:2 sized pixels) appropriately.
-nosize stops this from happening. [this seems particularly relevant on formats
like TIFF or IFF where the pixel size is specified *but may be wrong*] Using
-info will display the pixel ratios which ChangeFSI is using - a combination of
the size guess, the output pixel size and any deliberate scaling. "-noscale"
turns off the output scaling as well.
The simplest image processing option is "-range" which will expand the dynamic
range of the input picture so that it fills the available area (not a good
option for animated sequences unless all source images possess the same range).
Since r, g, b are processed by the same amount, -range preserves the colour of
pixels in coloured pictures.
A useful option for output intended for the screen only is Gamma correction.
CRT displays do not have a simple linear relationship between brightness of the
spot and input voltage: instead of brightness = const * voltage, the response
is brightness = const * voltage ^ (1/gamma). In the TV industry, gamma has been
standardised as 2.2, but there is wide variation in the computer industry: the
monitor's response will vary depending on what make it is and how it is
adjusted. Low values of gamma (0 to 1) make colours darker and high values
(above 1) make colours lighter with the effects being particularly noticeable
on dim colours. "-gamma" uses the default of 2.2, and it can be set by
"-gamma1.5" say. Gamma correction is most relevant when its known that the
input has a linear intensity (input from a scanner or from another computer
with more bits per colour component than the Archimedes).
A more complex primitive is "-equal" which performs "histogram equalisation" on
the image. This makes the histogram of level versus number of points at that
level as flat as possible giving full use of the number of colours available.
-equal is a very harsh primitive, even on monochrome inputs it can produce an
inferior picture; while on colour pictures it can distort the colour of each
point (since r, g, b are computed separately). But -equal can often recover a
picture that is otherwise completely useless or expose information locked in a
small part of the input scale.
Image colours may be inverted with the -invert option. Which may be fun in
colour but is rarely useful! However, monochrome images frequently need
inverting, especially one bit per pixel sources.
A more powerful option is "-sharpen" which enhances the edges of objects in the
picture: this is very useful since the dithering process inevitably smears
information over the display. Pre-sharpening the image can result in a more
acceptable output. Default values of sharpening can be overridden for special
effects: -sharpen8 does edge detection. Lower amounts of sharpening are
obtained with larger -sharpen numbers. In general the more input and output
pixels and the greater the output range in a pixel in the images, the less
sharpening is required. Sharpening a picture which is already dithered can give
a very bad result....
The sharpening is achieved with the following matrix:
-1 -1 -1
-1 sharpen -1
-1 -1 -1
ChangeFSI computes the sum of nine pixels with the above weights for each input
pixel and renormalises the result (divides by sharpen-8).
An option for testing is "-nodither" which disables the Floyd Steinberg error
diffusion step completely. Versions after 6th June 1990 are more accurate at
doing this.
The various processes described above are applied in the following order for
pictures with more output pixels than input:
(a) range or histogram equalisation,
(b) sharpen,
(c) scale,
(d) error diffusion.
This order is chosen so that:
(1) since the input pixels (rather than the output pixels) are sharpened,
there is no false edge introduced when pixels are replicated.
The various processes described above are applied in the following order for
pictures with fewer output pixels than input:
(a) scale,
(b) range or histogram equalisation,
(c) sharpen,
(d) error diffusion.
This order is chosen so that:
(1) ranging can enhance down-sized images. Say a black/white dithered image
is reduced in size, so that the output from the scaling process is (some
approximation to) the original grey levels; then ranging can expand this
if possible.
(2) sharpening can be used to offset the blurring effects of scaling.
(3) since the output pixels (rather than the input pixels) are sharpened,
the effect of -sharpenN is consistent over differently scaled images.
There may be times when this automatic selection of order gets it wrong,
particularly when changing the aspect ratio, it is possible to trigger some
undesirable sharpening artifacts. Use the program twice with sharpening (say)
disabled and enabled in the order required.
Examples of use:
Make "standard palette" versions of existing 256 colour images (for example
the Watford digitiser plus colour board doesn't use the standard palette).
(e.g. "changefsi in out 13p" for a coloured Watford picture)
Or convert a colour picture to something you can see on your high res mono
monitor.
(e.g. "changefsi in out 18 -sharpen -info")
Or convert a large monochrome picture (from a scanner, say) to something
which can be seen.
(e.g. "changefsi in out 20t 1:4 -gamma")
Or convert a colour picture to grey scale for the desktop.
(e.g. "changefsi in out 20")
Or change a 512 by 480 image to standard format and aspect ratio
(e.g. "changefsi in out 15 640:512 512:480")
(or "changefsi in out = -range")
Or change to digital r, g, b
(e.g. "changefsi in out 20d -sharpen16")
Or convert a picture for printing on a 300dpi laser.
(e.g. "changefsi in out 18c 300:90 -sharpen")
And many more uses such as making miniatures of pictures, animated sequences of
pictures changing size (or sharpness!), converting Artisan pictures to the
desktop (try looking at the Artisan Garden with the desktop in 256 colours and
ChangeFSI's version - the stripes on the lawn vanish with the standard
version). Obviously you will need to have captured input as a sprite first!
Using more pixels per inch can improve the quality of the result, particularly
converting to multisync modes.
Note that, for all work with ChangeFSI, it is a good idea to start from the
unprocessed input each time and do everything in one pass (rather than using
the program several times with simple arguments). It is not a good idea to
sharpen a dithered image (unless it has been shrunk).
*** It is a very good idea to keep the highest resolution master that you can
afford the disc space for....
The ChangeFSI program can also convert from non RISC OS sprite formats while
doing all of the above processing. ChangeFSI will work out what the format is
automatically. For native RISC OS formats, it uses the filetype and there can
be no confusion. For alien formats, it first tries looking for particular
identifying information inside the file and then (if this fails to have
identified a format) tries using the file name itself. See the details below:
The RISC OS sprite format

- The associated file <name>+ (file type 010) which contains additional
information is ignored by ChangeFSI.
The grey levels may represent intensity in various different wave bands. By
naming files "red", "green" and "blue" and handing ChangeFSI the directory,
you can produce a false colour image. Hours of experimentation can produce
an almost reasonable picture...
The Wild Vision V12 format
This provides an uncompressed 512 by 512 image with 256 grey levels.
+ Recognised by file type 006
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The Wild Vision V9 and SnapShot formats
This provides an uncompressed 512 by 256 image with 4 bits of red, green
and blue, pixels sized 1:2.
+ Recognised by "MercSoft" or "SnapShot" header
+ No file type needed
The !Translator Clear format
This provides 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 bits per pixel.
+ Recognised by file type 690
- uncompressed, especially for <8 bits per pixel which is recorded at one
byte per pixel.
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The Atari ST "Degas" format
1, 2 or 4 bits per pixel, clear or run length encoded. RISC OS file type by
John Kortink of !Translator.
+ Recognised by file type 691
- No documentation and only 5 images read
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
>> All the file formats so far have been designed on RISC OS (or Arthur) and
recognition of the format is defined by file type, the files arrive on RISC
OS floppy discs, and the originators live in the same time zone. For the
following formats many of these things are not true... Which makes it more
difficult to guarantee that ChangeFSI will be able to read the file.
The Millipede Prisma format (used by CadSoft also)
The Millipede Prisma 3 is a 768 pixels wide by 574 line interlaced display
board for the Archimedes and BBC Microcomputer. It allows use of 256
colours from 2^24. Files may be stored uncompressed (432KBytes!) or run
length encoded. More details from CadSoft or Millipede Electronic Graphics.
+ Recognised by "MILLIPEDE" at offset 16 in the file
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
- slowish to read the compressed formats
- scaling the picture using = can be poor since 574 lines don't relate very
well to 512 or 256. Use -info to display the scale ratios.
The Aldus/MicroSoft TIFF format (also filetype FF0 is assigned to TIFF)
Frequently used by scanners, TIFF is a common interchange format for
graphics images on the Mac and PC (particularly DTP and Windows). It
provides an arbitrary number of bits per pixel, size etc using a numeric tag
scheme allowing new information to be introduced without upsetting existing
programs. The format may be compressed (in 5 different ways at present).
Details from Aldus UK, MicroSoft, Hewlett Packard...
+ Recognised by file type FF0
+ Recognised by "II" plus the 16 bit number 42 at the start of the file for
little endian machines (ix86, ARM, VAX...)
+ Recognised by "MM" plus the 16 bit number 42 at the start of the file for
big endian machines (M680x0...)
+ Can read PackBits images and LZW compressed forms (at least the 3 its
seen so far...)
- Cannot read predictor compressed LZW images.
- So far ChangeFSI has only done 1, 4, 8 and 24 bit images.
It can't read "planar" images or CCITT compressed forms.
- Some TIFF images have incorrect pixel sizes: use -nosize if this is
true. If no pixel size is specified, ChangeFSI assumes mode 27 size.
+ TIFF is a trademark of Aldus Corporation
The CompuServe GIF format
Used for wide area network transfer of images. It provides an LZW
compressed up to 256 colours from 2^24 arbitrary sized image. Details from
CompuServe (USA) [or usenet]
+ Recognised by "GIF87a" at the start of the file
+ LZW compression is efficient even for dithered images
+ ChangeFSI can decompress LZW quickly
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
- many low quality images around from PCs
The Electronic Arts IFF ILBM format
Provides an arbitrary sized image with up to 4096 colours sometimes run
length encoded. ChangeFSI understands the generic format and also the
special Amiga format for "HAM" and "Half-bright" images.
+ Recognised by "FORM" as the first four characters and "ILBM" as
characters 8 to 11
- Only pixel aspect ratio specified, not its size (and then sometimes
incorrectly): use -nosize *and* a size change (a:b) if its wrong
- images often small
- doesn't understand Amiga "hires"
- can't convert HAM pictures directly to monochrome
The MicroSoft Windows 3 .BMP format
Used by MicroSoft in Windows 3 and PaintBrush for Windows 3. Provides an
arbitrary sized image and 1, 4 or 8 bits per pixel. Uncompressed.
+ Recognised by "BM" as the first two characters
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
- documentation never seen - 7 files examined and intelligent guesses made!
The Digital Research GEM .IMG format
Used by GEM (and GEM Paint) on both PC and Atari ST. Provides an arbitrary
sized image and number of bits per pixel (though its only usually used with
up to 5 bits per pixel) and pixel size. Compressed by run length encoding
and line repeats.
- Recognised by 00 01 00 08 as the first four bytes ("version 1, header
length 8") or by "IMG" as the name of the directory the file is in.
- Planar file format slow to read
- Palette not specified: ChangeFSI assumes linear shades of grey. You might
need to use -invert if the image is a negative
- The size of a pixel is specified in microns. The standard RISC OS 90
pixels per inch translates to (1/90*2.54*10,000) microns - 282. (use
-info to get information about the scaling, -nosize to stop it)
- Documentation from the "ST World" magazine's clinic.
An unknown PC .PIC format
Used for some VGA demos, the format provides an uncompressed 320 by 200 by
256 colour (from 2^24) VGA screen dump.
+ Recognised by "AV_VO" as the first five bytes in the file
- Documentation never seen
- Pixel size assumed the same as MODE 13 (45 pixels per inch).
The MacPaint format
Provides a 576 by 720 bitmap, run length coded by the Mac's "PackBits"
algorithm (repeated bytes).
- Recognised by "PNTG" at position 65 in the file. This may only relate to
files which have been through a program called "MacFix". Data assumed to
start at position 128 in the file. Header ignored.
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 25 assumed
The Mac PICT2 format (PICT extended version 2)
Provides an arbitary size packed picture, run length coded by the Mac's
"PackBits" algorithm (repeated bytes).
+ Recognised by looking for the PICT header at position 514 in the file.
The header is 00 11 02 FF 0C 00 FF FE.
- Documentation available but mostly useless (it assumes you are about to
call QuickDraw routines - "Note: for maximum safety and convenience, let
QuickDraw generate and interpret your pictures." Apple fail to describe
the PackBits algorithm in Inside Mac...)
- PICT is the loose equivalent of RISC OS Draw file format, but without
the explicit sizing of objects - for PICT, if there is an object that
you don't understand, there's no way of skipping it (whereas for Draw,
the size of the object is specified in an object indep. way). Apple
present a large table of the sizes of the objects (0000 - FFFF) which is
not in ChangeFSI. Consequently, if ChangeFSI finds an object it doesn't
know about before the picture, it stops...
- Only PackBitsRect (0098) (8bpp) and DirectBitsRect (009A) (24/32 bpp) are
allowed.
+ ChangeFSI tries to skip a Clip (0001) region if it encounters it, since it
is hard to get the Mac OS to make PICT files without a clip opcode in them.
+ size of pixel specified.
- Only 3 pictures read - since the format is very complicated (e.g. the size
of things change if >250 rows in the picture!) this is no guarentee that
anything else will be right.
The ZSoft .PCX format
Used by PC Paintbrush. Usually a 4 bit per pixel image (CGA, EGA, VGA) but
can be 1-8 bits per pixel.
- Recognised by 10,[0,2,3,4,5],1 at start of file. Or by name PCX.<foo>. Or
by type &697.
+ Intelligent check for resolution of the DACs on the PC card. Use -info to
find out what ChangeFSI thinks it is.
+ Pixel size information read. You may need to stop the scaling with
-nosize, since its often wrong.
The RIX Softworks ColoRIX format
Used by VGA Paint, image extension .SCE .. .SCX. 4 or 8 bits per pixel.
- Recognised by "RIX3" at start of file
- Documentation never seen
- Only 5 files read: ChangeFSI checks to see if the header is the same
as these files and complains otherwise.
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The Sun "pixrect" format
Used under SunOS and also under X11. Commonly 1 or 8 bits per pixel, but up
to 24 bits per pixel can be found (see the Sun NeWS release tape!).
+ Recognised by &59A55A95 at the start of the file.
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
- Sun didn't specify the pixel ordering of 24 bit per pixel images: many
assume RGB when it was actually BGR. Change byte &17 in the Sun
rasterfile between 1 and 3 if you have a problem.
The "pbm" 'portable bitmap' file format
Used by the "PBM-PLUS" toolkit (mainly Unix) by Jef Poskanzer. 1-24 bits
per pixel (more can be specified in the format but ChangeFSI cannot read
them). ChangeFSI can only read the "RAWBITS" formats (it can write all of
the pbm formats).
+ Recognised by P4/P5/P6 at start of file.
+ Writable by ChangeFSI
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The UNIX "rle" format
Used by a program called "svfb" to save the contents of large frame
buffers, checked with four images at 24 bits per pixel.
+ Recognised by &CC52 at the start of the file.
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The TrueVision Targa format
Used by TrueVision for Vista boards. Up to 32 bits per pixel.
- Recognised by suffix _TGA or _VDA on the name. Or by type &69d.
- Only uncompressed formats readable.
- Only 8 and 16 bit per pixel formats tested.
The "Flexible Image Transport System" (FITS) format
Used for astronomical data. Up to 16 bits per pixel component.
+ Recognised by "SIMPLE" at the start of the file.
- Only 8 and 16 bit per pixel component formats tested.
- Only two files ever seen!
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The Irlam instruments colour scanner format
24 bit per pixel from colour scanner.
+ Recognised by Irlam 24 at the start of the file.
+ Writable by ChangeFSI
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
- may need gamma correction
The Irlam instruments YUV 411 colour video format
7 bits Y, up to 7 bits U and V.
+ Recognised by Irlam YUV 411 at the start of the file
- no resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The JPEG 'JFIF' File Interchange Format
Up to 24 bits R,G,B, compressed by the JPEG compression system.
+ Recognised by JFIF at position 6 in the file (you may have to
cut headers off files, particularly if they are from Macs).
+ Often highly compressed
+ If ChangeFSI$Cache is large enough (bigger than the file), then high
speed routines are used to decompress. Otherwise:
- ChangeFSI calls a djpeg routine. This can be on the Run$Path, implemented
as an Alias (in which case it *must* use WimpTask to start) or found
inside ChangeFSI$Dir if all else fails. cjpeg (the compressor) is also
available inside ChangeFSI$Dir - you will need to convert the image to
P6 format before it can be compressed. Djpeg and cjpeg are by the
PD JPEG group.
- ... and therefore slow. Needs a lot of space in <Wimp$Scrap>.
- no resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
>> The following file formats are only recognised by their names.
An unknown PC .DSP format
Experimentally determined that it holds a 640 by 350 EGA picture at 4 bits
per pixel. ChangeFSI "knows" the default EGA palette (from IBM literature).
- Recognised by being in a directory "DSP"
- Documentation never seen
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
- Only two examples read(!)
The QRT .raw format
Output from Steve Koren's public domain ray tracer: arbitrary size in 2^24
colours, uncompressed. Documentation part of QRT.
- Recognised by the name ending ".Raw". Or by type &698.
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The MTV pic. format
Output from Mark Terrence VandeWettering public domain ray tracer arbitrary
size in 2^24 colours, uncompressed. Documentation part of MTV. Also used by
"RayShade".
- Recognised by being in a directory "Pic.". Or by type &699.
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
The RT image. format
Output from "RT", a private ray tracer by Brian D Watt(?) arbitrary size in
2^24 colours, run length encoded.
- Recognised by being in a directory "Image."
- No resolution specified, equal to mode 27 assumed
For many of these formats, especially the uncompressed ones, setting the
variable "ChangeFSI$Cache" to the number of bytes of temporary memory you
wish the program to use will speed up reading the information. The default
is 49152 bytes. For example "*set ChangeFSI$Cache 80k". For those worried
about speed, the program will go faster if:
- you use -noscale and keep 1:1 ratios (don't specify them)
(although -nosize and 1:1 or 1:2 ratios are quick, too)
- you don't need sharpening, histogram equalisation, range expansion
- you use monochrome (e.g. 25, 26, 27 and 27t) modes
additionally you can disable dithering (-nodither) especially when reading
monochrome source.
You can avoid the program changing mode by putting -nomode on the command line.
Very large output files can be built strips at a time and sent directly to disk
using the parameter "-max" e.g:
ChangeFSI <in> <out> 28 -max512K
will convert the file with a maximum of 512KBytes held in memory. Options 25t,
-rotate and -vflip don't work when this is being done.
Work will be done on other formats when and if both image and documentation
arrive on my desk. Adding a new format is a matter of (a) putting in automatic
recognition of the format at the start of the program (b) reading the size of
the image and the colour palette mapping [in the next section of the program]
(c) writing a "read pixel row" element inside PROCiprow (d) providing an entry
in PROCrewind. If you write a new format interface, please send it to me so
that it will be included in later versions. ChangeFSI has already got code for
dealing with images with 1, 2, 4 and 8 bits per pixel packed into bytes and for
images with up to 8 bit planes. There is support code for LZW decompression and
LZW decoding.
As a special feature, ChangeFSI will also write out 256 grey level files (alter
rwt, gwt and bwt to get 256 level colour separations) in AIM format. This is
file type 4 with bytes representing the grey level. Use the = operation to
restrict the picture to 256x256y, otherwise it will be the same size as the
input. Specify "aim" as the mode string to do this.
For portability to other machines, ChangeFSI can write out files in "pbm"
format. There are 3 types of format "black/white" (pbm), "grey" (pgm) and
"colour" (ppm) with pure ASCII and binary encodings of each:
ASCII Binary
p1 "black/white" (like mode 18) p4 (big endian bytes!)
p2 "grey" (like mode 20t) p5
p3 "true colour" p6
Files can be read with Jef Poskanzer's portable toolkit on other machines. The
p2 format is easily convertible by programmers; it consists of:
P2
# comment line
xsize ysize
maximum_value
pixel_value <whitespace> pixel_value
where all the numbers are in decimal (ASCII). 0 means black, maximum_value (=
15) means white. The p3 format is similar with r, g, b triples for each pixel
value. The number of bits per component (default 8) can be set from the command
line with, for example, "p3,4" for 4 bits per component.
As a special packed output format, "P15" has been implemented. Output is binary
pixel values, 5 bits per component, little endian RGB order packed into 16
bits. Header information as the other p formats.
Files can be written as new RISC OS sprites using S16 and S32 as the formats.
The x and y pixels per inch are given as a comma seperated list - a 16 bit mode
12 equivalent is S16,90,45 while a 32 bit mode 28 equivalent is S32,90,90.
ChangeFSI can write Irlam format images (somewhat slower than p6 images...).

ChangeFSI can be used from both the desktop front end and from the command
line. It can also be used as a BASIC library function:
LIBRARY"<ChangeFSI$Dir>.ChangeFSI" gives a new function, FNChangeFSI to the
BASIC programmer. This function takes:
A$: a command line argument
spritearea%: an address or -1 for the spritearea built by ChangeFSI
workspace%: an address or -1 for ChangeFSI's other workspace
worklimit%: an address (unused if workspace%<0)
fast%: TRUE for MODE 0 selection
It produces an error (to whatever error handler is present) if it fails. If
spritearea% is <0 it will save the sprite to the file given in the command
string, otherwise it won't. The function FNChangeFSIVersion returns the version
string of the library (in the info box of the desktop application).
Command Summary
===============
-info give details
-hist don't process image, but display histogram of it instead
-hflip horizontally flip the image
-vflip vertically flip the image
-rotate rotate the image by +90 degrees (i.e. anti-clockwise)
-rotate- rotate the image by -90 degrees (i.e. clockwise)
-max set the maximum size of the image before disc is used
-noscale disable automatic pixel size correction
-nosize disable automatic pixel size correction for input pixels only
-nodither disable dithering
-nomode don't change to mode 0 while processing the picture
-invert invert colour range of image
-range expand input's dynamic range to full scale
-equal histogram equalisation
-sharpen digitally sharpen the picture
-gamma set gamma correction
-black correct for black ink spot size
-red change red weight for deriving monochrome luminance
-green change green weight for deriving monochrome luminance
-blue change blue weight for deriving monochrome luminance
-brighten horrendous hack to slightly brighten images: may convert hues
close to white to white. (It causes the output range 0..15 to
be considered as 0..(15/16) instead of 0..(15/15)).
Mode Suffixes
=============
c
1 bit modes: use clustered dithering with 4x4 cell
2 bit modes: use the four colours "black", "cyan", "magenta" and "yellow"
d
1 bit modes: use clustered dithering with 2x2 cell
4 bit modes: use 1 bit red, 1 bit green, 1 bit blue
8 bit modes: use 256 level grey scale
t
1 bit modes: use clustered dithering with 3x3 cell
4 bit modes: 16 level grey scale
r
2 bit modes: Roger Wilson's (me) colour matching algorithm
4 bit modes: Roger Wilson's (me) colour matching algorithm
8 bit modes: Roger Wilson's (me) colour matching algorithm
-no suffix-
1 bit modes: b/w dispersed dot dithering
2 bit modes: 4 level grey scale
4 bit modes: 8 level grey scale
8 bit modes: John Bowler's colour matching algorithm
(defaults to 'r' mode if not VIDC1 compatible)
Colour matching is done in r, g, b space: the minimum distance between colours
is the square root of:
delta_r^2*rmatchwt+delta_g^2*gmatchwt+delta_b^2*bmatchwt
ChangeFSI has hard wired weights of 3, 10, 1 respectively for its colour
matching algorithms. John Bowler's algorithm (default for RISC OS 8 bit modes)
although somewhat slower, is fast enough to have replaced all the previous
methods [ASIDE it gives pictures at least as good as "p" mode in pre Aug 91
ChangeFSI's]. Roger Wilson's (i.e. my) colour matching algorithm is
recommended, and is used automatically if the 8 bit per pixel mode does not
have the default RISC OS colour set.
[NOTE: thanks are due to Steve Green and the BBC and Irlam Instruments for the
intermediate systems that led to John Bowler's and my algorithms: until Aug 91
ChangeFSI used their work for its "Precise Matching" algorithm. It no longer
uses any of their code, but owes a debt for overall approach. A small thank you
to Spencer Thomas for putting me on the track which led to my colour matching
system's algorithm.]

Ulichney published by the MIT Press, ISBN 0-262-21009-6. A book which I wish
I'd had when I started writing the program, rather than after it was nearly
finished! Histogram equalisation is in "Algorithms for Graphics and Image
