- Consider to support QRT and PNM (realy easy...) for easy exchange with

- Anyway, who he needs TIFF Support may consider to take a look for
- pbmplus-library. For once-in-a-lifetime, the tifftopnm or pnmtotiff
- is really sufficient. Look on ftp.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de
- /pub/amiga/pbmplus (dunno wheather the path is ok) for more.
-
- Both, ImageMaster and ADPro have their pro's and contra's. In Germany
- a mail-order company even sells them bundeled together in a
- Software-Package for a cute price.
-
- Both don't respect the Style Guide of Commodore, this is the biggest
- contra for me.
-
- For the VM question: Both work perfectly with GigaMem (read my test 3 weeks
- ago..).
-
- For real Image Processing you need a fast machine and much mememory anyway.
-
- Greets, Markus.
