I agree with Frank. I know if you draw a rectangle filled red, save it as framestore and bring it back, save it few more times, ther's lot's of artifacting begin to show up, lok like black shaddows. a fill with red again seems to clear most of them up,…

Paul, thanks for the info. However, there are a couple fo repair shops in my area. But what i was hoping for to find one that has a good reputation. Oh, if it's broken, they can fix it. The problem is that sometimes the tech's are not real good familiar…

Chris, can I jump in here, please. I just received the new AdPro upgrade. Serial number was enclosed on a yellow piece of paper with a notice, but there was no registration card enclosed. Is the upgrade automatically registered, since I received the upgrade streight from ASDG? can you advise…

Hi, I was looking for some one it this forum from adpro to help me with my problem. I just installed adpro. trying to convert a toaster framestore to pc compatible like jepeg or pcx. save it on floppy via cross doss, to be able to use the file on…
Thanks Fred for the info. I was goingto do just that, connect both computers via nul cable to the serial ports. Both my ports are taken up, so I was trying to avoid connecting and disconnecting each time. I do have paint shop in windows, but it does not handle…
Thanks Nathan. Once i get it in the pc, from there there's no problem with transferring files. I have couple of alternatives. since the larger capacity floppy, 1.44 meg, I can then send away to get it transferred, or even leave it as iff24, and through compuserve e-mail to someone…
George, I just went through this ringer, trying to convert tpaint rgb files to pc. Not much luck. First of all, many of the files saved to rgb are to large for a floppy to handle, unless you have another removable media. I have a strong pc conversion program, it…

Hilary, welcome to the club. I have the identical problems. o.k. with toaster 2.0, but with toaster 4000 card and 3.0 software inside a 2000 amiga, every time i boot i have different problems. Try from cli the following: CD MONTAGE:/ STACK 30000 MONTAGE /S then click on montage/toaster crouton.…
If I can jump in on this myself please. Seems questions to convert files run in packs. What I need is to transfer toaster framestores to mac. However for the frequency of need, i would not be looking in my own setup, software etc. I'm looking for a service that…
Hillary, I also got the upgrade, toaster 4000 and 3.0 software in a2000 amiga. All installed fine. I found out that the new card just does not like b/b in to input 1. The hue is way out, no matter what i do. i'm running boths sources to inputs 1…

Thanks Frank. The way the question came accros, i understood that i have to specify which version of toaster i am using. Well, that's good news. All I need now is to get my little paws on the montage. I hope it's soon. I will not even get a good…
Hi Anthony. Currently i'm using toaster 2.0 in amiga 2000. I do not plan to upgrade the toaster. From what you are asking, i assume that there are two versions of montage now, for the 2.0 and 3.0 toaster. is that right? if that is so, and i should decide…
John, I would try adjusting the H phase on the tbc's first. I also have a horita csg 50 and find it is pretty acurate. Besides, adjusting the pahse on the horita could get tricky, were as the tbc's are relatively easy and also easy to go back to original…

Montage delivery
Message #30386
Nope, I'm also still waiting. Let's keep posted, and hope for a soon delivery. I heard something on cis here about the bug, but who knows. I hope they get their act together soon. george
Hi Frank, I wonder, since the signal is promised to be better through the montage, would it also be beneficial to have the toaster update for the 2000? From what i'm hearing it claims to have an improved signal also. Then again the montage may not be comatible with the…
Hilary, I spoke to inovision today. they told me that they will be shipping in 2-3 weeks. that's what i was told 3 weeks ago. something is holding it up. I don't mind paying the higher price tag if i can have the product directly upon release prior to mail…
Hope it does not take them too long. You know how it is when a new toy is on order? I WANT IT NOW!. Oh well, nothing we can do. george
Thanks Wayne. I hope they get this figured out. I'm sure they will, but it might take more time then they are claiming to ship now. Hope it will happen. thanks, george
Wayne, as I remember the flyier, over live video supposed to be part of it. Hell, it would not make sense to have a c.g. for stills only. I called them today to confirm that they got my check. They told me it should be shipping in 2-3 weeks. It's…
Wayne, i have montage on order and waiting, hopfully soon i will be able to take it myself for a spin. However, since you saw it working, how is it's performance over live video? would appreciate to hear anything you have. thanks, george
Jeff, I shoot in all depths, from shallow with ambient light to 130 ft and more. There I use lights. Heavy duty puppies giving me 3400K. As for still reef, well that depand on a shot. Sure, many shots the camera is still, the back ground is in one place…
Paul, I'm basically a computer idiot. I shoot video and edit. Loading up and sending images on cis, you must be kidding, i would not know where to begin. I freeze frame from video and save in rgb through the toaster. They look great. I even had some frame stores…
No Peter, I simply freeze frame with tbc from live video and save on disk through toaster in rgb. I shoot my own video underwater. Have good scenic, sharks, fish, divers, wrecks, invertabrates, octopus, eels, dolphins, you name it. Benn shooting for about 12 years video and 3 years film.…
Oh, wow! now I can have $800 gears. I'm just being sarcastic, but I would be interested what's in store in the upgrade for the switcher, paint, c.g. in toaster 3.0. I'm still not in to LW, so my interest is in the basic toaster. Any one of you have…
Jeff, i'm missing your point about loosing reality. would you explain. george
Shawn, I'm using a f/f and toaster, no problem. george
Yah, that's how polaroid cameras got started. I used to make part for them back in the late 60's. I was reading DR. Land's news letters. How do you think the name "land camera" got to be, after Dr. Land who invented it. Actually he "borrowed" the idea from Keaystone.…
