Basic installation of Art Department Professional

[Nick_66]

Hi all,

I have a copy of the programm Art Department Professional which I want to install on my A1200.

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

Like the guys on this video: https://youtu.be/eQmkOhFzzak

When I want to install this programm I have a lot of options. I want a basic installation of this programm which allows me to display images in HAM mode on my Amiga. Any forum members here who have some experience with this?

Is this also possible on my A500+ ?

Hi all!

Thanks for all the advice!

Just back from holiday and haven't got the time to read through all your answers.

I will install ADPro with the default options on my A1200 as adviced. I have a 4GB hd installed so diskspace wouldn't be an issue I think.

I also use Dopus as my main file manager. The way I would like to work with my images is putting them on a CF card on my PC and convert them later on my A1200 to be displayed in HAM modus.

I have a ACA1233 accelerator installed on my A1200 with a MC68030 40MHz CPU from Individual Computers.

On my A500plus I have the newest ACA500plus installed combined with the ACA1221 accelerator.

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!

Hi!

I will do an expert install if this programm on my A1200. Your Youtube video helped me to get started with this transferring my pictures from my camera to my A1200 and displaying them in HAM modus on a CRT monitor. There is something really nostalgia about that! Really like the way pictures are displayed on my old CRT monitor.

I got these four ADF files from you, but is there a way to mount these ADF files as a virtual disk so I would have to use real 3.5" disks?

This will do it.

Thanks! No sure how this tool works, but it seems a command based tool.
