  Converting graphics.          
            
 Since the only GFX-maker in 
group, then I will answer the question 
me too.                                   
  I will consider converting graphics from 
pussy. Moreover, I will look at it without getting into 
wilds like .bmp format files, etc.   
  So: we are interested in the issue of conversion 
printing color graphics from IBM PC. Because 
from the person who wants to convert 
color graphics from the pussy, a must 
have access to this Mazda, then before 
all you need to do is stock up on writing utilities. 
 First of all, you need to get the Zx program 
conv.  This is the most convenient graphics converter 
ki. It can convert colored pussy- 
kov files into black and white screendumps 
Spectrum and transfer(!) colors from the pussy- 
kovyh pictures into Spectrum (based on 
cip nearest color).                      
 To convert color pisyukova 
just download pictures in black and white 
it and, selecting the 2nd function in the Ibm>Zx option, 
convert it into a screendump. After that 
you can write a file like .scr.           
 To convert color graphics you need 
There is one more program - Sea gfx viewer. 
This program supports all major 
graphics formats that work with 
pussy.                                   
  It can also convert pictures 
Steinberg's method from 24 bit to 
256-color, and with such an envelope 
the differences will be invisible to the eye. Sometimes 
(almost always) with an envelope of 256 to 
16-color picture differences are also small - 
noticeable.                                  
  We are interested in a 16-color picture. 
Convert any image with this viewer 
in 16-color .BMP format (in the con- 
rotation must be enabled:            
  (x) BMP (x) 16 color (x) Steinberg     
  In this case, in the required directory (the path can be 
indicate in the line just below the settings) bu- 
A .BMP file has been created. It is advisable that 
the file was reduced to the size of specovskaya 
screen.                                   
   After this, load the ZXC and, selecting the 
tod Color, convert this file. Then 
deformity thatin this case it will be possible 
but then correct it in Art Studio.         
  In case of severe failure, you should convert 
as follows:                   
  (x)LBM (x)4 color (x)Steinberg    
  This will create a file with the extension 
I eat .LBM.  After that convert this 
.LBM to 256-color .BMP (currently 
there will be no more flowers there, but from the fire- 
ry it will be possible to squeeze out standard spe- 
kovsky colors).                           
  Next, load this file into Paint and 
adjust the colors to match the standard ones. For example 
measure with a knife, cut out the pale red color 
from the picture and in the palette with the RIGHT button 
mouse select normal red. And for- 
by selecting `rubber band` ;), RIGHT button 
mice erase this color.                 
  Now ship and download this 
file in ZXC. Selecting the conversion method 
`Color` transfer the image to the format.     
  Don't pay attention to the brightness - it's 
It will be possible to correct it in Artstudio.       
 That's it - the conversion is done.      
  The only thing I can say is that if 
you do not have these programs, then contact 
me - I will always have them.
