Have you ever tried to paint in Excel?

Have you tried?

Have a look @ these screen shots!

The man John Walkenbach and my good friend Colo

NZ Scenery

OK, I bet you are thinking that these are just inserted Images!!

Have a look @ this screen shot which displays the eye of the first picture above (also below). What you are seeing is just like a news paper image ie blocks of different coloured parts that collectively make up an image when viewed at different zoom levels. This is how the images were done. Based around 24Bit code by Gijs ter Beek . Credit & Thanks to gijs ter Beek.

Woman's eye @ zoom of 75 in Excel

Yes, they were generated with the Excel program below!!

Sorry, for the delay, but I think you will find it is worth it......

you can now download the program here.

NB: The file is zipped @ 1meg, but this is because I have left the hex dumps and some explanations of the BMP formats i.e. tried to show how it is done. The code is unprotected as is all my files....this is so that you can use some of the routines, or perhaps enhance it.

Download now

Yes, I've created a gallery of images that I converted........................

XL Gallery

American Idol (Don't laugh)

The XL File is now available !!! see further down

The file currently converts Bmp (24Bit & 256), Gif, jpg, jpeg

So what do some people think of this ?? have a look here

Non Programers :-) LOL you can't please every one !!! espicailly people who don't program. View the forum, you may find it useful ?

Update Nov 2006: Try this in XL 2007 ! You will be amazed @ the quality due to the number of extra colours this version allows.

I will try and amend for the extra columns allowed.

Painting in Excel is a really cool feature, especially when you have a PDF to Excel converter. You can take a picture in PDF form and through PDF conversion software, create a picture! Converting a PDF to Excel is easy, so next time you have to buy software, think about a PDF converter.
