No, no, no, no... Stay with Brilliance. It works in Ham8 keeping the 24bits
data internally and the speed is much better than DPaint... Ham8 in brilliance
is like 32 colors in DPaint! 256 colors in Brilliance is like 8 colors in
DPaint!!! You have the same keystrokes as in DPaint.
What else do you want?! Why do you have to think twice?! :)
I don't understand what is your problem with the memory... You can do
animations with several megs long, Brilliane takes care of switching date
between Fast and Chip.
Of course that if you are working with several Hi-Res Ham8 images and lots of
brushes, you will have ChipMem problems... Same thing with DPaint, only
slower...
PS: Yes, I think Brilliance is the *BEST* 2D animation program on the Amiga!!!
DPaint IV doesn't even know what an accelerator is! You can expect almost the
same performance with a Warped A4000 as with a stock A1200... It Sucks... I
didn't even bother to check DPaintV... It's improved camera moves and tablet
sensitivity are nothing compared with the headaches I would get from
waiting...
Sorry about that folks, I'm just tired... Nothing that a good 24h sleep can't
