It converts digital photographs (.bmp or .jpg) to MCP images using .mcp filters. The resulting image is always saved as a bitmap (.bmp) together with a data file (.dat).

MCP has a completely new function called 'Tone Control'. The sliders (R, G, and B) allow the user to adjust the colour depth on any opened picture. You can adjust each colour (RGB) separately or adjust the brightness by adjusting each slider to the same position. This function allows the user to adjust the colour depth and brightness of pictures that may need fine alterations or colour adjustments. This is quite often the case with still photographs.

Adjusting the brightness/colour prior to applying an MCP filter is a big advantage for poorly defined pictures, giving much better definition to the end result.
