Thomas, >I'm considering either Brilliance or DPV to draw 256 color images using my A4000. I assume that these programs both save in IFF file format. I'd strongly suggest AGAINST DPaint V. I've had nothing but problems with it and have heard the same from other folks. I haven't used Brilliance since the dongled version (2.0 isn't) but it should do what you're looking for. It's also supported, very important these days… >Is there any software, commercial or shareware, that would convert the resulting 256 color IFF files into 256 color PCX files for importing into MS-DOS code? Both Adpro and ImageFX will do those conversions for you, and many others as well. >BTW: Is anyone aware as to whether either of the Amiga programs supports pressure-sensitive styli common to some drawing tablets? DPaint V does…sort of. Don't know about Brilliance. Photogenics, which also supports 24 bit saved files also supports pressure sensitivity and allows one do some nice painting modes.
