I am looking for ideas/hints/suggestions for equipment that can be used to capture low-resolution color images and support minor mods to the image and finally print the image. The basic system I have in mind would be a PC : - connected to a low-cost color video camera - capture the low-resolution image (256 x 256 x 8 would be sufficient) - have the image displayed on the PC monitor, allow for minor adjustments - print the image on a color printer (driven by video or a dump of pixel memory). And the entire system needs to be fairly inexpensive (cheap :-)) !! Please send e-mail to me, and I'll summarize for the group. Thanks. Curtis Keller uunet!ficc!keller (713)-274-5089

Colour would not be very simple (and therefore not quite inexpensive)! If You can live with B&W, try Steve Ciarcia's ImageWise Serial Digital Imaging System. It is available from Circuit Cellar Inc 4 Park St. Suite 12 Vernon, CT 06066 Prices: Digitizer/Transmitter DT01 (Full Kit) $249 Dispay/Receiver DR01 (Full Kit) $249 The DT01 grabs and digitizes a standard B&W picture into 256x256 dots with 6 bits of grey scale and transmits it over an RS232 line. The DR01 does the reverse. There are provisions to use a color camera, but, again, only B&W digitization.
