: OK, some of you know that I have been working on a small program to convert batches of images to the dink palette. well, i finally completed my first test!!
: THe only problem is, i have no idea how the first resulkts compare with using adobe photoshop...
: I have _just_ converted the palette, no other operations at this stage. i could apply some enhancment filters, maybe a slight blur, and then a sharpen?? i don't know, please tell me what you think! the two pictures are:
: http://thomi.imail.net.nz/other/one.bmp (the original file)
: and
: http://thomi.imail.net.nz/other/one1.bmp (the converted image)
: maybe someone could download one.bmp and convert it with something else, and post it, so i can compare results??
: thanks...
It looks like your thing maintains indexes... which is bad. Essentially, it is harder than it seems... you have to do nearest-color matching. So you have to figure out, say, that from the source bmp pallete index 00 matches pallete index F2 in the Dink pallete.
This is what Photoshop does: http://www.dinknetwork.com/screenshots/one2.bmp
Just curious... why are you doing this? I'm all for competition and everything, but DinkersPal was released over a month ago, and does the same thing
