summary: 24 bit image editing on Sun

Thanks to all the Sun managers that responded - the initial question was
"what commercial or public domain applications exist for 24 bit image
editing on the Sun platform."

Martin Achilli <martin@gea.hsr.it> - suggested ImageMagick
    ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-3.7.1.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-3.7.1.tar.gz

The following people suggested Adobe PhotoShop 3.0 for the Sun platform:

petienne@logibro.logibro.com
Salvatore Saieva <saieva@ppllc.com>

Gregory M Polanski <gmp@adc.com> - uses Pixel!FX from Mentalix
Phone: (214) 423-9377 x18
email: hotline@mentalix.com
Fax: (214) 423-1145

Mr. Polanski also recommended the following PD packages:
xv 3.10a ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/xv/
xvnews 2.3.2 ftp://ftp.twi.tudelft.nl/pub/news/

John Rosenberg <jcr@bgumby.bwh.harvard.edu> - recommended several medical
imaging packages, unfortunately none of which support 24 bit imaging.

Mark Bergman <bergman@phri.nyu.edu> - suggested I look into GIMP, a
Berkeley product. GIMP is developed primarily for the Linux platform
from what I understand.

Justin Young <jayoung@mesun1.engr.subr.edu> - recommended xv from
ftp.cis.upenn.edu.

---------

I was not aware that PhotoShop was available for the Sun platform, I have
used Photoshop 3.0 on the Intel platform quite a bit and overall I don't
think there is another package out there that can compete. On a side
note, Sun Express deals exclusively with Adobe for the Sun version of
PhotoShop, I just received the evaluation version from SunEx overnight
Fedex and I hope to get it installed sometime this weekend.

Regards,
