boy do I feel stupid, reading the help file again closely I see POV also
supports PGM (portable gray map) I guess I didn't notice the subtle
difference between that and PNG (yeah that sounds good, they'll beleive
that). I'm not sure if Photoshop supports it (I'm at work right now) but
even if it doesn't paintshop pro allowed me to save one in ASCII format
which POV would read (woohoo) and the Ascii format is pretty simple (bigger
woohoo) and I can write a simple program to convert RAW output from
photoshop into PGM for POV (biggest woohoo)
Thanks to all
Tim
