DPaint Conversion
I reviewed Deluxe Paint PC for Compute magazine, and I wondered about this,
too. It turns out that the Prism / Diamond paint program from Impulse will
correctly load and translate a VGA IFF file to Amiga HAM. It correctly
interprets the 256 color CMAP hunk. Deluxe Paint Amiga would choke on it. I
haven't tested DigiPaint III. I know I told them they should add this, but I
don't know if they did. So yes, your students could create IFF images on the
PC and load them on the Amiga. Deluxe Paint Amiga will load Deluxe Paint PC
images. Beware of the differences in aspect ratio. They may be limited to
certain PC screen resolutions that match the Amiga screen resolutions.
