But you don't need all that just to make an existing MSX picture better. You
use these advanced options when you create whole new pictures or when you
manipulate photos. And I can know these things because I study
"reclametekenen" and are every evening busy with pc graphic programs.

OK, in theory you are right, but I think every graphic designer on MSX would
rather use a real MSX than PC programs for the simple reason that it's less
work.

But why perform all these "kunstgrepen" when you can do it on your MSX!!!!
No problems with converting graphics to MSX format. Just rip the graphics
out of the game. Make it a screen 7 picture and upgrade it slightely. It's
at most half an hour work to change such a picture this way. Why make things
difficult when you can do it the easy way.
