I have recently begun to download ham pictures from the libraries. And as a result, I have become interested in the digitizing process. I would like to get into it as a hobby, but I don't know where to start, or what kind of a setup is required. My current setup consists of, an A/500 w/1 meg ram. And 3-3.5 floppy drives. I would like to know what can or can't be done with this system. I also have an old black and white video camera around here somewhere. Also, I have converted several pictures from gif to ham, using hamsharp, and would like to know of how to retouch them after they have been converted. Finally, I have seen several ad's for digiview 4.0, the ad's state that all you need is an A/500, and you can "produce professional quality images." Does anybody have any input on this? I am open to any and all comments/opinions, they will be greatly appreciated. thanx Joe via…New England!
