• Great C64 Art from 1980s: Koala Painter and Doodle Image Formats

    From Lawrence Woodman@3:770/3 to All on Sat Sep 26 07:11:03 2020
    Hello,

    I've been looking at the C64 pictures contained on the Walnut Creek CD
    and was quite surprised at how good some of the pictures were for the
    1980s. I'm used to great C64 art, but associate the quality of some of
    these with a later time period.

    The pictures I was looking at were in either Koala Painter or Doodle
    format and I was wondering if there were other tools that exported to
    these formats? I assume this to be true for Doodle because some of them
    are scans or video captures, but couldn't find any. I'm particularly interested in whether some of the pictures could have been created on an
    Amiga or other system and saved to one of these formats for display on
    the C64.

    If anyone is interested, the pictures can be seen here:

    Thanks! Some classic ones in there and some I've never seen before.
