Damn, I'm still waiting for a version of Deluxe Paint that works with HAM! I mean, Deluxe Paint III workns on an A3000, has animation and colour cycling, tools for perspective, 64 colour modes but still doesn't support HAM!

It never crashes on me! I especially like the Posters program. I've done sinfle page posters up to 5page x 5page size with no problems. I've heard of others doing wall size (8'x8') with not problems (other then using hugh amounts of ink). I don't know what Ottmars problem's could have been caused by. For the record I have 5megs on a 68k A2000. And I thought DPaint was non-HAM? My gripe is why has EA abandoned any upgrades or enhancements to Deluxe PhotoLab? I would like to see the Paint program enhanced to give better brush tools, among other things. I'm dreaming now, but I'd really like to see Deluxe PhotoLab Prof. strictly for 24bit!!!!

From >my point of view it can never be a substitute for DPaint HAM... Odd. Maybe you have a different version? I've never had any of the photolab programs crash on me, even when I've asked them to do absurd things. They may take up a lot of CPU time before deciding they can't do that though. I multi-task a lot, running UUCP and other software in the background all the time, and Photolab has never brought the system down. >Ottmar >= >AtelierRoehrig, Ottmar Roehrig, Hamburg, Germany > UUCP: ...!cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmger!ajberl!ottmar > > "42" (Deep Thought, some million years ago) -- | ben@epmooch.UUCP (Ben Mesander) | "Cash is more important than | | ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu | your mother." - Al Shugart, | | !chinet!uokmax!servalan!epmooch!ben | CEO, Seagate Technologies |
