Basic installation of Art Department Professional

I would like to display images made with my modern digital Olympus camera on my A1200 in HAM modus.

Hey cool Nick!  Glad you got something out of our video.  Yeah, like others have said, install ADPro on your awesome A1200.  Do an expert install and just install everything.  a 4GB hard drive is some crazy futuristic stuff man! Just pile it on that baby!

We also made a follow up to that video if you are interested. https://youtu.be/_dHV_Lcbxjo

There is lots of good discussion in the comments to both videos.  I have been having a blast mixing modern gear with the Amiga.  At Vintage Computer Festival East I was taking photos of people with my DSLR, grabbing the image with DCTV, converting to HAM with ADPro, then making a watermark with DPaint.  You can see me doing it here https://youtu.be/HEIesAtmKfM?t=5m54s It was really funand everyone got a kick out of it.

I have a lot more crazy graphics and video projects planned mixing modern stuff with my Amiga so stay tuned!

I hate to throw a curve into this thread, but, why not track down a copy of ImageFX and use that instead of AdPro.
Granted AdPro is a good program, that even in todays world can accomplish a lot.
ImageFX can do more however. I still use version 4 on my trusty old A2000.

I use ADPro because that is what I used back in the day, so it brings back lots of great memories and I know how to use it.  But I know that ImageFX continued to be developed after ASDG no longer supported ADPro so it has more modern features.  Believe it or not my friend just brought his original ImageFX manual to our last user group meeting so I will be learning it as well.  I like learning from an actual manual - old school!

I actually have a project I want to do that requires batch processing so I have to see if ImageFX does it better.  With ADPro you need to make an AREXX script.  I forgot how to do that, but it will be fun to learn again!
