Re: Image Newbie Question

Many thanks everyone, I will rescan
at highest possible resolution
and then try out some algorithms
from what I learn on the web.

My language of choice is APl2 which
allows me to quickly try out several ideas.

I will download the SBIG reference.

This area of processing is of interest
so I probably want to learn more
before proceeding.

I do have an old copy of
"Photographic Imaging Techniques in C++"
by Craig A. Lindley.

Any suggestions on an introductory
textbook that is not too mathematical
would be appreciated (yes, I know, probably
aren't any).

Again many thanks.

Jim
