re Image FX 1.5 I have the complete manuals but am confused by VEM..I have 16mb fast ram and 030 on A1200…I specified 2000kb VEM to use but when I ask for an oil transfer I get "cannot perform on disk based buffer..?' when I say ask before using VEM it does it ok…but not when `always use vem'.the manual refers to disk buffer in ROWS and yet my requester refers to KB..my version is ugraded to 1.5 official. Are there any FAQ type files to refer to for a novice in this programme. What should I set vmem to for my size machine. I have a thing called VMM installed on the machine (came with it) that is a total mystery to me and from what I read of the docs will probably stay that way for a few decades..does it have any effect on the vmem in image fx..excuse me if this is a very stupid question but…? Also wot is VTU? (`also if you read VTU') very tough udder? Thanks… Carey Dillon Video Westland. New Zealand

Carey, the limitation of the Oil Paint effect was eliminated in 2.0/2.1 of ImageFX – it works on virtual memory now. If you've got 16mb, then telling ImageFX to use 8000kb (ie: 8mb) is more efficient and faster. Kermit Woodall Nova Design, Inc.

I'm glad kermit replyed to this. I have enough ram so that I am VERY rarely asked if I want to use VRAM. I do HIGHLY sugest that you upgrade to 2.1. you wont be disapointed. VTU is Video Toaster User magazine. It realy is about the only magizine that covers the amiga here in the States (and that is only video related stuff). Brad Hayes Hayes Visual Communication

Brad, <VTU is Video Toaster User magazine. It realy is about the only magizine that covers the amiga here in the States> Not true, Amazing Computing is still alive and publishing! Asha Another day, another million colors
