Picture Adjustment

You can work with two types of picture files: four-color pictures (*. pic) and photo-color pictures (*.xpic). To choose the version you want to use, just choose “Photo” or “Four” in the Color group in the Picture Adjustment Box

You’ll see the bmp image in the Converters main window just like it’ll look on your Cybiko Computer. This is so you can work with it a little more if you don’t immediately like what you see!

Check Preview at Picture Adjustment Box to view picture in Cybiko Computer colors. Uncheck Preview at Picture Adjustment Box to view picture in its original colors. In non-preview mode you can use only Zoom control slider. To move the frame at the main window use keyboard arrows or move the mouse while holding left button.

  1. Brightness
  2. Contrast
  3. Noise
