I have some old slideshow disks from the FF collection with some really nice images on them. I was printing out some of these old amiga images (DIRESTRAITS, BLOOM, AKIRA (I think that's right), etc.) with my Okimate 20 to put the printer through its paces. (It does a fantastic job, BTW) I loaded up my Photon Paint 1.0 after setting the Preferences printer options to the Okimate 20 with color correction on R, G, and b. Then I started loading in images and "PRINTING" them. Well, I got to one disk which had some digitized tigers, the SASHA image, the PENCIL image, and others on it and, when I tried to LOAD them into PP, I got a requester stating "unable to load file" or some such message. Well, I looked at the disk and the "viewer" for these images is ShowILBM or ViewILBM (I do not recall which). Is there something about ILBM images which are different than PP images (IFF, I assume)? Is there any way to "convert" these images to a PP compatible mode??? Are there any Paint programs or PD programs which will allow me to print these images?? (I know that the viewILBM may have a time setting on it for the image to stay on screen for a while, but these images take upwards of 15 minutes to print!). Any help would be appreciated.
