#Framestore to IBM
7 messages in this thread
I have a picture that was done on a Toaster and saved as a Framestore. Can this
be used (after changing to an IBM disk) by any programs on IBM. Is there a
conversion that I can do to get it into a format that IBMs can use.

I think you'll need to convert it first. ImageFX or AdPro ought to be able
to do the conversion.

Thanks for the info, I don't have either of those programs so I guess I am out
of luck. I'll have to see if the people that did the picture for me are still
in business, and see if they have either of these programs. I haven't seen any
adverts from them lately so maybe they've given up on us.:(

George,
Not really sure. the only IBM progs that can probably read it are Adobe Photo
Shop, or I'll check my copy of Paint Shop Pro (shareware available for
download). If the Toaster machine that grabbed it has Amiga Dos 2.0 or higher
it can read a Double density IBM disk. If it's equipped with a HiDensity drive,
I'l read it anyway. If no one else can help. Email me at vcp1@onet.com.

Rick,
Thanks for the help. I think the ibm machine has Photo Shop, but the guy
running it wasn't too sure about wether or not it could read Framestore. The
problem with most IBM people is that as soon as you mention something other
than IBM, especially Amiga, they tend to glaze over and go into convulsions:) I
think I will have to find a book about Photo Shop and see if it mentions
anything about FrameStore.

That's cause they are stupid and bought "compatibles" which are not compatible
with any other clone (joke)
I trnasfer files all the time from my Amiga to the clone.
John,
As far as I know PhotoShop won't recognize Toaster Framestore format images,
but it will read/write Amiga IFF24 if you got the plug-in. Theres also some new
s/w available for the Amiga that can handle PS file formats. That may be the
way to go.
