Nope. :^) Imagemaster can scale any image into a full screen, and you can work on it that way – we call that "entire image" mode. Then we have "exact image" mode, where each pixel of your image is 1:1 with screen pixels, and you scroll the display to cover the part you want. There is a third option, where you can cut out a "piece" of an image into what is essentially an isolated NEW image, work on it (either way, exact or entire) and then if the results are as you like, you "restore" that subimage into the one you cut it out of – a simple operation; all cut out buffers know where they came from. Imagemaster operates this way: Lets say you have a 1280×1280 image, and it's scaled into the display in entire image mode. Since you have it in 640×400, for instance, you're not seeing every pixel – but you're seeing most of it. Now, say you want to do something, oh, increase the contrast, of a freehand region. First, you mark the are you want to affect. Then, Imagemaster scales that marking back to the size of the original – 1280×1280 – and applies the operation (contrast in this case) to the original in the exact area you marked. Then, the (new) results are updated to the Amiga display, again scaled to entire image mode. It sounds like a lot, but in practice, it's simple, requires little or no thought from you, and works very, very well. If, in the future, you were to get a high-color display board, there are many that Imagemaster supports, and our support will be improving substantially in the future. –Ben …via AutoPilot
