Kermit-
I've got exactly the same problem as Scott at work. We have an Electronic
Imaging Lab which is a network of MACII's and PC's. I have been trying to
get Amigas incorporated in the lab for the last year. Commodore
representatives paid us a visit and have provided us with an A3000 for
testing purposes but I have yet to find software for the Amiga that does
the day-to-day, hour-after-hour image processing we do as slickly as
PhotoShop. ImageMaster doesn't even import the JPEG images we are using on
the network. The software
we need will do simple spotting, cropping, color correction etc. on
photographic images we have scanned using our Nikon or Epson scanners.
Right now MACs and PhotoShop are doing a super job for us and the only
incentive to include Amigas would be if the machines were less expensive
and the software as easy to use.
After saying all that can you tell me what ImageFX does in this line? Is
it's interface useable/intuitive? I sure hope so because with PhotoCD and
digital line photography is following it would be nice if the Amiga found a
second nitch.
If you are interested in seeing the types of photography we are doing and
have access to InterNet you can download images at Photo1 or here on CIS in
the Graphics Gallery where we have a couple of libraries. The CIS images
are GIF the Internet images JPEG. They just reorganized the libraries
there and I haven't visited recently but they are listed as Smithsonian1
and Smithsonian2, I think.
Is ImageFX related to the DeskTop Darkroom I saw mentioned in GVP's most
recent ads?
Just wanted to get my two bits in here and ask a couple of questions I have
had since seeing your posting.
Thanks, Carl
