Software : : Show Girls - new version
Posted By: kiero. on 2004/5/22 10:57:06
What You have here is new version of Show Girls. For those who don't know what is it, Show Girls is image viewer with some image processing functions.

New in this release:

- Zoom reset with '0' key
- Thumbnail generator (Tools/Thumbnailer)
- Cropping/Autocropping (with preview enabled/disabled)
- Possibility to scroll, zoom, change display properties of the image when the processing tool is opened.
- Notification on currently displayed directory (list is refreshed when new files are moved in, deleted, renamed or updated)
- Reworked Minimum/maximum window (now called Median) and implemented 3 modes: Minimum/ Maximum/ Median.
- JPEG Saver: Optimize switch - produces a bit smaller images.
- Devices list revorked. It's easier to use now (less entries).
- Possibility to turn off immediate processing on slider movement (usefull for big images).
- Contrast and Gamma adjustment.
- Sharpening filter.
- Flip Horizontal/Vertical
- Color to gray conversion
- Negative
- Copy/Paste functionality. Unfortunately IFF/ILBM can't store alpha channel, so it's not copied
- Possibility to start in fullscreen mode (FS or FULLSCREEN param)
- Many small fixes and improvements. Key shortcuts, tab cycling, menu layout (thx tokai for pointing these).

It also includes several fixes, like:

- Black image bug.
- Save file requester remembers it's last path.
- Some typos.
- libjpeg was hitting on corrupted files.
- Slider position in some filters is reseted after window is reopened
- Smoothing can now be turned off for one direction (set to 0 pixels)
- Usage from Ambient (couldn't be used as Default Tool).

Hope You will like it. This tool is constantly developed so expect some supercool features in the future.

You can get it here:

    I'll be short: the best image viewer for MorphOS so far! Bilinear filtering for scaled image was really missing!

    Anime Development for Amiga Team has an utility called "unzens", what unzensors matrix zensored pictures...

    Could be nice has this included into Show Girls. You can make an option for select the zensored part of the image and unzernsor these part, or use some technic for detect the zensored part of the image and unzensor it. Or include both options ;-)

    ImageFX has been able to save and load iff's with alpha channel for awhile now.

    btw, can or will this program work on Amigas with gfx support? (like Winuae)???

    Try to load this ImageFX's iff into another app. You will get trash. It's simply writing 32planes of data instead of (better way imo) adding new chunk. There is no standard way. I MAY add an option to copy in ImageFX's format though in the future.

    no.

    hmm, i could be mistaken, but i don't recall having a problem. i have to try this with gimp and ACDSee, which normally sees iff's with no problem.

    oh, dear. i just tried this on my peg and it wouldn't start. i clicked on it again and the listers (on another screen) on my Dopus Magellan started to vibrate.

    i tried this after a reboot and it still won't start at all.

    bummer. :-(

    ok, please check if you have BetterString and BetterBalance MUI Custom Classes (from aminet). It shouldn't cause "vibrating windows", but..... Second thing get this new exec. It fixes one stupid bug (dunno why nobody reported it):
