This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                                ===========


Zero
====
One of the most useful tools in any office, is the photocopier. If you've got
a scanner, and a printer, then you have all the components of a photocopier
that can probably give better results than most real copiers. Obviously the
simplest thing is to just scan a page into ImageMaster, and then print it
out. However ImageMaster prints via the RISC OS printer driver system - this
is slow, because it is trying to make the best of your image - getting
greyscales etc. right. For photocopying all we want is to get each pixel on
the scanner onto one pixel on the printer - this is what Zero does. Currently
it only supports Computer Concepts Laser direct printer. Other printers may
follow in due course.

To use Zero, simply click on the icon bar icon. A window will appear in
which you can enter the number of copies you want. Clicking on Copy
will present the usual TWAIN source window.

The only trick is that the resolution selected on the scanner, must match
that on the printer. For 600x600dpi on the printer select X=600 Y=300
on the scanner. The scan must be 1bpp (black and white).


RISC OS 2.00
============
The current version of ImageMaster will not work with this. A version which will
work is available upon request.




Release 1.07
============
All programs recompiled for Strong ARM.
ImageMaster now uses a dynamic area for its memory on RISC PC's - should be
more responsive on non SA RPC's when using a lot of memory.



Release 1.06
============
Added 'Modes' file to Resources directory. It is a common problem to find that
sprites which you want to load have been created in some odd loadable (soft) screen
MODE which you do not possess. The Modes file allows you to enter definitions for these
MODE's.

Fix problems with loading CC colour card sprites.

Add Encapsulated Post Script (EPS) export.



Release 1.05
============
Add button "Save in old format" to Sprite sub configuration window.
When selected this will force all images with more than 8bpp to
be saved in 8bpp format. The conversion will be done with the current
Change Format settings.

A new variable has been added to the !ImgMaster.Resources.Config file -
PollCount controls how often ImageMaster will give control back
to the desktop. The reason for this, is that on the RISC PC,
polling is slow, and scanning can be a lengthy process if other
tasks are running. By increasing PollCount you can reduce this affect.

PCX, BMP, GIF, MTV, PBM and Clear configuration windows now allow
default resolution to be set. This is the resolution in dpi which
will be initially given to images of these types. Usually 90x90 or
90x45 dpi.

Further fiddling with RLE BMP's.

Add new templates and sprites.

Recompile with Cv5 - some speed gains on JPEG's etc.


Release 1.04
============
Enable 24 bit colour printing.
Redesign info palette with buttons for undo, redo and scan.
Improve some sprite designs.
Fix assorted bugs.
Support for 3 pass colour scanners.

Added reverse filter operation to colour menu. This reverses the effects of
putting an image through a colour filter. Imagine you had taken a photograph
through a coloured filter, then this option would undo the effects of the
filtering, producing an image that looked as if no filter had been used.
The practical use for this is processing scans of colour negatives. 
This is what you should do with a colour negative scan.
(1) Open the colour palette and click on the film background, using the
Select tool and with SHIFT pressed. Set the colour tint/strength to 100%.
Finally click on the foreground colour icon with Adjust. You have now set
the foreground colour to the same colour as the negative film.
(2) Use Reverse filter from the colour menu.
(3) Use Invert from the filter menu.
Your colour negative is now developed.
Scanning at high brightness will help get better results, as will applying some gamma
correction.


Release 1.03
============
Implement code for new 16 and 32bpp screen modes.
Allow default resolution for GIF files to be set.

Release 1.02
============
Implement undo/redo. The number of steps you can undo is set from the
general configuration window. Undo/redo appear on the File menu.
As usual in RISC OS, you can also use F8 and F9.
Fixed numerous problems with TIFF files.

Release 1.01
============
All the programs now have two sets of templates. 'Templates' are 3D style
suitable for RISC OS 3, whilst 'Templates2' are 2D style for RISC OS 2.
Which set is used depends on a system variable programname$Templates, e.g.
Trace$Templates. By default this is set in the programs !Run file to
the correct setting for the OS. You can however change this, for
example if you want to force the use of 2D templates on RISC OS 3.

Made ImageMaster work under RISC OS 2, by adding Sprites2 file to
resources directory.

Fixed various minor bugs, including Windows RLE BMP files.

Added John Fergusons new templates to all programs.
