John, thanks for jumping into this thread. If I came up with a decent
slide of my image, would you be able to come up with an 8×10 or poster,
and what would the cost be roughly?
The only way I could come up with a 5k file would be to let Adpro
rescale the image, but even though it has great image processing
capabilities, it can't create something out of nothing, so I would
expect a whole lot of dithering/smoothing going on. I will probably
try it anyway just out of curiosity.
One last question; In the future, if I had some Lyuponov images or
other images that I thought would be marketable as posters, what would
I expect to pay to have large quantities of posters made. Probably
what I should be doing is finding a Chicago phonebook and make some
calls to see where it gets me.
One way or another (I'm waiting for the VP from Centaur) I want to
start making some money with my Amiga (before I burn out at my current
job – medical electronic field service). I'm in the video world at
home at the moment. I made 7 videos for a doctor friend (no money
involved – I did it for the experience – He was doing the seminars
for free).
So one angle I have is to reprocess boring 2 hour videos into a 30
minute piece of entertainment. The other angle is that my son and my
friend Eddie Williams are excellent artists – maybe I could get that
artwork onto posters.
Anyhow, thanks for getting back to me, and I wouldn't mind getting
more information about what your company does or what you do for
future reference. B. Patek
