Please reply to > me directly. Thanks. I have used Digital Darkroom to do this; it reads and writes TIFF, Macpaint, and PICT files with no problem. As I understand it, the new version of DD will also colorize. I also have used PixelPaint, which will read and write Macpaint, PICT, PICT2, EPSF and TIFF files. It sounds like this is what you are looking for. _________________________________________________________________________ Dave Hightower | opinion?

You can open a TIFF file (as long as it has the file type "TIFF", you may have to change it with ResEdit or similar), then save it in Canvas format, or PICT, and possibly one or two other formats, I can't remember. The latest version is 2.1 (as far as I know, can anyone confirm that?), but I haven't seen it yet, we here at the end of the Earth are still stuck with version 2.0, worse luck :-( Give me a yell it you have any further problems.

The most current version of Canvas is 3.0 (don't know if it's out yet). I use Adobe Photoshop to convert images from one format to another. It might be an overkill but it works very well and you have a lot of control over the image just in case you want to clean it up before you convert it. Another good one is GIFConverter and it's shareware (unlike Photoshop where you have to take out a loan) 8^) Tony Chi tchi@usc.edu

Canvas 3.0 is not out yet; I called Deneba today to order it, and they tell me that it will not be shipping until the second quarter of 91 (second quarter == June??). They have four upgrade paths: 1) if you purchased Canvas 2.1 recently, (I think > Jan 91) there will be a free upgrade; 2) if you purchased 2.1 earlier, there will be a $99 upgrade; 3) if you have an earlier version of Canvas, the upgrade is $129; 4) and finally, if you own MacDraw II, they will trade you (you send in the program disk) for $149. The full retail price is going to be around $399. I've seen 3.0 working, and I've read the reviews on it--it looks to be a pretty pwerful program. Obviously, I am on the list to upgrade. _________________________________________________________________________ Dave Hightower | opinion?

It also had a summary on the back of the differences between the graphic formats, 8-bit, and 24-bit, etc. More than most would want to know. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dave =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
