Description: ZT Studio is a tool for viewing/manipulating the images of the original Zoo Tycoon (ZT1) game and its expansions (Dinosaur Digs + Marine Mania + nearly all official bonus content = Complete Collection), as well as converting new images to Zoo Tycoon's image format. Its most important features include:

• read/write all possible ZT1 Graphic formats (see the Wiki page at the above site)
• import from or export to a folder of .PNG-images (frame per frame OR in batch!) ( ZT1 Graphic <=> .PNG files )
• preview all graphics, including a way to preview variations (e.g., when you can choose the color of the roof in the game) and adding a background graphic (e.g., to see the Orangutan's play animation combined with the actual toy)
• rotation fixing (move graphic up, down, left, right) - immediately applied to all frames in a view, unless explicitly set otherwise
• reorder color palettes (necessary to create color customizable items, e.g., roof) or change a color in the palette

Note: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later is needed.

The source code was also released for Visual Basic programmers.
