Hello,
  I have a CCD camera setup on my PC and would like to get a program
/package that runs in MSDOS or MS Windows that would allow me to 
manipulate the image files from the camera.  I would like it to:

1)  Read in TIF file
2)  Print out greyscale (256 if possible) on a postscript laser printer.
    [a good dithering capability]
3)  Expand image to full page from 744x244-ish bitmap.  [some type of
    interpolation]
4)  Zoom into parts of image.
5)  Process grey scale into false color image

I have used Photoshop on a Mac and wonder if there is something 

similar or better on a PC.  
Secondly my CCD camera outputs raw greyscale output.  I have to 
write a converter from this raw data to a standard bitmap format.  
Is there  any canned routine/package I can buy for doing this???

My final question is what postscript laser printer would have 
256 or even 64 greyscale capabilities.  I am looking at the 
HP laserjet 4M, but am open to suggestions.


THANKS ALOT
