What is special about the rasterfiles that snapshot reads and writes? They are certainly Sun rasterfiles, as indicated by the file command and the fact that I can manipulate them with other software that deals with Sun rasterfiles. However many rasterfiles that are created with software other than snapshot cannot be viewed with snapshot. It loads them uncomplainingly, but they show up all white. Can anyone explain? Are there utilities to convert an ordinary rasterfile to one that can be viewed with snapshot? A second, related, question. Can anyone suggest software to edit rasterfiles under OpenWindows. Under SunView I used touchup very happily. Is there something similar around for OpenWindows (or X in general)? Thanks for all help. -- Douglas N.
