Also, I am told that a fix to NCSA Image is immenent (maybe out now). I've done some tinkering with Adobe PhotoShop and found it to be good as well, but I don't recall the analysis features you'll find in either the NCSA or NIH package. PhotoShop has the benefit of using a hard drive for virtual memory. Works great if you have the space, but not so great if you don't. I've worked on 20 meg 24 bit scans, but ran out of space with the 35 meg ones (35 for scan + 35 virtual for use + other program > hard drive). There's not much of a chance of doing work at home until I get a new hard drive. Paul Eric Menchen meuchen@grad1.cis.upenn.edu p.s. Ever try printing one of those 20 meg scans? We left a printer going for more than a day and then had to do other things. I think we overloaded the printer - it only has 8 megs of memory, and it didn't know what to do.
