Skymaker V2.57

How to use？ ...

Drag and drop a script (in "sample" folder) or image files onto SkyView.exe or Skymaker.exe ( equivalent to "Open" menu selection ),

then the Skymaker executes the script automatically. There are two .exe files with blue icons. Those are: (1) SkyView.exe (Previewer ver.) (2) Skymaker.exe (Console ver.).

Console ver. also supports drag-and-drop execution, and can be used for sequential processing of multiple files.

"CSkyView.exe" and "SkyEdit.exe" are in "debugger" folder.
If you use those files, first move those .exe files to the same folder with SkyView.exe.

Previewer (SkyView, CSkyView) supports key reaction and mouse reaction. The reaction for drag-and-dropped file can be defined with scripts.
(By default, [SPACE]/[ESC]/[S] (screen shot) keys are available.)

Script can automatically be executed if the file name is set to 'skymake.ini' or 'skywin.ini.'

Script samples are in "Sample" folder.

All the Skymaker functions are listed in "cmdliste.htm."

What is Skymaker？ ...

Skymaker is a programmable image processor controlled from command line and text scripts.

It will be surprising that Skymaker has no menu display nor menu control. All the Skymaker functions are intended to be controlled from text or keyboard, automatically, if necessary.
(Scripts can be created using NOTEPAD, etc.)
The scripts can be executed by drag-and-drop onto Skymaker executables.

Script supports inclusion of another script, and also supports IF statement, loop structure, and arithmetic expression and substitution.

Stacking of layer images can be expressed with tree structure (virtual layer function), and vector-mapping image mixing warrants minimum image degradation due to resampling of pixel images even though the images are rotated and magnified repeatedly in the scripts.

Software image processing of Skymaker warrants identical image output on various Windows (95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP) PCs.

Transparent BMP/PSD (composite/layer (Photoshop 2.0〜7.0, CS, CS2 (8 bit/ch)) and non-compressed AVI, and Susie Plug-in are supported for input image files.
For output image file format, transparent BMP/PSD (8 bit/ch) and non-compressed AVI are supported.
This archive set includes JPEG, LZH, and TGA plug-in.
TGA plug-in suports input of Truevision TARGA with transparency.
Plug-in for TIFF, GIF files can be obtained from Susie's Room (by Takechin), etc.

There are some versions of Skymaker executables, for example, CSkyView and SkyEdit for debug, SkyView for multi-task GUI, and Skymaker.exe for automatic BAT-file sequence processing. Any of SkyView, CSkyView, SkyEdit, and Skymaker.exe can be executed separately. You can select the one best for your objectives.
