The version generated by the parameter file *IS* the altered image. When I alter an image in a separate program, I make only color changes, which I then save as a GIF file, load into Fractint and encode into a normal parameter file.
I'm missing something here. I tried taking one of the FOTD images into Corel Photopaint, changed the brightness, contrast and intensity and re-saved as a GIF file. Restoring the new file into Fractint doesn't allow me to zoom in so I guess the par info saved with the original GIF has been lost. Where have I gone wrong?
Apparently, the Corel program strips out the encoded GIF data when it saves a GIF file. When you save the altered image, do not overwrite the original. Then load the altered image into Fractint and save the new colors as a *.map file. Reload the original unaltered image into Fractint and load the *.map file that you have just saved into the original. Save the resulting image, which now contains both data and altered colors. Jim M.
Thanks for this Jim. It works just like you said! Chris Curnow Jim Muth said on Sunday, February 16, 2003 9:34 PM
