#Special Offer!
13 messages in this thread
We've posted a special offer for owners of the following packages:
Butcher – Any Version
Pixmate – Any Version
Art Department – Any Version
Transfer 24 – Any Version
We're providing an easy, no disadvantage to you method to "power-up" your
image handling software tool collection!
See the file "offer3.txt" in DL6 of AmigaVendor for details.
Ben, do you plan on offering a special deal for us Ham-E/IP owners to
purchase ImageMaster? I know you can do most of the stuff from IP, but
sometimes it's easier to work in some of native Amiga grahphic's modes,
especially if you want to render to them.

John, there is nothing setup now (because frankly, it seemed absurd to even
worry about it) but I'm sure something could be worked out – probably at
the same kind of price level that offer3 works with. I can't promise
anything, but I'll bring it up Weds. and they'l _probably_ ok it.

Ben:
And possibly a deal for Im owners that want to have Im/Fc24 as well as just
Im? I like using the standard Amiga display, but there are times I wish I
could use the Fc24 as more than an output device with Im. I've already paid
$200.00 for Im, so I wouldn't want to have to pay the full price of ImFC24
too! Or maybe you could make the fc24 version more like Im in that it could
use either the fc24 or normal Amiga modes for it's display?

I'll add that to the list – we've also got two other "types" of Imagemaster
cooking, and I'll talk about those, too.
I think this is, in general, a good idea.
Ben
Ben:
Which idea do you think is the good one, adding ImageMaster/FC to the
special deal, or merging ImageMaster into the FC version? (so I wouldn't
need 2 different versions 1 for FC one for standard screen)

Adding Imagemaster to the special deal. The other won't be possible.
Ben
Ben,
Let me add a "please" to the idea of extending the offer to imagemaster/fc.
I'm ready to spring at the deal in any case, but since I have a
firecracker, imagemaster/fc would be more useful to me. By the way, I note
from your address you're living near where I grew up, "just down the road"
in Wolf Point. Small world. How's the winter?

This winter, for some reason, has been very mild except for one short (1
week) spurt at -20F at the end of October. Cold Halloween for the
kiddies… :^)
Last winter was more typical, -40f/c (see, Vic?) quite a bit, -55f one
bitter morning.
Remember that with Imagemaster F/c, you *must* run in the overlay mode.
Imagemaster doesn't do that, because all the primary work is done in Amiga
modes, then loaded out to the FC24 whenever you like.
Ben
I'm an IP user for now & now that I also have FC, I want both IM and
IM/FC24! They all seem same but they all have specific benifitial
points…. IP for quick upgrade->IM for standard mode graphic
viewing->&IM/FC for high quality & quick response.
So I second Mike for giving current user a slack for other version.
– THANX R.SATOH ->via Whap!
Rawl:
What I'd really like to see is one unified version so that people that have
the Hame-E and FC can just choose which one, or to use the standard Amiga
display at any time from within the program. The same should hold true for
the IV24 and any other display devices BBS decides to support. This way you
could set a default display device, but by going to the settings menu (or
maybe another menu just for displays) set whatever display you wanted to
use for the session. I really hope Ben likes this idea.

We already support that as far as we're going to, Mike.
Drivers for all display devices will be available for any board we can get
our hands on.
Special versions of the image processing software will be produced very
rarely. It's a lot of work to do, and rarely justified, I think.
Ben
Mike, the IM/Fc24 package is great! The speed increase alone is worth it,
since IM doesn't have to calculate the new palettes, etc… it just draws
the picture. IMHO.
But I agree with you, ideally one should not have to purchase the program
several times at full price.
