I'll never write the amiga off… And I never said it couldn't handle it.. The point is that this guy was obviously doing professional work and you were trying to steer him towards a kludge kinda program for his needs.. He was obvious in stating that he needed to work on the WHOLE 1280×1280 image at one time and you were confusing him with terms like "full image mode" and saying he could do what he wanted with the amiga's built in video… I know the amiga is a great machine but there are some things its just NOT the best for…. Some guy at home that wants to play with big pictures… ok fine your program is great…. Proffesionals that can't afford a $1-$2k video card, then your program is great… But you have to recognize that many business users HAVE to have the hardware/software regardless of cost… And I think that the only reason your software seems faster is because 99% of the time its working on smaller images. Photoshop on the mac is slow by a lot of standards, but you won't find any other program that has all its features. We edit 50meg files daily on a 33mhz 040 based Quadra 950…. Expensive, but to try and do that on an amiga would be crazy…. You'ld waste expensive man hours setting it up, translating output etc etc etc… Overall the amiga is my favorite computer… But I had to jump in there and save this guy from an expensive mistake because the two of you kind of had a communications break-down or something…. Now, forgetting about that, does your software support the AGA chips?? Joe Flanagan A&a Printers
