Hello, I am looking for a professional graphics package that can do the following things: 1) receive images from a color scanner 2) able to magify or resize the image in the x or y direction 3) impose a grid ( or a user defined dimesion0 on top of the picture. 4) Be able to print the result back to a plotter or color printer. I do not if I am asking too much but my application is automize the process of copying small pictures (color ones) into a gridded larger one in order to define a pattern for a weaving machine. I need suggestions to a complete system: color scanner, color copier or plotter, and the software package. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

It's amazing to watch a 300dpi image being scrolled thru and magnified in real time on the screen. The hardwade is a Sharp color scanner with a Commodore Amiga, which has excellent color output support. ASDG can be reached at 925 Stewart St., Madison WI 53713, or call 1-608-273-6585...
