1    What is it

QTIMAGE is a digital imaging software for the Sinclar QL.
It is useful to modify _pic format images, that can be afterwards
used as they are or inserted in other documents.
A number of filters can be applied on the images, to obtain
various artistic effects.
QTIMAGE is based on PHGTK by David Westbury, is written in SBASIC 
and compiled with QLIBERATOR.


2    File types

The program works only on _pic files.
Other formats (JPG, GIF and PNG) must be imported into the program
before working on them.


3    Look

Program interface is made of fine overlapped areas.
From top to bottom:
1 - Title bar with buttons for window handling.
2 - Menu bar, with all the commands related to the files
3 - Icon bar, containing the shortcuts to the most important features.
4 - Work area, in which the image shows.
5 - Status bar, reporting the file name and the zoom level.
