2343.0. "Amiga Artists- What are you painting?" by TSECAD::BURWEN () Thu Mar 09 1989 15:17

	What is everybody painting on their Amigas?  Are you using
    Deluxe Paint, DigiPaint or Photon Paint?
    
    	I am very anxious to hear about what you have done.  Anything
    that looks good??????

    I use Express Paint V3.0, which permits up to a full page at 300 dpi
    (somewhat painfully).  My son uses it more than I do, to illustrate
    school reports.  I have very little artistic skill---my wife tells me
    that all my taste is in my mouth.

2343.2what is virtual pageORANGY::JANOSIKTrust in OrangeThu Mar 09 1989 20:2214
hi,

a friend of mine who is not blessed enough to work for such a fine
company, bought express paint.  he read that it can use, or uses the
'virtual page' standard. he thinks that this will allow him to create
big art works, but he says there is no documentation on this 'standard'.

if anyone can point me to something, i and my friend would sure
appreciate it.

thanks in advance.

2343.3yep - Dpaint is okNZOV01::MCKENZIENuke the Leprechaun!Thu Mar 09 1989 21:3822
    I used Deluxepaint to produce all screens for a relational Database
    that I'm writing
    
    Title graphics
    Security Patches
    master menu
    Help screens
    
    nothing awesome - very simple stuff like Company Logos (I'm writing
    the stuff for a friend who has just bought a small business)

    I have drawn some reasonable stuff - I drew an electronic greetings
    card for a friend on his birthday / xmas stuff for my family
    and some background graphics for a game that a friend of mine
    is writing (mountains/waterfall/forest etc)
    
    I've never used any other paint program so It's impossible
    for me to make any comparisons

2343.4maybe not very standard?SAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterFri Mar 10 1989 10:185
    re: .2---The only documentation I have ever seen for the virtual page
    "standard" is in the Express Paint 3.0 manual.  They claim that
    AmigaTeX will be using it, but I've not seen any hint from Tom Rokicki
    that he is even aware of it.
