#1280×1280 24Bit
Go with the mac.. the 24bit amiga arena is not mature enough for you type
of setting… and you CERTAINLY do not want to use the base amiga (even
with the new AGA chips) to edit 1280×1280 24bit images…. The mac
software is more powerful and the hardware is more supported. Trying to
use an amiga to do this will only give you more headaches and less
support…. For the same amount of money….
I.E. you have a developer here saying that you can edit said pictures on
the amiga in "full image" mode at 640×400 and not lose "much" of the
picture… Last time i checked 640×400 will give you 1/4 of a 1280×1280
image.. As such their "full image mode" strips out 75% of the pixels in
your image in an attempt to display the "full image" in "full image"
mode…. That is *NOT* going to be acceptable for your needs. If you find
and add a display card to an amiga that supports 1280×1280 you'll be locked
into the 1 or 2 software programs that support the card.. whereas on the
mac everything works on the display including the operating system.
I like the amiga very much but there are some things best left to macs (at
least for now).
