It is (according to this article) the first 'paint' program which works in Dynamic Hi-res. I was wondering if anyone had tried out a copy yet and could give an impromptu review. Also, I have a question about Dynamic Hi-res itself. I understand how you set up the copper lists to select the 'optimal' 16 color palette for each scan line, but here's something that puzzled me: What if you drew, say, 100 1-pixel wide vertical lines, and intended to make each one a different color? How could this mode (purported to display all 4096 colors with no color fringing) possibly display that w/out fringing? And remember, I mean 1-pixel wide so no tricky dithering is acceptable. --If the above question seems inane, obvious, or downright assinine, please explain what I am misunderstanding about how the mode works. (I'm working from the proverb that says: There are NO dumb questions. :-) Thanks a million!
