Hmmm...well, I'm assuming that anything over 320x200/400 is considered Dyna-HAM. The images I was talking about are from (I believe) FishDisk 196 and are 384x480. >At the 320 x 200/400 resolution, DynaHam works more like Sliced-HAM >(it just recalculates the color registers every scan line), so I am >wondering if after you loaded in the EHAM picture, then saved it, >might it not have converted it back to a normal HAM picture? at >low resolution you would not have noticed the difference, except for >a bit of fringing in normal ham modem, since Normal HAM and DynaHam have >the same ammount of colors. Nope, it didn't do anything to the size or resolution...they were still overscanned and I could still scroll the pictures in all 4 directions to see the corners.....I don't know exactly what happened, but since there wasn't a change in the image, my guess was that a HUNK structure or header of some sort was added to the saved file(s). >What you could try for me would be to print out a Hi-res DynaHam picture >(640 x 400 x 4096 colors). Sure...I'll give it a try....I got some new Dyna-HAMs over the weekend and I'll give it a shot. >Or am I mistaken and you *were* talking about printing out 640 X 400? Specifically the images I am referring to were HAM overscan images with a resolution of 384x480. They were of a Honda Motorcycle, an F18, a white and green jaguar at the starting pole, and a red Porsche 930 at an Auto show, if those descriptions help you at all. >-- >John Sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps.
