Photogenics - where to get it?

[mingle]

Hi,

I'm currently tinkering with my A4000 to see how useful it can be.

One thing I'd like to try is 24 bit GFX editing . PPaint is okay for pics up to 256 colours, but isn't really used for photo editing...

Back in the day I had Photogenics 1.2 with my A1200 and it seemed like a useful program, but I can't seem to find it anywhere out there now.

Does anyone know if there's a 'free' or demo version available for the Amiga (I see there's a PC version now).

Cheers,

Mike.

Wow, A$99.60 is a bit steep for such old software that definitely will never see another Amiga update ever again. I bet they'd sell a lot more copies and make a lot more profit if it was closer to $30.

Hmm... Yep, too rich for my requirements - a quick/occasional 'tinker'...

Does anyone know if the old coverdisk version 1.2 is available?

You're going to have to bite the bullet, and buy a graphics card if you are serious about working with graphics...

If you know which magazine and when it came from, it should be very easy to find.

There might even be 1 or 2 dealers who still have v2 in stock.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies...

I've tracked down v1.2 - Makes you realise how much we take modern PCs for granted in terms of speed when displaying & editing digital images! :-)

It was such a great program at the time. Certainly more a bit more user-friendly than ImageFX.

It was written in AmigaE, too

Website states $79.. I think it might be worth it.. I've always wanted this program.

It's worth every penny. Sheesh.. y'all will spend $250 -$300 for an old CPU card but not spend $79 for software you can run emulated on a PC using UAE at 5 times the speed of the $300 CPU card...

Photogenics 2.x was a complete rewrite and is a lot better than 1.2.

Crom00, can you buy me a copy?

As is version 4.x over 2.x. Mostly in the way the interface works. Both versions are exellent grfx/paint packages. Version 4 is well worth the $80. ...at least it was when originally released. It's not a catchall program, more slatted towards 24bit digital painting instead of processing. A decent display card really is beneficial to the operation of the program.
I am unable to find a vt framestore loader/saver for photogenics.

You have to be born with it, or know a good plastic surgeon.

..oh, wait.

Maybe if I was 20 years younger and you were...pardon the pun my "amiga".

It a demo showed up on amiga format coverdisc at some point maybe someone here or on EAB hast that disc.
