Information about “VGACAD 1 OF 3 (ALSO 1588, 2122)”
VGACAD is an all-purpose graphics editor, image processor and paint
program to create, enhance, or colorize digitized images.
VGACAD provides 21 brush shapes with 5 different brush modes, normal,
spray, air#1, air#2, and eraser. There are 256 color fills, border
tracing, and pattern/gradient fills. Three modes of zoom editing are
also available. Air#1 (airbrush) adds a color mixture as you paint
over your picture, just like a real air brush. Air#2 mixes colors in
more gradually. Spray, when used with the Mask feature, has the
effect of placing a stencil over the painted area. Colorize grey
images in the same way old movies are reborn in color. Cut and Paste
functions are also fully supported.
VGACAD provides several ways of altering the size and orientation of an
image. Rotate the entire screen 90x or continue to 180x to turn it
upside-down. Create a mirror image, or an upside-down mirror image, of
any defined area.
VGACAD supports .BLD, .PLT, .GIF and .CLP file formats. Utilities are
provided to convert pictures to VGA from CGA and EGA, and from VGA to
EGA. Also available is a VGA print utility that prints any viewable
color picture in 7 user-selected grey shades. Shrink large-sized
pictures. Edit large .GIF files (up tp 32K x 32K x 256).
VGACAD has been used by such institutions as Lawrence Livermore Labs,
the University of Pittsburgh, Warner Brothers, and the New York Times.
