Does anyone know of software that will convert from DCTV formats to TIFF or JPEG without loosing resolution? Second a way to make a slide shows or presentations without the long pause to load and convert? It would seem to me it should be possible to save the prossesed pic so it would load fast. Thanks- Gary.

I used to it with Adpro, you do it by loading your DCTV image and then executing "Rendered to raw", after that you can save the 24-bit file, as far as slideshows, I was saving the DCTV files, and using Amigavision or Showmaker, they let you load the DCTV files and do transitions to them, you just have to be careful which ones you use, if they modify the top left (or right?, I forgot) part of the screen then you will get a flash, but other than that they work very fast.

Thanks. I'm still looking for some pd stuff mostly due to travel. It's hard to find an Amiga store that can answer questions and demonstrate the product. Ion't mind the price as much as does it suit my needs. Thanks again. -Gary.

Imagemaster R/t will do those things for you, and very well, too. –Ben …via AutoPilot

Thanks Ben. I'll try to find out if it will "Do All" – Gary.

As far as converting from DCTV to TIFF, I have used ADPro. Just be sure to save the DCTV picture in 24 bit format. Jim R. Ollick on a Warped 4000/040/40 Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

Thanks! It looks like everyone likes adpro or image master Now all I have to do is figure out which one to buy. -Gary.

Thats EASY……Adpro is More $$$ with LESS features than Imagemaster. Adpro makes you buy TARGA,TIFF,PCX converters seperately from the prg, their built in on Imagemaster(henceforth IM), Adpro Lacks a Morph section which IM has built in, And IM has TONS of Special FX that are not present in ADPro. I suggest you try to get a demo of both prg's before buying tho. BTW I own both prgs 😉 Memeber of AMP Midgard Graphics

Thanks, Pettter I think you've answered my questions! It'll be hard to find a demo, but I may just take the plunge and order it Thanks. -Gary
