kevin , i am thinking of buying a targa 32 its not a plus though… i assume thats it not upgradable to a plus. i would like to know what modes it runs at , if it runs at 512x486x32 then thats all im going to use… since the targa 64+ max mode for 32 bit is 512×486 anyway for recordable rez. the only other that i would be interested in would be the hi-rez mode . what is the max for that? also i contacted imageset in san fran. and am going to send a 20 meg 4k targa file to them for color processing and print at 24 inch by 36 inch. i was thinking of 3d studio to render the file at 4096x3706x24 but would like to render at 32 bit , if i tell 3dstudio to use the 8 bit alpha in the 3ds.set file will it truly create a 32 bit targa file? lastly , what exactly is iris graphics ? i talked to a company in new york that said they are getting a machine that will take a targa file directly and print a 24×36 inch print. is iris graphics the name of the machine or the company? oh… they want 800 for the targa 32. is that a good price? thanks in advance for any info. sherwood
