Any suggestions for the rules, etc.? Suggestions : 1) No touch ups by hand 2) People are very welcome to submit tips to get the best result with a certian converter 3) Strict ascii -- not ansi or extended ascii 4) Converter must be freely available to artists - No internal beta's 5) People must understand that a pure conversion is not art .. because no skill is involved - It IS however a helpful tool creating images that a skillful artist can refine and add to - Such refining IS art. Also it would be nice for people to discuss algorithms and techniques for creating the best images so the in the end someone (maybe you Markus) can create an even better converter > Markus > > PS: I think it was most interesting if people would not only use those > software converters but also create or refine those images by hand. Me too. Regards CeeJay
