Hello. I know that everyone is tired of reading reviews of DCTV, but could someone please tell me how DCTV runs at 7MHz? I am almost ready to buy one, but I'm wondering if I'm going to have to wait an hour for results. I've never seen DCTV run at slower than 25MHz, so perhaps a Stock 500 would be slower than a snail crawling across fly-paper! I'd like times for reading a raw, hi-res 24-bit pic from HD. cutting out & resizing a brush. ADVthanksANCE!

I found the performance on my unaccelerated A2000 to be acceptable. It is not as good as an accelerated A2000 or an A3000, but it was okay. I read in DCTV images in about 30 secs to 1 minute. It took a little while for it to set up the image. There were some image processing things going on. In DCPaint, most things happened in a reasonable time. The airbrush was a little slow, especially if you chose a large brush and made it very transparent. But, I was able to get used to it and it didn't bother me too much after a while. One reason I did get an A3000 was to get better response on the brushes. You will need at least 3 megs. I know it will run on less, but it will limit you a lot to use less than 3 megs. I bought DCTV based on what I saw in performance on a stock A2000. Since I bought it, I was disappointed that the stencil was only 1 bit, on or off. I hope this improves on the next release of the software. neil -- Only 3126 shopping days left till the next millenium! Neil F. Richmond INTERNET: celia!neil@usc.edu Rhythm & Hues Inc.
