Digi-View can capture images from video when using a color splitter & a VCR with a flying erase head or digital freeze-frame capability. Digi-View works in resolutions from 320X200 up to 768X480. Digi-View can also digitize images in hi-res with up to 4096 colors, depending on the nature of the subject matter. Digi-View is also a high quality image processor. It also has the capability of linking together with Digi-Paint 3 if you have 2 megs of ram. Both Digi packages also have ARexx ports to allow you to write sophisticated ARexx programs to automate the digitizing process. Images then exported into an animation program will be assured of being top-notch quality, so the slow-scanning is worth it. The nice thing about the two programs linking up, is that, as soon as you digitize the picture, it goes into the paint program for immediate retouching. Digi-View also saves in two larger file formats to allow export to hardware capable of displaying over 16 million colors in high resolution. There are many options and many more details to be mentioned on this subject, so hang around, and pick up as much pertinent data as you can on it. **** Vance ****
