I've been comparing the differences between regular HAM renderings from Imagine, and renderings from the same scene done as 24 bit ILBMs, which are loaded into DCTV, and then converted to HAM from there. The main advantage of loading the pix into DCTV and converting to HAM is the clarity and crispness of the converted image. This also means that the image *may* be somewhat smaller - possibly due to this 'cleaness' in the image. (ie. less dithering, or changes per line?) I've found that the same scene rendered as 24 bit and converted to HAM is 20K smaller than just a straight HAM rendering! This is useful too, as I'm uploading these pics regularly, as Pat mentioned... Oh yeah....I love my DCTV. And tha's all. :) "Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Television..." ------------------------------------------------------- E. John Love S.S.
