Simple dither tool (freeImage frontend)

[Myicq 20]

So, this is my first try posting here, and first time to use a DLL like this. Hope I do it right (admins: please correct this topic if not..)

I made this small tool to convert full-color pictures into 2bit B/W BMP (since I need this type for something work-related). The tool can convert and scale to custom size (height selected, scales proportionally). For work reasons, default settings can be integers of 300, but also user-selectable.

There are some issues, f.ex selecting a different image will not make it appear right.

So, have a go at it. If you wish to improve this, please do so and paste the result here..

Tools needed for this:

• FreeImage DLL, get it at http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/download.html
• freeimage UDF by Prog@ndy.get it at http://progandy.de/downloads/viewdownload/3-autoit-udfs/7-freeimage-library

  @ Prog@ndy: I can not thank you enough for your work on this UDF !

Any feedback / suggestions / comments welcomed!

My own ideas for to-do on this:

• Overcome need to dither twice.. need to study FreeImage better.
• Option for brightness / gamma etc (slider)
• change preview between original and result.. or perhaps both ?
• ability to run as command line screen (in BAT / CMD files)

just some...
