Bill, Thanks for the info, I had figured that I was going to be limited by my current system. A lot of the things you have talked about are far above my price range, most notably the hard drive, and the scanner. I have been looking through catalogs, and for $95 I can get an external ram board with 2 meg, it is expandable to 8 meg should I require it in the future. Do you think this is adequate? Or, do I need more than that for now? As for the retouching of gifs, I should have made myself more clear on that. I have a large collection of gif pictures that I downloaded from another BBS. They are inferior in quality to the ham pictures I downloaded from AmigaArts. A lot of them seem blurry, and others seem more like the colors are too bright. What I mainly want to do, is to be able to clean these pictures up, and make them look sharper and more detailed. Also, I have some B&W pictures that I would like to colorize. For now, I will be content just playing with these pictures. In the future I would like to start digitizing my own (I am becoming more and more interested in DCTV). Will digipaint-3 be adequate for what I want to do? Or, do I need something else in conjunction with it? Thanks for the help. Joe. via…New England
