Well lets see - clut is probably colour lookup table, in other words
indexed or pallette colour. I would guess that 7 and 8 are the number
of bits used to index the table, giving 128 or 256 entries. That would
mean each pixel fits in a byte. So to convert a PPM to one of these,
you need to quantize down to 128 or 256 colours. Various utilities -
URT, the JPEG stuff, and PBM+ for example - will let you do this.

You will need to find out how many bits you get for each clut entry.

dyuv - erm - possibly something to do with TV yuv encoding. It is just
possible that the d means differential, in other words each pixel
stores the change from the previous pixel. Then again I could be and
probably am way off on this one...

rgb 5:5:5 is clear enough - a true colour image with 5 bits each for
r,g and b - like 24 bit images have 8 bits each. So you need to round
off the 8 bit values to 5 bits or (quicker and less accurate) truncate
them to 5 bits by shifting.

Depending on how many colours are in the image and how many bits are
used in the clut modes, this could be better or worse than clut-8. For
example an image with lots (well, more than 256) of different colours
will likely be better in this rgb555 mode which can contain (32 =
2**5)*32*32 colours - 32768.

An image with fewer than 256 colours could look better in clut mode if
the clut entries are more than 15 bits wide.

rl 3/7 no idea - run length encoding of some sort?

Hope this is some help, anyway.

I posted a picture to a.b.p.m called B24-nose.jpg.  If one looks closely
at this picture
you can see where the artwork was painted over rivets.  What is the best way to remove
them.  I have used Microsoft Paintbrush to copy a small region from near each rivet
onto the rivet to mask it.  Is there a better way?  Bear in mind that this image
will be made into a decal about 4 inches square.

The second thing that I have to do to this picture is to selectively colorize it to
add the flesh tones where appropriate (the model is wearing a white bathing suit that
must remain white).  I have used pgmtoppm to colorize the entire image quite
successfully.  I get the effect I want where the flesh color is "painted" on and
modified by the grayscale image.  Is there a better way to selectively colorize than
to create a series of completely black or white masks for each portion of the
image and use pgmtoppm to colorize some of them 
and then use ppmarith to reassemble the image?

I just renamed my driver (WD) as the ATI driver and left the .INI

Hi pix-land,

I need to convert some .ppm format pictures to any format
which can be used for CD-I. The formats supported are

	clut-7
	clut-8
	dyuv
	rgb 5:5:5 
	rl 3/7

To be honest, I thought I knew already about a lot of graphics formats
however, these are all new to me. Also PBMPLUS couldn't help me
out. Therefore my request to net-land is if anybody has a utility
that can generate one or more of these formats.          

The specifications of these formats would also be handy, because
then I will write the converter myself. And ofcourse you can find
it then in a while posted overhere.

Please, please, help me ...

As far as I know, xv DOES support .xbm files!!
I just finished viewing a couple of hundred .xbm files with xv. The only
problem is that xv is a little picky about what is a valid .xbm file: No
comments are allowed, etc.

It would be nice if somebody had a patch to make xv less picky.
