Today Paradize released a small tool for precalculating picture fading effects on STE. You can fade pictures to black, white, fade them back in and fade them to custom colors. The resulting fading can be saved as a block of ready-to-use step-by-step palettes saving you from the hazzle of reinventing the wheel by coding a yet-another fading routine.

Currently uncompressed DEGAS pictures and NEOCHROME pictures are supported.

The Fade Calculator always calculates STE fadings but the results are fully STFM compatible, only a bit rougher.

The tool works on Atari STFM/STE and Falcon 030 in ST-LOW and example sources in 68000 assembly and GFABASIC are included.
