Hello, Pardon my ignorance, but perhaps somebody can help or direct me to help with Video toaster/cross platform graphics questions… At work we've got an Amiga 2500 running VT 2.0. Only stuff in it is the toaster and DPIV (so far…financial constraints). On the IBM side, we've got a modem and a scanner. I've had limited success with cross-dos getting scanned images into the Amiga. Have been using Graphics Workshop to convert pcx to iff, after using the scanner software to convert scan to pcx. We would like to be able to take scanned images into the toaster and get pxcx files from stuff grabbed with the toaster. Where should I learn about the different iff file types, what will work where, etc.? For file conversion, can this be done with shareware stuff, or would we be wasting our time by not getting AD PRO or IMAGE F/X? What's the best way to go? Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated. Lee Schwabe
