Fletch Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Anyone have a copy of this? Digispec Works with your Computereyes digitizer to capture 512-color images from a video camera or VCR. Then it displays the image on your color monitor and lets you adjust the color balance, brightness and contrast before you save it to disk in Spectrum 512 format. On top of 512 pure colors, Digispec's dithering capabilities bring the number of simulated colors to 24,389. And the program is compatible with Amiga 1FF files and CompuServe GIF files. You can view any Amiga picture, even a 4,096-color Hold-and-Modify mode picture, and convert it to Spectrum 512 format, then touch it up in Spectrum 512.

AtariGeezer Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Will be getting into those boxes soon, had to move some stuff around but can open them now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) DigiSpec_1.1.ST Give this a try... Edited August 30, 2020 by AtariGeezer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp060 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Cheers for the effort, but sadly it appears unreadable. Quite a few sectors including the directory sectors contain "SORRY, THIS SECTOR CANNOT BE READ FROM FLOPPY DISK BY ST RECOVER."

AtariGeezer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Will give it a go on real HW as soon as I can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Android8675 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I had this setup with my old 520st, back in the day, it worked really well. It wasn't until I realized that when converting to 512 colors you can press space to switch back to 16 color mode on the screen and the rest of the image will render faster. the early reveal while processing was just so if you thought it was going to turn out like shit you could abort and try again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp060 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Space bar isn't working for me, but the left mouse button speeds it up. Been looking for a working version for a while. Cheers to @Rich5 for uploading it. Edited January 5, 2023 by lp060 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm not quite coming to grips with this program. I might just be misunderstanding it's intended purpose? I downloaded it and set it up on my Mega STe. I ran it from low res and attempted to load 1 of 3 different JPG pictures I had transferred over from my Kubuntu Linux laptop. They are not terribly large - anywhere from 100k to 200k or so... Regardless, it always pops up a message saying that the pictures are an "incompatible format". Thanks.

I'm fairly certain it won't load jpg. I don't think we'd even heard of that format back then. Try gifs or iff. I'm sure it loaded those up. As I mentioned in the other thread I mostly used the desk accessory that came with it that let you integrate degas elite with spectrum512.

lp060 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 It loads gif, iff, spu, spc, and raw files from the digitizer. Try to stick to 320x200 else it will likely reject them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Oh, okay - gotcha. My bad, for some reason I had thought it worked on JPG's as well. I'll repeat my efforts but with the correct format this time. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
