I'm trying to convert all my 3ds 24 bit image files to the Macintosh PICT format. Does anyone know of a conversion utility (shareware or otherwise) which will take tiff/tga/jpeg files and convert them to PICT format? (I was hoping Paintshop Pro, but that don't cut it..) Thanks, BITS

BITS: >> take tiff/tga/jpeg files and convert them to PICT format? Image Alchemy will do that rather well. The command line would be: alchemy -m input1.tif for a single image, or alchemy — -m *.tif \newdir to take an entire directory of TIFFs and put them in another directory as PICT files. There is a public domain version of the program that will handle small images, or the full blown version that includes a DOS extender for any size. There are also Sun Sparcstation and SGI versions for the product, if you really want some speed! Greg Pyros

>>Does anyone know of a conversion utility Image Alchemy by handmade software is the answer for what you are trying to do. It's outstanding! You just type "alchemy -m *.JPG" and off it goes. This program covers more raster formats than ANY. The shareware version does up to 640×480, pay HSI $80 and they'll give you a 386 version that will do any resolution. Plus, most variants, and many image variables can be batch converted with alchemy. Jim
