3466.0. "PostScript Newsletter" by DICKNS::MACDONALD (WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25) Mon Feb 12 1990 10:38

    The March issue of the Nashua Area Radio Club Bulletin is available
    in DICKNS::USER:[MACDONALD.PUBLIC]NARC.PS (or NARC.ARC).
    
    This is a good example of what the Amiga can do! This is a 14 page
    newsletter containing photographs, line art, EPSF files, different
    fonts, etc.
    
    Products used:
    
    o  Amiga 2000 (5 Mbytes) with 68020
    o  Professional Page V1.3
    o  Professional Draw V1.0
    o  Deluxe Paint III
    o  DigiView V4.0
    o  PixMate
    o  SEDT V3.2
    
    The RE/MAX ad was particularly challenging. After recreating the
    text portion, I digitized the balloon using DigiView V4.0 in 640x400
    color. I then pulled the IFF file into DPaint III, tidied it up
    and removed all surrounding clutter giving it a white background.
    Next I pulled it into Pixmate and extracted the Grey tones. Then,
    I pasted it into Professional Page. You'll notice that a lot of
    the photos are "light." This is done using Pixmate to soften the
    contrast for better reproduction at the printer. We are doing a
    mailing of 900 issues this month!
    
    Enjoy!
