Hi, I got ImageFX 1.5 from CU Amiga several months ago, and I find it's a great program. Alas, the documentation over IMP is missing, and I need to perform a very specific operation with it. Here's the problem: I have a set of IFF IMAGES forming an animation, and I want IMP to get a part of the picture, going from X1,Y1 to X2,Y2 (I know the exact coords). Then he has to clear the actual screen, scale the part of the picture I took before, and draw it on the empty screen. Doing this by hand is a tedious job (believe me). Someone could tell me how I have to write the script? Help!!! Diego.

Carlo: In ImageFX 1.5 there is a feature known as LEARN. "Shift-1" will start it, this will let record an ARexx Macro ("shift-2" will stop the learning process). When you start the LEARN process EVERY thing you do from that moment on will be recorded, and repeated in you macro. So just load a frame, Start LEARN, do exactly what every you need to do, stop learn. then use this Arexx macro in IMP. By the way I highly suggest you upgrade to ImageFX2.1. There is a new hook called AutoFX that makes just this kind of thing very easy. And if you read VTU look for an artical on this very subject in the next month or two… Brad Hayes Hayes Visual Communication
