[comp.sys.amiga] paint programs

Umm.  Does anyone know when the next batch of paint programs are out? That is,
Deluxe Paint IV, Digi Paint IV, Photon Paint III, etc.  Also Does I've wondered
how close the feature of being able to put in a light source and then "pseudo
ray trace" of Photon Paint is to real ray tracing.  
Also, I've noted that qrt is available at cs.uoregon.edu (anonymous ftp), but
there apprears to be only source code, without any hint of how to compile it. 
I don't know how I'll eer be able to get all the dependencies .... I don't have
a mkmf. (Is there one for the amiga?).  So are there any other PD ray tracing
programs available out there? In the fish disks? At any anonymous ftp site? 

One last thing ... is there any easy way to find out what HD you have, without
ripping up the computer, that is? (I bought a 2000HD in Dec, and my even 
though I didn't get any indication of having a 2091 inside, the HD seems to 
perform very well under all conditions, even under overscan - there is hardly
any detioration in diskperf or any other bench test.... - and the 2090A 
seemed to be rather notorious in performing under overscan, due to DMA 
contention problems ...)

By the way, is the only difference between the fatter agnus and the fat agnus
in the 1 MB and 512 KB chip ram?

I had to creat a spcific Banner that was 4x1 pages continuously.  I have not 
read they WHOLE manual, and have not read the part about not being able to 
take on really large screens. ( i want 1280x200)  Well I THOUGHT I was in 
1280x200 when i really wasn't and the didn't notice till I was done with the 
first draft.  It was really 1028x220 or something goofy like that.  Soooo I 
thought a little bit and tried something.  I went to a friend who had Deluxe 
PhotoLab and created a Blank file 1280x200.  I then put it on floppy, took it 
home and used it in Dpaint with NO PROBLEMS, except that the coords don't 
understand #'s over 1000.  Oh, and I'm using an A1000, and old one, no Super 
Agnus, no half-bright.   -jim-

	I need a program that can be usede  to edit picture files 
(digitized) and do such things as change colors, cut out parts and move
them (not rectangular shaped parts, arbitrary parts) etc..
I would like to (most probably need to) edit HAM pictures.  If you know
of any program that would be good for this please write me.  Even if it
doesnt fulfill all of these requirements, i want to know the pros and cons
of some various programs, so just send me a little note describing your
favorite program, and that would be fine too... thanx..
