zip0 BigClipper v3.0

BigClipper v3.0 by Nicholas J. Vrtis (1988) - BigClipper will allow you to make almost any size Photo Scrap you want from a geoPaint file. There are a few restrictions based on the way Photo Scraps are handled by geoWrite and geoPaint. The height and width must be an even multiple of 8 pixels. Also, since color information applies to an 8x8 square, and BigClipper does not require you to make your clipping on an even 8x8 square, BigClipper ignores color, and stores the clipping as Black on a Grey3 Background. There is a 20k buffer limit, so some clippings may be too big or complex to fit.

Thanks to Bruce Thomas for sending over this handy GEOS utility.  Bruce also included two geoPaint images in the archive; the first is a handy grid to assist in setting your clipping parameters in BigClipper and the other called "geoPaint Super 64/128 Size Chart" is an excellent reference for understanding the visible screen areas in geoPaint.  The Size Chart is based on Compute!'s Gazette June 1988 article in "the geos column" (Page 41). Both geoPaint images are also included as PDF files.

zip1 Click Pix v1.2

Click Pix v1.2 by Spike Dethman for the Commodor 64 & GEOS is an application that can turn a geoPaint picture into a stand alone executable.  Although you still need GEOS to view the picture, you don't need geoPaint as the picture will have it's own built-in viewer that can scroll around if the picture is bigger than the screen size.  Full docs included.

zip2 GeoFetch v1.0

GeoFetch v1.0 by Scott E. Resh (September 3rd, 1989) - With this neat utility, you can grab anything you see on the screen and turn it into a "photo scrap".  A photo scrap is kind of the equivalent to the clipboard in Windows.  Once you've grabbed the region of the screen you want to save and it goes into the photo scrap, you can then use the "Photo Manager" to add that scrap/capture into a "Photo Album".  Photo albums are a collection of up to 60 various images, usually grouped together in similarity.

Note - This program originally came from the Loadstar GEOS Apps 1 disk.

zip10 Print Photo Album v2.5

Print Photo Album 2.5 by Dave Hunter (8/22/87) - This program is really handy to get a printout of all the images in a photo album for reference sake.  One of the nice features is that you can number the images so when you use the GEOS Photo Manager or SraPeek you can skip right to the correct image.

Note - Although the program information still has this listed as v1.1, I can assure you it isn't.  V1.1 would not process v2.0 Photo Albums, but this one does.
