Is there any way to get ps.map (or any other
of the same family) to create a postcript with 24-bit
colors? I need to print it with a vector file
overlaid.
Thanks

Hi Agus
ps.map prints in 24-bit, as long as your printer supports it. We get great
results with an Apunix dye-sublimation printer package (Mitsubishi printer).

Are you positive? I look at the ps file with ghostscript prior to
printing and the image does not look the same quality that when the rgb
file is displayed with a program with 24-bit display (i.e., Multispec).
Is d.rgb generating a 24-bit image? Maybe the problem is there.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Agus,
I guess my response is, no, I'm not positive. Images created using ps.map
and printed on a 24-bit dye-sublimation printer are _definitedly_ more
than 8-bit, but they could be something less than 24-bit. They _look_
like "true-color" to me, though. Are you sure that ghostscript is capable
of displaying 24-bit, regardless of whether the PostScript image is?
I suppose I could look in the trusty PostScript reference manual to
finish this debate... 
Regards,
