Great conversion and excellent choice of source image. Like the dithering algorythm used here. If anything I reckon it would benefit from more dithering around the face. Can you share the source image? :)

Yes. Excellent 3 color parts. Green area, orange area and blue area. Shows the power of Atari 800/400!

These are real nice I will use them to start a slide show.  Nice work!

I'm getting the following error when I attempt to use the color remap batch file from RastaSlide 4.2.

Ok, thanks. that's interesting. The GO runtime itself is crashing. Were you able to run it OK on the 4.1 version of the color converter? I'm guessing it is crashing when it tries to open the Windows file selector GUI?

Feel free to PM me the details

Kind regards

Chris

This was the first time I'd run the "#try to remap colours.bat" at all; but I just tried the ones from version 4 and version 4.1 with the same results. The last version I've successfully run is "#try to map PAL to NTSC.bat" from version 3.3. I think "#try to map PAL to NTSC.bat" wasn't included with version 3.4; so, nothing to try there.

Changes in version 4.3
- Compiled with old GO version 1.20.14 which is the last that works with Windows 7
- Early version of tool to help recreate some files for RastaConverter /continue

 

@MrFish Hopefully this should work for you

Worked perfectly.

 

I was able to convert colors for the Lincoln stamp from the original PAL to NTSC and avoid the greenery growing on Lincoln's eyebrows that showed up using remap with Rastaslide 3.3. :D

 

With this version (4.3) zero colors failed to be mapped.

 

Great having a generic color remap with dialogue that allows choosing a file with conversion values desired -- as well as the improved mapping accuracy (and having all the other RastaSlide functions available). Thanks!

Never tried this before....so I thought I'd give it a go...not as good as all yours - open to tips.

It looks like you created the image with a PAL palette and are viewing it with an NTSC palette. When I load it in Altirra with the NTSC palette it nearly matches your colors above and the fingers are off the bottom. When I switch to PAL I think the suit and glove and skin and hair colors are closer to the original. And it's the full frame.

OK, a couple of tips...set the 'number of solutions' high, in the thousands or tens of thousands. This allows Rastaconverter many more attempts to get the conversion closer to the destination image. Images will take much longer to resolve, but will be much more representative of the destination image. 

 

Also, the higher the contrast the easier it is for Rastaconverter to choose from the limited color pallette between best color and shade when down grading the color depth from the 256 color palette of the destination image to the 128 color palette of the Atari's graphic mode Rastaconverter uses and limitations in color change and position (less horizontal line stripes throughout the image).

 

Don't be afraid to experiment with drastic changes in the color brightness, contrast and gamma levels and all other settings to see what happens and experience will allow refinement of control and best initial guess for setting on any given image. It's more a learned skill, nearly an art form in itself in finding the best settings for Rastaconverter to get the best results on any given image. I liken it to photography, back when everything was manual, pre-digital cameras, when a photographer had to have knowledge and skill and talent to get the right lighting conditions, proper lens choice and adept focusing skills, on to development of the film to make the best photos. The best (manual-analog) camera in the world will only produce pictures based on the skill and talent of the photographer.

Classic airmail postage. Any stamp collectors out there?

 

Colors match up with the original image better on the NTSC version. Also, the aspect ratio was intended to match NTSC; so the PAL version is a bit squished.
