Hi.

I have yet to purchase the software, but I know I am going
to be using .IMG files (of which I know little or nothing about),
AND am going to NEED to print these .IMG in a Postscript DTP 
environment...hence Pagestream comes to mind.  I have been holding
off buying 1.82 due to the purported soon release of 2.x.
I will have a TRUE PS printer shortly- the NEC Silent Writer 90.

My question:  Am I in for trouble in placing .IMG files into
a Postscript format?  Should I expect loss or degradation in the 
conversion?  is there a conversion?  and, what .IMG editing tools
are out there?  TOUCH_UP ? others?  Are .IMG typically large?
And if converted to PS.. can I assume that were I to go to a
printhouse for greater than 300dpi, i will be able to get the
higher resolution for the graphics images?

your help is very much appreciated.
thanks
