Atari Picture File Viewer for Windows on a PC.
Having had an Atari ST for more than 15 years I have collected quite a number of pictures in a variety of file formats. I have produced a program to enable easy viewing of these files on the PC with Windows.
This program will allow you to display various Atari picture formats.
NEW IN VERSION 4.1
Added Quantum Paint 128 colour low rez mode.
Small change to Quantum Paint 4096 mode.
New in Version 4.0
Now works properly with Windows Vista.
Added Quantum Paint formats.
Added a proper file association form.
Various other small fixes and cosmetic changes.
Because of the changes made to get the program working with Vista I don't think it will work with Win 95/98/ME anymore. I've left the previous version to download for those few who might need it.
Features.
File association. Click on an Atari picture file and the program will automatically start and display the picture.
Drag and drop. Just drag an Atari picture file onto the program and it will be displayed.
Slide show with adjustable delay time.
Resizable viewing window. The Atari formats are small compared to the resolution of modern PCs.
Picture Conversion. Save an Atari picture as a Windows bitmap picture.
Batch conversion of the Atari pictures into Windows bitmap format.
Print an Atari picture from the program. Adjustable size printing.
Paste into the Windows clipboard. Allows you to edit or save to other formats using your favorite Windows art package.
Try clicking on the Atari icons in the help section for a bit of fun!
The program can display the following formats:-
Neochrome. Low resolution.
Tiny. All resolutions.
Degas Uncompressed. All resolutions.
Degas Compressed. All resolutions.
Spectrum 512
Spectrum 512 Compressed.
Spectrum Smooshed (Some files. See plea for help below.)
Crack Art. All resolutions.
Quantum Paint. All modes I think!
Mac Paint. (Not an Atari format but I was asked to include it.)
