What options are available re: scanning images and touching them up on the ST. A friend of mine is looking for the ST to do image manipulation. Is there a way of digitizing colour images and manipulate them as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, does anyone know of an ftp site where I can find STadel? If so, what filename can it be found under? Thanks. advTHANKSvance Pavneet Arora ...!utgpu!rom!pavneet Royal Ontario Museum 100 Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario M5S 2C6 (416) 586-5626

A friend of mine is looking for the ST to >do image manipulation. Is there a way of digitizing colour >images and manipulate them as well? I have Color Computereyes. Color Computereyes, by itself, can digitize a color composite video signal and save it as a Degas, Neochrome or raw data image. Since no tools that I know of can process the raw data image, we can ignore that. Any number of drawing programs for the ST can read Degas and Neochrome images, so you can use any of them to "touch up" Computereyes images. If you purchase Digispec in addition to Color Computereyes, you can have your digitized images rendered as Spectrum (512 colors per picture, 48 colors per line) images. If you also purchase the Spectrum 512 program from Antic Publishing, you can touch up your 512 color Spectrum digitized pictures. From personal experience let me say that Color Computereyes + Digispec + Spectrum 512 is a powerful combination. In fairness, I should point out that there are other digitizers for the ST which may have advantages over Computereyes, but since I don't have them I can't really comment on them. And, lastly, let me state that I have no financial stake in either the makers of Computereyes, Trio Engineering (makers of Digispec), nor Antic Publishing (publishers of Spectrum 512). Longish .signature follows. Skip now, or don't complain.
