For each screen? 8-[ ]
If you’re talking about inversions, then I told you that it’s better to use Screen Optimazer, it
automatically removes them (inversions).

Well, what did you want? ZXC is not a magician, after it the squares are very clearly visible, you have to do a lot of smoothing. All the same, IMHO it is much more productive than drawing by hand, spending 1-2 days on a screenshot. And you don’t need
hire an artist :) And the quality is better than the best inlight works ;)

Here Sava Magic made a program for processing pictures after ZXC - is it necessary?
Sava - do you mind? You can throw it yourself right away! ;)

I haven’t used mine for a long time :)
The SO4.2 program was running in the echo, screen opimaizer, that is, that’s what I use,
though you have to press a lot of buttons while you process one picture, and if it
is some kind of flick :-[ ]
