Anyone here familiar with an "IMG" picture? I want to download (onto my computer)a picture of a car and the picture is in IMG format. I cannot download the picture because my computer doesn't recognize it.What steps do I have to take to get the pictures to download and have my computer recognize them? Thanks guys.
Hmmm.....If memory serves me correctly: :Smarty: This file converter may do the trick https://www.regnow.com/softsell/vis...plus.com/download.php?file=imageconverter.zip Format of GEM bitmap (.IMG) Overview The GEM bitmap is the save file format used by GEM Paint and Ventura Publisher. Some programs seem to be aware only of the Ventura version and crash on GEM Paint files, or render Paint images as greyscale. All word values are 16-bit, signed and big-endian. In this listing, "DW" (define word) is used to indicate such a word. File header DW version DW header_size DW planes DW pattern_size DW pixel_width DW pixel_height DW image_width DW image_height (maybe more words) These fields are: version is (as far as I can tell) always 1. header_size is the number of words in the file header. This is 8 for GEM Paint files and 9 for Ventura files. planes is 1 for monochrome files and 4 for 16-colour files. Paint Shop Pro can also save an 8-plane greyscale file; presumably this file format is used by Ventura. pattern_size is the length in bytes of a pattern (see below), 1-8. GEM Paint uses 2 bytes. pixel_width,pixel_height are the size of a pixel in tenths of a millimetre. These give the aspect ratio of the image. image_width, image_height are the actual dimensions of the image. Image data The image is formed of image_height * planes rows of data. For a multi-plane image, the first planes rows are the colours for the first screen line, the next planes rows are for the second, and so on. A normal four-plane image stores the planes in order R,G,B,I. A row is formed of one or more records, of three types. Records do not span multiple rows; RLE DB rlebyte This record is a single byte. Bits 6-0 hold the number of repetitions (1-127). If bit 7 is 0 then the byte to be repeated is 0; else it is 0xFF. Literal string DB 80h DB count DB byte,byte,... This record contains a number of bytes of literal data. The record size is 2 + count Pattern DB 00h DB number of repetitions DB byte,byte,... The pattern is a repeated sequence of bytes. The number of bytes in a pattern is given in the header; hence the record length is 2 + pattern_size. Repeated rows DB 00h, 00h, 0FFh DB number of repetitions (records for a planes rows) If a set of planes rows (ie, one line of pixels) is repeated several times, then the 4-byte sequence above is used to reduce it to a single instance. Phewww.....I might have left one or two other things out ou:
Are you sure its an IMG? Could you be looking at the path to the picture (which may include an "img" tag telling the browser where to find the image)? Your computer should be able to download anything, whether it knows what it is or not. You may not be able to open/view a file, but you should be able to download it. Also, if you can see it in the browser, your computer can recognize it. Here is some info on the IMG format.. You can try opening it as a RAW image if your imaging program allows. Or try pasting a link into this thread and we can check it out.
Thanks guys! I'll try it out and let you know if it worked for me. BTW Alan, how did you remember all that?!!!! :eek2:
