>>So to answer the question, your $50 can go either place.<< You're offering the same deal directly? Cool. Good answers so far, and yes they raise more questions. <G> >>to single images (so far, think Photoshop and you have an idea… R3 has many similarities to Photoshop)… and also to streams of images, unlike Photoshop<< What about to batches of single images, could I apply a given color correction to 40 existing scans, or read 100 compressed TIFs and write them as uncompressed TGAs? Can you batch load images from your file open, i.e. hold down the control key and select more than one file name? You mention compositing, do you have 32 bit i/o, either TIF or TGA? How's the memory usage? I sometimes need to work on very large images in 16 megs of RAM, and the speed hit makes virtual memory not an interesting option. I don't need it often enough to buy another $1000 worth of RAM, but it does make me aware of some performance control issues. These, for instance, are problems I have with some programs that I otherwise quite like. Can you turn off the undo? Matisse's undo is always on, immediately cutting my RAM in half. That hurts. Can you keep images from being promoted to greater bit depths than needed? PictureMan promotes everything to 24 bit regardless. Not needed if all I want to do is crop an 8 bit image. How about image size limitations? Halo Desktop Imager has a hardwired 2048 pixel limit. Too small by half. — Dan Richardson Northampton, MA, US 11-Dec-94 11:28p —
