As the publisher of Prism, I have tried to be very sensitive to the needs of the users of our software. There seemed to be 3 main complaints/gripes of Prism. 1). The lack of a 4096+, or clean-up mode, 2). No CMAP in the ILBM header file, so some programs couldn't use Prism saved IFF files, and poor documentation expecially regarding the Area/Region commands. As you may have heard we are now shipping a significant upgrade to Prism, now called Prism Plus. Prism Plus addresses all of the above concerns but one. (We are still having the new manual written). If you have sent in your warranty card you should be receiving a letter in the mail notifying you of the upgrade, which is FREE to all registered owners. Prism Plus now supports: All Legal IFF ILBM picture types including REAL IFF brushes. PAL Support, Overscan Support, Picture sizes up to 1024X1024 pixels, 320X400 Interlace Mode, Our Heuristics for HAM clean-up are I'm sure you will find the most ambitious yet used on the Amiga. New palettes can be computed AT ANY TIME by the user, clean-up is done in REAL-TIME as you paint also. Text is re-computed when in overscan mode, Genlock is fully supported with a variable color zero. Prism will even be able to edit "Silver" ray-traced Animation files. As with the first version of Prism, the products' main thrust is as a HAM Edit/Paint program. This differs from Digi-Paint greatly. Digi-Paint has some very unique and special abilities dealing with special effects. Even though I personally conceived Prism, I still use and like Digi-Paint, and I think those out there who seriously deal in the HAM world NEED BOTH PROGRAMS. With the exception of Digi-Paint brushes, everything else is transporable between both programs. Digi-Paint is using their own Brush format which is not any sort of IFF standard.
