Hi Ben: First let me Thank You, for your quick reply to my image size problem in WinImage Morph. Today being the 4th we had the obligatory BBQ, and yes the Crow was delicious! My only explanation for the somewhat terse message I sent, is that it was written after over 4 hours of expending a lot of energy going around in circles. I do read the help files, but somehow I just missed the answer. On another note, I just finished reading a review of Imagemaster 9.23 in the June/July issue of Desktop Video World. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!! I would kill to get a program that has even half of the features that were listed. Programs that cost 3X what it sells for don't even come close. If you ported the rest of the program over to the PC, it would be the program against which all others were judged. Any hope of that happening in the near not to distant future?? Ralph Marbach

If it's easier on the conscience to kill than just buy an Amiga, it's no wonder the Amiga isn't more widespread. -Richard

Ralph, no problem. Crow is just beef "of another feather" :^) Two things. First, Imagaemaster 9.23 is a fairly old version. We're shipping Imagemaster 9.52, which has many more features, and we're ABOUT to ship Imagemaster R/t, which will make Imagemaster look pretty limited. :^) Having said that, we're hard at work on WinImages:F/x, which will have most of the features you saw in that review (and probably many more – I've not yet seen that review, but I have yet to see one that actually did cover the features Imagemaster actually has.. maybe DTVW pulled it off, that'd be nice… :^) The WinImages:xxxx product line has 4 planned members; you've seen #1, #2 is being programmed, #3 is in specification and we have brainstorming sessions for #4. I expect you'll be pleased both with the features and the prices. –Ben …via AutoPilot

If Ben Doesn't answer this first here goes. BBS will be relasing a Bunch of Prg's that will add upto a Similar prg as Imagemaster 9.51 At least that was my understanding of it. Tho if $$$ permits you might want to get a used Amiga and Imagemaster 9.51 and Network the Amiga to yer IBM/Clone via Ethernet

Hey Ralph, Instead of begging for a PC port of ImageMaster, do us abig favor… go out and drop about $800 on an Amiga 1200 system…. and get about 2 million of your closest friends to do the same, ok? <g>

Your problem is easily solved — get an Amiga. You'll find all sorts of wonders that you never knew existed (in the PC world). -sja
