- Unfortunately, pc users rule the roost in our department. We are therefore
- going to buy a slide maker that is to be driven by a pc. We have been
- investigating the poloroid ci 5000 with mixed results. Part
- of the problem may be image file formats. I have been converting the files
- first to gif files, and then capturing them. The software we have doesn't seem
- to offer any other image formats except for the standard eps, hpgl etc.
-
- 1) Can anyone recommend a procedure or system (hardware + software)
- that can be used to make slides on a pc from sgi images?
-
- 2) If we had to do it right, that is with a machine hooked directly to
- the sgi, what is available in the lower price range?
-
- thanks for your help!
