I found that the Adobe's PhotoShop does very nice job. This program can convert a color picture (72DPI) to a halftone-processed picture (288DPI or 300DPI or whatever). This method is very good for photograph-type pictures. If it's a regular drawing, probabaly the results (that is, comparing to using LaserWriter dirver), will be (maybe) similar. Hiroshi
