Paul, That's strange because I just sold my HAM-E and before that I was using the current IP to render to HAM8. It crashed ocassionally in doing so, and Rend24 beat it (in quality) on many images. I find I have to use "high quality" mode in Rend24 most of the time.. I just leave it on. Right about ViewTek's palette selection.. but it's still very good for a fast viewer. No reasons not to preview in full color anymore. I'm not wrong about the sizes, Paul. That HAM8 picture was twice the size of the DCTV picture because -I assume you must have- used hires. DCTV outputs a lores signal (it's trading off the resolution of the original IFF format for more colors… 4bp hires = 8bp lores). If you were using lores HAM8, then there is something severely wrong with your rendering/saving program. I won't get into the look and feel of software, but I'll remind you that Brilliance was written by some of the same people who wrote DCTV Paint (makes sense, it's put out by the same company). I would expect Brilliance to have the same basic user interface features and more. We could take bets on whether DPaint/AGA or Brilliance will ship first.. my money is on DPaint. -Chris
