  12. 		<P align="left">CALAMARI is a diff/merge tool for images.&nbsp; It operates by 
  13. 			comparing corresponding pixels in two or more&nbsp;images, and presenting any 
  14. 			differences it finds to the user in a (hopefully) useful fashion.&nbsp; 
  15. 			CALAMARI is primarily intended to be used in conjunction with an SCM (software 
  16. 			configuration management) system such as Perforce, but it can also be used on 
  17. 			its own or with other tools.</P>
  18. 		<P align="left"><STRONG>What kinds of images can I use it with?</STRONG></P>
  19. 		<P align="left">CALAMARI will work with any images supported by Qt (see <U>http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/qimagereader.html#supportedImageFormats</U>), 
  20. 			but its diff/merge algorithm works best with groups of images that are of 
  21. 			identical dimensions and do not use lossy compression.&nbsp; Comparing 
  22. 			low-quality JPEGs will result in the diff containing a lot of "noise", and 
  23. 			comparing images that have changes in size or orientation will probably result 
  24. 			in the entire image being displayed as a diff.
