3575.0. "need help with digitized maps" by FSCORE::KAYE (where's my Kama Sutra pop-up book for zero-g) Mon Mar 12 1990 09:45

A friend was kind enough to digitize some map areas for me. What i
need to do now is extract the exact area of interest, expand it to
fill the screen and modify it to black/white (no shades of grey which
it now contains). What do i need to do this?
I have DeluxePaint III, but to clean it up in magnified mode would
take quite a while and i have many to do. I don't understand Pixmate
enough to know if it can help. If anyone can give me some steps to
follow for Pixmate i can give it a try.

3575.1A DeluxePaint III answerDUGGAN::GAYNow where'd I put that hammer...Mon Mar 12 1990 12:0817
    With Deluxe Paint III, changing to black and white's not too hard.
    
    The simplest answer is to edit the pallette so one half is black and
    the other is white.  You can "adjust the contrast" by choosing which
    gray scales you make white and which black.
    
    As for expanding the area of interest, pick it up as a brush and expand
    it to the size of the screen (I forget the exact wording of the 
    entry in the brush pulldown menu, but it lets you drag to the desired
    size.  If you hold down the shift key, it will keep the same aspect
    ratio).
    
    Hope that helps
    
    Yours

3575.2MQOFS::LEDOUXReserved for Future UseMon Mar 12 1990 11:5010
    If you want strictly black & white, why not just print it in black
    & white?.
    Dpaint 2 and 3 have a requestor for the print option that states
    Black/white,  Grey, or color.  Just pick up the B&W.
    
    This feature also gives nice effect when printing color picture
    in this mode.  You won't "see" it on the screen, but it works
    pretty good.

3575.3printing em b/w won't doFSCORE::KAYEwhere's my Kama Sutra pop-up book for zero-gMon Mar 12 1990 12:1110
re .2

I can't just print them. I need them to pull into PPage and don't really
need the shades of grey. 

re .1

I'll give the pallette change a try.

3575.4anybody got the worlddatabank extra maps??UBEAUT::MANDERSONPhotographers do it in the darkMon Mar 12 1990 19:449
    On the issue of maps has anybody managed to get the extra files for the
    worlddatabank map (fish 262). wdb 4 and 3 are on the ff disk but
    evidently 1 and 2 are far higher resolution and are also in the PD but
    were not included because of floppy disk space constraints
    
    I would love a copy of them if anybody has them
    
    regards
