Intermate i5, AS/400, iSeries manual Working with color images, BMP100D

Select the TIFF file you want to read into InterForm400® and specify the member into which you want to add the image, and which is referred to in an overlay definition. If you select an image with grey tones you will see a screen like this:

Load Image from Folder APF3812			IMG375D
Document name	. . . . :	171170.TIF
File type . .	. . . . :	TIFF Palette color compression 32773

Magnitude factor . . . .		2 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8

F3=Exit F4=Prompt F12=Cancel

InterForm400 will show you the size of the image in dots (300 equals an inch). If you intend to print the image larger it is a very good idea to enlarge it here. If you do so the grey areas will be presented as fine as possible in the final output.

The magnitude factor states how many times you want to enlarge the image. Using '2' will double the size.
