PALETTE CONVERTER

What is it?
Palette Converter is a tool with which the 256-color palette of 
VTWIN 4.02 can be converted into that of all the other versions 
(from 4.03 onwards).

How to install the tool
Copy the two files PaletteConverter.exe and RegKeys.sys into the 
main VTWIN folder. Click on the runnable file PaletteConverter.exe 
to open the tool.

What happens now
This tool makes it possible to resolve problems related to the conversion 
of the colors of a project realized with VTWIN version 4.02.
The above version uses a palette that is incompatible with all other 
versions. So, if you have a project created in this version, before
proceeding to update it with a more recent one, it is advisable to 
convert it with thgis tool in order to preserve the original colors of the
project. Using a special algorithm the tool recalculates the RGB color indices
present in the original project and compares them with those of the new
palette assigning the nearest equivalents to those of the original.
The resulting effect is practically identical with the original.
You can also decide whether or not to activate the dithering algorithm in order 
to get a better interpolation of the colors.
The new converted project is automatically saved with the same name and a copy 
of the original project is renamed as [nomeprogetto]_1.vts or [nomeprogetto]_1.vtn. 

!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!
It is advisable to convert the project only once because, although the tool does 
not limit the number of conversions and successive conversions may improve the 
images, the other graphic objects present will lose the correct references to colors.
