This is my first posting, so ... I am presently engaged in research (as a grad student) which will involve image processing. With the capabilities of the ST which I own, I am looking into porting a program from the realm of the PC's and clones. My problem arises when I want (need !!!) more than sixteen colors to display the images in. I have heard that displaying 512 colors is a fairly straight-forward piece of programming involving interrupting the raster scans of each line to change the pallete. Unfortunately, I have only limited programming experience. Surely someone out there can provide me with the source code (or interrupt calls in C) to accomplish this task. Also, I am not clear what resolution this would be working at and would need this as well. Spectrum 512 software* would be fine (or Quantum Paintbox with 4096 colors) would be great if only I could use the palletes for my program. Please, anyone, e-mail me a way to do this or where I can get software that is PD/SW/comm to do this, my research and dissertation would be eternally grateful. * I am not affiliated in any way with these fine products, except as someone who has seen these programs in action for a short time. P.S. From what I hear, the Elmtech board would be perfect except for the $$ Any more info, though??? Warren J.
