[R-390] BIT Images I Used

List,

the format was a good choice because it is NOT a bit image. [Snip]/
 
Not so Barry.
 
I use the PE elements image mode function to
change all my images to BIT files before I start editing the them as a TIFF
file. 
 
Because of all the crapola that is left after the
conversion I essentially redraw the entire schematic creating the electronic
symbols from scratch.  It’s very time
consuming but that is the only way I know how to make schematics that can be
enlarged without smearing.
 
There may be other or faster ways to do a
conversion but it’s the only one I know and it has worked on other schematics I’ve
done such as the R-390A heretic’s version.
 
When I went to Kinko’a to have some original large
size schematics digitized, they use the full version of PS which created a fine
looking reproduction on their monitor.  When I looked at them at home using PE elements instead, they were
awful.
 
What I found out after a bit of research is that
the full version of PS used saved the image as a native 16 BIT TIFF image.  However the native bit image created by PS elements
is an 8 BIT Tiff image.  So the 16 BIT is
not compatible with PS elements AFAIK.
