- Sadly ASDG (now Elastic Reality) has ditched any Amiga support, so any
- fixes for this are unlikely (I'd KILL for GIF89a support on ADPro!!!)...
- I've also had trouble with some JPEGS not being recognized by ADPro, for
- those I use ImageFX (that and tiff support are the only reason I use
- it...), save them as IFF-24 to RAM: and from there open them in ADPro.
- I've heard the new version of Viewtek or Fastview can view >and< save
- jpegs, maybe it's worth to check them out... BTW, lately I've been using
- PhotoShop's 3.0 Amiga IFF (not HAM) saver on my ShapeShifter partition,
- and it works OK, saving in IFF-24 format...
