Bruce, I work for an Imaging service beareau in Hollywood CA., We cater mostly to Ad agencies that specialize in movie print promotions ( Movie posters :^). We are an Art shop that creates the original art work, then it gets sent to other Pre-press shops that actually do the large runs of posters etc. We do the scans, photo manipulation/retouching, and supply output from either upto 8×10 trans or upto 30×40 IRIS prints for comps or small run posters. This business originated from a very sucessful conventional photo lab and retouching/airbrushing studio. We can do it all when it comes to imaging, down and dirty if need be. I don't like to talk price here, frankly its kinda embarssing what we charge our customers. And its not cheap. It pays my bills though :^) There are much less expensive sources, probably local to you. I'm always happy to supply what ever know-how I have in this field to my Amiga buddies here. Its my pay back for all the help I've recieved. Perhaps you can e-mail me a %100 JPEG of the image and I can send you some 'samples'. Let me know if you want to use regular mail and I'll give you an address. Working from video res images is kinda tough for print applications, I'd recommend rendering images as large as possible. Manipulating large files on the Amiga can be difficult if not aquard, but not impossible. You need lots of Ram and horsepower, like the Macs or PCs. We can probably go to maybe 16×20 or so from a 750×480 res image. With alittle help from PhotoShop. Bigger res the better for print apps. Keep in touch, ….John
