Sigh, I really wished a program like Electronic Arts' Studio/8 was available for the Amiga. There are so many bitmap-paint programs around, but not one that uses vectors (ProDraw is not what I call a paint program) -- ---------------------------------------- Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.ccs.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ----------------------------------------

I use Aldus Freehand every day at work, it does the trick. I turn bitmap maps of the world into vectors so I can manipulate them , occasionally I'm asked to get some action from a bad photo (it's a daily I work in) and again, scanned image ---> vector (!!!) does the the trick, and I get a woodcut-like PS picture. I know they said it cannot be done - maybe they meant 'cannot be done in real-time witha low error rate and military-spec resolution'. Sometimes they mean that. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ido (The Id) Amin iddos@taurus.BITNET | | | +---------- Is the virtual memory of a unicorn a physical device? ------+
