- First off, I'd like to thank everyone who emailed me suggestions for my
- previous hypertext question. I finally came up with a good solution.
- Thanks also to the people at Frame Technical support. I'll try to explain
- what I'm doing now. The first thing that I was doing wrong was that the
- color images in Frame was set to false. Add the following to your
- Xdefaults file: "Maker.colorImage: True". Without having this switch set,
- Frame appears to interpret your image as one of three colors: black, grey,
- and white. After that, most of my problems were due to scanner setup.
- Make sure that the grey scale is turned on when you scale. As for the
- image, I'm scanning the picture into a TIFF file and using xv to manipulate
- the color, contrast, etc. I also shrink the file in xv to a size which
- Frame can handle. If I don't do this, then when Frame displays the
- picture, all that I get is a grey box where the picture should be. Once, I
- have the picture the way that I want it, I either do a screen capture of
- the picture or I save it in a Sun rasterfile format. I haven't noticed any
- picture quality difference using one method or the other. Good luck and
- thanks again for your help.
