TIFF translation
David Pilling has taken the TIFF loader from Ovation Pro for Windows and turned it into a Transloader for RISC OS. This means that applications such as Ovation, Impression and ArtWorks can benefit from loading TIFF images directly. Unlike TransFSI supplied with Ovation Pro, this new loader can handle CMYK TIFFs.
