In the print world, conversion between different color spaces equals loss of
quality (unless you are downsizing pixel depth, like from 48-bit RGB to 32-bit
CMYK, for final output). You said that you can't use images from the PAR disk
to edit in other programs or to access them from Videopost. You said that you
can convert them to RGB Targas from YUV JPEG (that's the compression scheme
that the PAR uses, right?), use the result in another program or in videopost
and then download them again to the PAR.
The intelligent move then is to avoid the PAR for the first render and render
to Targas in a large HD, process them and when all was ready, send them to the
PAR (and make a copy in that nice Exabyte tape that you probably have -or are
going to have soon <g>). I have a question, sirs. Could I use the Exabyte to
grab my TGA files, then take them from the Exabyte to edit them in secondary
programs or use them in the videopost, and then take them back to the Exabyte?
