  Convert photo to ST-LOW
So we have an ST-LOW PI1 photo compo this year. Many people probably have their own optimized way to do the conversion, which is great.

But for those who want a quick way to convert a photo to ST-LOW PI1, here's a guide!


Browser based Javascript tool made by Percy of Light.
  1. Convert your image to 320*200 truecolour with your favourite graphics tool
  2. Save as 24-bit PNG
  3. Start Animas IMENHANCE
  4. Set it up like:
    • Colourspace: Atari ST (512 colour palette)
    • Screen size: 320x200
    • Max. colours: 16
    • Dither colour bleed reduction: Experiment yourself
    • Quantisation colour preservation: Experiment yourself
    • Luminance delta (flickering): Experiment yourself
  5. Once setup, select file and see the result.
  6. The last two images are valid (Quantised Atari ST Degas image and Quantised and dithered Atari ST Degas image)
  7. Save the one you like best and submit your entry!
Good luck!
