Hi out there in Amiga land! My real name is Mark,Ed's son. I've had an Amiga 2000 all of my known computing days,but just recently my dad's company switched to IBMs(clones). I think the Amiga really had a chance(and I know it still does being bought like it was) but…
#48542-Framestore to IBM
Message #48548
John, As far as I know PhotoShop won't recognize Toaster Framestore format images, but it will read/write Amiga IFF24 if you got the plug-in. Theres also some new s/w available for the Amiga that can handle PS file formats. That may be the way to go. ….John

I've downloaded PROKER.LHA and de-archived it. Has anyone any idea how I can get it to run? When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated. Peter Hill flying Tornado on AutoPilot over English Lakes

Message #48542
The problem with most IBM people is that as soon as you mention something other than IBM, especially Amiga, they tend to glaze over and go into convulsions:) I think I will have to find a book about Photo Shop and see if it mentions anything about FrameStore. That's cause…

Bryan, I use LW 3.5 with VLab-M and have had Great results. I've been rendering 640×240 square pixels and loading these as fields after conversion to JPEG with ProControl/ADPro. You could do some pretty cool 3D logo stuff very easy with the right plug-ins for LW. ….John

I would like to know if Lightwave is a recommended software for VLAB-M users. I presently have Image FX and TV paint which comes with the RETINA, and DPAINT 4. Will lightwave offer me much more than I have already? What version is know available for the Amiga? thanks Bryan

is there a picture viewer that can read most formats (all iff/ilbm, and maybe gifs) that will display in its own window,(sizeable?), on a a500 with OCS and 2.04. i want to view pictures from amigaguides that will be visible while the guide is still on screen. shaun

Charles, PMFJI, but I asked the same question about the dms file extension a couple days ago. dms goes with a utility that compresses an entire disk. It's called Disk Masher. Amigauser Library 14 (Archivers), DMS201.SFX, has it as a self-extracting archive. Decompress by bringing up a shell, CD to…

Hi Rich, For your anim conversions, check out MainActor v1.55. It's here in the Amiga libraries. I've converted to FLI/FLC but have been unable yet to convert to AVI although it's supposed to do it. Possibly the anim I tried was not the correct resolution. They also have a commercial…

Michael, .mod-files are Amiga-special music-files. You can play them with many players that you can find in Audio/Midi-Utils library of AmigaArts. If you want to edit some mods, you will need a program like Sound- or Noisetracker, but the best mod-editing program for me is OctaMed. But – the most…
