PROGRAM OVERVIEW

      STipple is a program for viewing, translating and saving graphic images
on the Atari ST, STE and TT series computers. STipple supports a wide variety
of graphic image file formats ranging from computer dependant formats such as
NEO, Degas and MacPaint to hardware independent formats such as GIF and CP8.

      STipple allows your ST to show graphics created on a PC, an Amiga, or
whatever, even if the original image has more colours or pixels than the ST can
display. Likewise STipple will load and display any ST graphic in any
resolution. It also allows you to convert your Atari ST images into GIF and
MacPaint formats for exchange with other systems.  

      STipple has a rich translation feature which will translate between a
number of graphic file formats without first converting them to an ST
resolution. This file-to-file translation allows conversion without a loss of
image quality. Conversions include GIF, Spectrum 512, and AIM.

      STipple is GEM-based and operates in all three ST resolutions, and five
of the six TT resolutions. When an image is loaded it can be scaled and then
rendered with a variety of painting and dithering options. Images can be scaled
prior to dithering for maximum picture quality. Once loaded and rendered,
images are displayed in scrollable windows.

      The on-screen images (rasters) can be clipped and scaled and their
colours can be edited. The resulting image can be saved in a variety of Atari
and non-Atari formats. 

HOT FEATURES
      o    Easy to Use!
                 Simply select "Load Image" and select the file.  
      o    Colour Dither!
                 Images can be rendered in colour either by painting or
                 dithering. The colour dither is slower but produces fantastic
                 images in 16 colour mode.
      o    Two Gray Dithers!
                 Images can be rendered in grayscale using two dithering
                 routines.
      o    Edge Enhancement!
                 Blurry images can be "sharpened" prior to any gray dither by
                 selecting "edge enhancement".
      o    Arbitrary Scaling!
                 Images can be scaled by arbitrary percentages, from 5% to
                 500%. Individual horizontal and vertical scaling provided.
      o    Pre Dither Scaling!
                 Scale image before dithering for maximum image quality.
      o    Colour Editor!
                 Edit image colours with a moveable menu!
      o    Full Screen Mode!
                 Simply press "Escape" and the image fills the screen. Use
                 keypad to scroll.
      o    Full Screen File Save Preview!
                 Full screen mode shows clipping when saving NEO or Degas
                 screens. 
      o    Resolution/Size Converter!
                 A monochrome image can be converted to a 4 or 16 colour image
                 reduced in size. Likewise a 4 colour image can be reduced to
                 a smaller 16 colour image.
      o    STE Support!
                 Fully supports STE's 4096 colour palette. 
      o    TT Support!
                 Supports TT Medium and TT High. (TT Low not supported yet.)
                 Additional image save options for larger screens. (.PI5 &
                 .PI7)
      o    Overscan and large screen monitor support!.
                 Full Support for non-standard resolutions.
      o    Includes BONUS UTILITY PROGRAM FixMac!
                 Remove Mac Headers from Mac GIF files.
                 Place Mac Headers on headerless MacPaint files.

DEMONSTRATION

      For a demonstration of some of the features found in STipple try ViewGIF
1.2, STipple's shareware predecessor. STipple is more powerful, faster and
easier to use than ViewGIF.
