Forrest Picture is a picture drawn by Mr. Lous girlfriend, and is a demonstration on how to use the graphic abilities of the CPC.
The picture uses mode 1 of the CPC. The graphic mode is limited to 4 simultanious colors. After publication the picture became the subject on how to break the 4 colour limit in mode 1 using rasters. Subsequent T&J wrote a small program showing how the picture would look like using rasters generated by the gate array.
