.CUT Files

[ColorSpaced]

I'm not finding any references to opening / converting .CUT files. I need to extract the dimensions from legacy .CUT files.
Any help is appreciated.

Also, is there an online manual for XnViewMP??
Thanks.

I assume that you already have .CUT files and you cannot open with XnView, isn't it?

It seems that it is rather easy to open them, according to http://www.fileformat.info/format/drhalo/egff.htm
An oddity is that usually it is accompanied from a PAL file which stores the color palette.

But if you want only the dimensions there are stored in the header of the file:

Code: Select all

typedef struct _HaloHeader
{
  WORD   Width;          /* 00h   Image Width in Pixels */
  WORD   Height;         /* 02h   Image Height in Scan Lines */
  WORD   Reserved;       /* 04h   Reserved Field (set to 0) */
} HALOHEAD;

So, if you just want the dimensions in pixels, you just need to read the first 4 bytes (two words) and group 2 by 2. The first 2 is the Width in pixels, the next 2 is the Height.

As per 'online manual' the best resource is/are these forums.

Also, perhaps you may want read these:
