Worth to mention the PETSCII, as a standard gfx format accross Commodores.
BUT with extra colors Plus/4 has the PETSCII art may step to a higher level.
The CBM Program Studio has a great toolset to create title screens or PETSCII art (though it still does not support extended color mode).
It can directly covert it into Assembler (or BASIC lines  ) you can integrate into your program. It is real fun to work with.

Native: well, Botticelli and Multi Botticelli are mostly it. The format is pretty simple, exactly what you would have in memory on the real machine (from $1800-$3F40):
- luminance map (40*25 = 1000 bytes, padded to 1024)
- color map (40*25 = 1000 bytes, padded to 1024)
- bitmap (40*8*25 = 8000 or $1F40)
For the PC: check out carrion's blog for some cool PhotoShop stuff. AFAIK Chronos does draw with tablet -> PhotoShop -> p4fliconv -> Multi Botticelli. For wiring pics from PC to Plus/4, almost everyone uses p4fliconv, which is part of plus4emu. (I have my own PC drawing program called Csabo's Gfx Edit, but almost no-one uses it besides me.)
Hopefully this is enough to get you started, let me know if you have more questions.

| gfx tools + graphic file formats
Hi!
What are the major Plussy gfx tools for bitmap gfx (native+PC windows) ? (I have read about Botticelli....)
And where can I find documentation about their graphic file formats ?
Thanks
