Good question. What I mean is image processing for technical
analysis/extraction of image features which can't be easily seen. This
is as opposed to all of the Amiga image processing programs I have seen
which do what I call 'picture processing'.

I need things like:  A minimum of 8 bit grey-scale. 24 bit color
preferred.  Image enhancement, filtering, math functions, histograms
(in scaled units), a-scan & b-scan style presentation capabilities.
With all of these, I need to be able to specify a range of the picture
to operate on - from part of a single line to any specified rectangular
area. And no, PixMate doesn't cut it. I am still looking, though I do
appreciate Dr. Kittel's recommendations a few days, ago. I am looking
into it. (Thanks)

For an introduction of what I need, go take a look at 'CT' (version 2)
I think) on the Fish disks. It comes the closest to the type of image
processing I am talking about.

--------------------------
Now to those who take offense at my needing 8/24 bit color, don't worry,
I can pay for it (I think :^)
