Hi Wesley. ToasterPaint will load IFF images and brushes of any size up to 752×480. They can be any valid IFF format (from black-and-white to 24-bit). It will save IFF images and brushes in the IFF24 (24-bit format) only. It can also save images in the Framestore format, which is required by the Switcher for it to display stills. LightWave has the same conditions, except that the newest version (3.5) supports Targa files for both load and save. Using the READPICT and WRITEPICT utilities included with the Toaster, you can load and save images that are in the PICT format, popular on the Mac and used also on PCs. Of course, getting those images TO and FROM those machines is another lengthy message entirely. You'll find info on this in the appendix of the Toaster manual.
