To do this you need an Amiga (2000 would be better but a 500 would work) A video digitizer such as LIVE or FRAMEGRABBER, A video Camera or camcorder, and Photon Paint. You use the camera to grab pictures and store them on disk in 4096 colors (resolution is 320 x 400 or 320 x 200). You use Photon Paint to manipulate the images. You can digitize a bunch of Hair-Styles and save them as brushes (bits of pictures that can be inserted later into another drawing). Then digitize your subject and call up Photon Paint again. erase their hair, insert the brush of the Hair-style of your choice and paste it onto the subject picture. You can also stretch the pictures, tint, and shade (usefull for adding different color makeup if you wish, or changing hair color) With a good color printer, you can even make a hard copy for your customer. The prices are (ball park figures) Amiga 2000: $1500 or Amiga 500: $500 LIVE: $300 FrameGrabber: $500 Photon Paint: $60 Camera: [see an electronics store] -- John Sparks // Amiga | {rutgers|uunet}!ukma!corpane!sparks \X/ UUCP | >> call D.I.S.K. @ 502/968-5401 thru 5406 << 186,000 miles per second: it's not just a good idea, it's the law.
