\fIpilot\-read\-palmpix\fR allows a Kodak PalmPix camera user to extract the images from their Palm handheld and convert them to Portable Network Graphic (\&.png) or Portable Pixmap (\&.ppm) files on their system\&. The default output type is Portable Pixmap (\&.ppm)\&.

Do a simple colour correction\&. The colour correction code makes a histogram from the image\&. Using the histogram it then makes up a couple of colour tables to try and balance the colours\&. It also clips the top and bottom colours to produce better perceived contrast\&.

|
|
|
.PP
|
|
If a filelist is not given, connects to the target Palm handheld, and reads the images found in the Kodak PalmPix image database (\fIArchImage\&.pdb\fR), and allows the user to view the list of images and image details, or to select one or all of them, and convert them to Portable Network Graphic (\&.png) or Portable Pixmap (\&.ppm) files to be viewed or printed at the desktop\&.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
If no options are specified, all of the images on the device will be converted to ppm files by default\&.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
If a filelist is given, convert all listed files previously fetched via pilot\-xfer\&. See \fIBUGS\fR \- a single file argument is ignored, a list will work\&.

\fIpilot\-read\-palmpix\fR's colour correction is nearly as good as Kodak's own, but Kodak has deprecated the PalmPix device, so it is not likely that there will be any updates to their software in the future, so this may be as good as it gets\&. A simple method to improve the look of colours is to do a histogram equalization in your favourite image editor\&.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIpilot\-read\-palmpix\fR command DOES read from a file, but only if you specify a LIST of files\&. If only one file is given, the command tries reading from \fI$PILOTPORT\fR\&.

We have an online bug tracker\&. Using this is the only way to ensure that your bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are resolved or closed\&. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is not very useful in terms of accountability\&. Please point your browser to http://bugs\&.pilot\-link\&.org: \fIhttp://bugs.pilot-link.org\fR and report your bugs and issues there\&.
