- @PulkoMandy,
RGB derives from the square root of photon flux, so a general formula must take that into account. For example, mix = sqrt(0.5 * A^2 + 0.5 * B^2), where A and B are the values of the RGB channels to mix. But this would be for a pure theoretical mixture, not the mixture produced by switching frames, so what I did was a formula based on testing/error comparison.
To not mess this, I have sent you the code in a private message of CPCWIKI.
Another option is to have the resulting colors in a table (27x27), taken from PCT files generated by the paint tool.
About the DI logo, I think there is something wrong in the palette colors calculation (or the order). Notice how the color gradients of the brightness in your screenshot are not smooth and linear. You can compare it to the gfx loaded from the paint tool on the CPC, or the DI screenshot in the manual.

- @PulkoMandy, Awesome! Thanks for the great support!
Two things about the screenshots:
DI logo colors (mode B1) seem corrupted.
Mixed colors on Street Fighter screen seems a little darker. If you're using the average of the RGB values to calculate the mixture, note that it is not a very accurate method, the real mix tends to the lighter color.

- @Beb, Ok, a warning message from the converter in that case would be a good thing.

If what you can not move is the pointer, you might have to redefine controls. - isokadded on the 2016-07-18 18:56:50

- @PulkoMandy Great!
This is the .pph file description:
* (byte) mode (3 = mode R, 4 = mode B0, 5 = mode B1)
* (short) screen width
* (short) screen height
* (byte) n palettes (1-34)
* (4/16 bytes) first palette colors in Basic numbering format (4 bytes for mode B1, 16 bytes for mode B0/R)
+ for mode B1 with rasters only (repeated until n palettes):
* (byte) n lines for first palette
* (3 bytes) second palette colors
...
.odd/eve files are raw gfx data in linear format (one line below the other), in mode 0 pixelformat for B0 and R, and mode 1 for B1.

It's strange. Anyway I uploaded a new version warning if there are memory conflicts with some rom, maybe that's the problem. Otherwise, you should be able to move with cursor or the keys you defined for that.

- Perfect Pix is a set of graphic tools for Amstrad CPC with 3 extended video modes to get images of an unusual quality on a 8-bit machine:
* Mode R -> Up to 384x272 pixels and 16 freely selectable colors from a palette of 27.
* Mode B0 -> Up to 192x272 pixels and 136 colors from a palette of 378.
* Mode B1 -> Up to 384x272 pixels and 307 colors, divided into color 0 + up to 34 palettes of 9 colors per line.
You must run the tool on real hardware to see the true visual result. - isokadded on the 2016-07-16 14:10:28

- Great work and effort! Almost all content is surprising, although it is need to know the limitations of the CPC to understand the merit of some parts.
A slightly more classic than my favorite style, but that was already known. Since the project was raised, I was afraid that the mix of the styles of the authors could be a problem, but the overall result has been pretty good!
C64 users can continue to envying our colorful platform for 30 years more :)

Thanks for the video!
Btw, if you use WinAPE, deactivating the option General / Fast Disc Emulation avoids the music pauses while loading.
