This is a script that converts images given on the command line to a
certain resolution and color depth using one of the following programs:

- ArtEffect2:   tested with version 2.6, 3 and 4
- PPaint:       tested with version 6.4 and 7.x, extra support for 7.x
- Photogenics2: tested with version 2b, not supposed to work with
                Photogenics NG as it does not have ARexx support
- ImageMagick:  Tested with ImageMagick 5.5.5 from
                http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amiga/ImageMagick-5.5.5.lha
                (ported by Diego Casorran)

It is used mainly for converting a whole bunch of images in one go.

I use it with Directory Opus Magellan. You can use it with any other file
manager - not that Opus isn't just a file manager anymore ;-) - that
allows flexible configuration.

I have written it for the purpose of converting the pictures of themes to
a format that Opus can easily load via common picture datatypes for
AmigaOS.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: I decided to release ImageConvert under the GPL starting
with Version 1.9 (1.7.2001). This does not affect earlier versions of
ImageConvert.

Thanks to Greg Perry from GP Software for kind permission to release
ImageConvert independently from the Opus Plus CD-ROM. Good luck with
Directory Opus 6 for Windows. I wish it would be on Amiga, QNX and/or
Linux instead.

When you continue development of ImageConvert I would like to know. I
maybe also can help to avoid that two people are doing the same work at
the same time. I currently have no plans on developing this any further.
This may change at will ;-)
