I agree, PAR ain't no framebuffer and won't replace it or the laser disk!. I am interested in your further impressions. I noticed the artifacting in smooth solid or gradient backgrounds on stills, nearly unnoticable with motion. I think the quality is more than enough for final output for the scientific, industrial, and fun stuff I generally do. A sure flic killer and VTR saver, but keep the Targa/VISTA. BTW, (I'll type this real fast so the thread evaluators won't even notice it <g>), I've been meaning to comment on the images you've been uploading. Magnificant. I could not believe the realism in the whale pictures. And the spider! I've been keeping that image fullscreen on one computer at times just so I can look at it. (The background, a photo? Could you expound on the tool handle in the foreground, especially the metal part?) Thanks also for the object to map method – I've been putting index marks on the object and wild-guessing for non-spherical and non-cylindrical objects. Great technique – we should all send you money! <G> Feel like sharing your numbered grid file(s)? J K J
