If you people writing modules for ADpro are reading > this... I'll buy your first module :-> ). Hmm...although ADPro doesn't directly support PICT, it does support TIFF. Once you get the image in TIFF format, why can't you just convert it via someother program to PICT? I think that TIFF (which supports 24bit bitmaps) is the main standard in the Mac world and if you need to convert to PICT, there is another tool to do that which runs on the Mac. Although I haven't used any Mac paint software in quite a while, I believe most of them load in TIFF and will save out PICT if you so desire. -- Bob The Graphics BBS 908/469-0049 "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!" ============================================================================ InterNet: bobl@graphics.rent.com | Raven Enterprises UUCP: ...rutgers!bobsbox!graphics!bobl | 25 Raven Avenue BitNet: bobl%graphics.rent.com@pucc | Piscataway, NJ 08854 Home #: 908/560-7353 | 908/271-8878
