                   a professional colourscaling plugin
           by namesuppressed - http://www.namesuppressed.com/



a b o u t   t h e   p l u g i n

Autochromatic is "a greyscaler with a difference".  Instead of limiting
you to shades of grey, with Autochromatic you can scale between any two
colours you choose.  It's great as a special effect, but also has many
practical uses, especially in web design.

Autochromatic features a clear and professional user interface that is far
more advanced than any Filter Factory plugin.  It even comes with built-in
presets to get you started.  Best of all, it's fully-functional shareware
at a low low price!


i n s t a l l i n g   t h e   p l u g i n

To use this plugin, copy the autochrm.8bf file to the plugins folder of
your paint program (eg Photoshop).  When you restart your program, the
plugin should be listed in your Plug-in Filters menu under the category
"namesuppressed".

Note: If you have difficulties running the plugin you may need to ensure
you have the latest versions of MSVCRT.DLL and COMCTL32.DLL installed on
your computer (they are found in the Windows\System directory).  These
files are freely available on the Internet.


s y s t e m   r e q u i r e m e n t s

In order to use the plugin, you will need a PC with an Adobe plug-in
compatible paint program such as Adobe Photoshop or Jasc Paint Shop Pro.
This plugin will not run on Macintosh or Unix based systems.

This plugin is "shareware".  You are free to share it with your friends,
as long as you copy the original zip file it came in and don't modify it.
For more details on this read the Contact/Copyright section below.

You may use this plugin for a trial period until you determine whether
you wish to keep the plugin or not.  If you decide to keep it, you must
"register" your copy - this involves paying a registration fee to the
program's author.  When you register, you will receive a special code that
will disable the plugin's annoying reminder messages.  You can register
online at http://www.namesuppressed.com/

Why did I decide to release this plugin as shareware?  It takes a lot of
time to make these plugins and it costs a lot of money to keep my website
online.  Without the website, I can't offer my freeware and shareware
plugins to the public.  It's only fair that I receive some compensation
for my efforts, and the registration fees will help me to continue making
these plugins available to everyone.
