Michael, Hire and fire if you must, but you guys need to get some programmers in there that *want* to do a little bit of ground breaking when it comes to graphics development. PageStream 3.0 will not be accepted in the industry if it does not support more than 256 colors. I hate to say it, but it's true. Also, I would highly suggest that you seriously change your color seperation techniques to match what service bureaus require for proper output. Every ad I made for Amazing Computing and/or AmigaWorld using PageStream (2.0 thru the latest) has been color shifted by 30%. I talked to SoftLogic about it, and they blame the service bureau…. and of course the service bureau blames you guys. Either way, it resulted in ads that look terrible because of the color shifting AND because the inability to see what the ad looks like in color. Look at the latest AmigaWorld for our ad (for EMPLANT)… Quark Express… no manual.. 10 minutes.. perfect. I would love to see you guys burn Quark to the ground. 🙂 If you would like any help dealing with 3rd party video boards, please let me know. We support *every* video board on the market at low level, so we know them inside and out… Jim Drew, CEO – Utilities Unlimited Intl., Inc.
