The problem I'm experiencing is really not with the BMP saver per se. I have been successfully scanning and saving files through ADPro and porting them over to Quark Express on my PC, as long as they are 8 bit files. They look fine on a page. My only question in that regard is that they seem to be porting over very small, even though I've scanned in a large image, I have to blow up the image by over 800% to get it to fit a window just 1" x 1" in size. However, it still manages to print okay, even though this seems like a ridiculously large increase over how the original image was scanned and saved. Like I said, I'm not having problems saving the BMP 8-bit file and porting it over, only getting a BMP file to come up in Adobe Illustrator as a template. Evidently, Illustrator will only accept 1-bit images as templates, not 8-bit images, but when I try to save a 1-bit BMP file, that's when I get the garbled file. Even though ADPro seems to be saving the 1-bit file, it turns into garbage, even when I retry to load it back on my Amiga screen before trying to port it over. I noticed that in your message you tried a number of different software packages, but Illustrator was not among them. Could you possibly try to duplicate this sequence and let me know how I should save the BMP file so that it will port over as a pure b/w BMP image (not grey scale). I don't have the Pro Pack, so I was unable to try to save the image as a TIFF file. Would saving the file this way work out any better? Without the Pro Pack, I can't test it for myself, but if it doesn't work, there's really nothing else in the Pro Pack that I need at this time (although later, maybe). Thanks for looking into this. I appreciate your help.
