Hi All.
I decided revisit the Photo Tiger report today because an OS/2 user called Bill sent me a email last Friday asking about this soft. I downloaded it from Norloff's last year and I'm informed that Thomas Bradford was included it in BMT Micro's OS/2 applications list. To jump Norloff's point your browser at:

Here is Bill's email:

I just purchased a digital Camera and was looking for software to edit
my pictures. I saw a reference to a review of Photo Tiger that was
supposed to be located on your site. After 1 hour of searching your
great site, I was unable to find it. Where is it?
Do you have any recommendations on any other software that I might
consider?

Well, if Bill is the real name or not for me is not important. I consider significant the fact that an OS/2 user is seeking for OS/2 applications in these days when some people are saying that OS/2 is deceased and buried. For me the Bill's interest is the proof that OS/2 is alive eternally for authentic OS/2 users, as Harley Davidson bikes are alive in all the World despite the Ninjas advent from Kawasaki.

HERE IS THE REQUESTED REPORT
(November 16, 1998)

Photo Tiger Arrived!!!

Great news! OS/2 have a new program for editing digital photos and pictures: Photo Tiger! The author, Michael Moegn, just uploads the final release on Pete Norloff's BBS. I, @Macarlo, registered user of 210 OS/2 programs and subscriber of Norloff's, just downloads the file (PHOTO103.ZIP, 1,145MB). I tested Photo Tiger and now I'm running it just fine om my Warp 4.0, embedded with Larsen Commander, my default file manager.

To run PhotoTiger you need a PC with OS/2 Warp
Graphics: Required: 8 bit Color (16 bit recommended)
Required resolution 800*600 pixel (1280*1024 recommended)
Memory: Required: 32MB RAM (64MB recommended)
And a lot of free swapspace on the harddisk.
CPU: Required: 386 (586 recommended)

PhotoTiger supports 1, 8, and 24 bit pictures. PhotoTiger can load and
save pictures in the following file formats:
- BMP (1, 8, 24 bit)
- JPEG (8, 24 bit)
- IMG (1 bit)

Most of the tools and actions in PhotoTiger need 8 bit gray or 24 bit color pictures. If you want to edit a 1 bit or a 8 bit color picture, PhotoTiger has to convert it.

To run PhotoTiger, you only need the file PHOTO103.EXE. You can copy the program file on your harddisk wherever you want. PhotoTiger writes a configuration file an your harddisk. In this file all parameters of PhotoTiger will be saved. The configuration file is saved in the same folder in which the program file lays.
If this folder is write protected, the configuration file can not be saved. In this case, you can give PhotoTiger an alternative configuration folder in a start parameter:
-CONFIGPATH pathOfTheAlternativeConfigFolder
Example: PHOTO103.EXE -CONFIGPATH d:\tmp

If you want PhotoTiger to load a picture automatically after the program start, you can give PhotoTiger the path of the picture in a start parameter:
Example: PHOTO103.EXE e:\pictures\tiger.bmp

PhotoTiger supports two languages: German and English. At the first start
of PhotoTiger, you will be asked which language you want to use. Your
choice will be saved in the configuration file. If you want to change the
language of PhotoTiger, you can set the language in the Settings Dialog.
An other way to change the language is to specify the language in a
start parameter:
Start parameter for using German language:
-DEUTSCH
Start parameter for using English language:
-ENGLISH
