#Amiga-> File Xfer?
Is MaxDOS an Amiga program?
Glad to hear they got a modem. Hope it's _at least_ 14.4Kb.
If you're going to be sending the files to them at night, and they _need_
them in PICT format, I would strongly recommend you purchase an EMPLANT
and AppleTalk Remote Access v2.0.
For starters, they shouldn't _need_ PICT files if they have PhotoShop &
DeBabelizer on the Mac, as they will automate the conversion process. (If
they don't do it, you'll have to, and this is the only way I know of.)
Second, ARA is the preferred method of file transfer for the situation
that you're in. While a BBS solution is possible, it will be far more
prone to trouble and operator error (on their end). ARA can be setup by
the most Mac-headed computer user, and is very easy and straightforward to
use. Most importantly, when you use ARA, you effectively gain remota
access to their AppleTalk network….Copying files is just a matter of
dragging them from your Emplant HD into a folder on the remote volume.
(EMPLANT's latest revision allows you to easily move an entire directory
of files over to the Mac from the Amiga in a single operation.)
In the end though, you'll find it's worth the trouble. Keeping your images
in the digital domain will do wonders for the final output quality!
(Oh, BTW…..From past experience, I bet you're going to want to render
with square pixels at a 640×480 pixel resolution too…..That's the format
used by Avid's)
Have Fun!….
