INSTRUCTIONS
The pictures in this folder represent a new breed in the ST market: picture scanners. While we were at the World of Atari show, we were able to scan a few things with Navarone's scanner (which retails for $1239.95). Basically, it is a Cannon scanner with Navarone's software and interface. With a 1 meg machine we were able to scan 1/4 page of one of our covers (the Postscript file was too long to fit on the disk: 180,000K arced). If you would like to get this file, just send a disk, a self-address stamped envelope, and a dollar to our mailing address. Please note: you need a laser printer to print the file, however, it is truly amazing. Both color and monochrome users can view the pictures. Color users can view the monochrome pictures (ones with a .TN3 ending) because of a special conversion process that the TINY program uses. One file, which was originally color (JOUST.TN1), was converted to monochrome with a special program (LOOKER, which does a special conversion to retain the complexity of color pictuers). The color Joust picture was scanned with the IMG scanner from Seymour-Radix, based in Texas. The logo was scanned with the Navarone scanner. The degree of quality can definitely be seen between the two, however, the IMG scanner retails in the $100 price range, while the Navarone scanner retails in the $1250 price range.
