Title: Slide Show
Year:  1993


While I was browsing through some old 5 ¼" discs I accidentally discovered this
slide show I once compiled. I didn't remember creating it and was pleasantly
surprised to find these images stored on one of these old discs.

Like all the other digitized images I converted to the CPC at that time these
were also scanned with a black and white scanner with 16 brightness levels. Then
I converted the images on my RiscPC and send them to the CPC through a serial
link between the RiscPC and the CPC. It was quite a tedious procedure and the
results weren't really great. I intended to improve the conversion program on
the RiscPC so that it would use more colors and probably some shading algorithms
to mix pixels of different colors to create a new color. I never found the time
or interest to do that though.

Anyway, most of these pictures come from the Castle Party 1 and the Castle Party
1a and some are from the HJT trip to the Euromeeting 2 in Reims, France in 1992.
Some pictures suffered from read errors and now have artefacts in them, but
that's not unusual for discs that were stored away for almost 10 years. I should
be happy that so many pictures survived all these years on these 40 tracks
discs. All of the XDDOS discs didn't make it...
