Get the effect of aging in old photographs, or make your pictures look classic and use the black-and-white effect, etc. I run G4 10.4 or 10.5 looking for way to halftone a picture to print in BW, NOT INTEL. Any ideeas I do NOT have photoshop. A site letting me up load the pix and dl it back in halftone would work just fine. Thanks. G'day Jonas I think you're looking for greyscale printing - newspapers did indeed use a low res BW halftone screen - about 80 lines per inch I think and black ink only which gave the appearance of tone to the human eye by varying the size/distance between dots. This was analogue imaging though and digital is very different but your image editor should have the ability to convert an image to greyscale - 256 levels of grey calculated from the RGB channel values - and your printer dialogue should have the option to print in greyscale only - I have three printers and I know that at least two have this option.

G4 DA won't boot into 9.1
Ok, so, is there some minimum OS 9 requirement for a G4 DA to boot into 9? Here is what occured. I found an old hard drive of mine that had 9.1 on it, and I installed it in the G4. Upon restart, the hard drive was visible in the Finder; in fact, 2 drives appeared--- I think i must have made a small emergency boot partition on this drives years ago [2004 is when I last used it]. Now, first question. Was I supposed to press some sort of reset button or cuda switch when I installed the drive? Is it too late? I see 2 small buttons on the front of the mac under the power button. 2nd question. The Panther install this mac has did not seem to have any OS 9 on it whatsoever. I had copied a 9 i had on an iBook, but, it gave error messages launching classic so I gave up on it. So tonite, I renamed that 9 to previous system folder, then copied the system folder from my old hard drive to my boot drive. It launched Classic but did not want to launch Classilla--said could not find 'find by content' and other missing components. I REALIZED that 7 years ago, I had turned off a lot of extensions; so I had to turn all on in the Classic preferences. Ok, so now, Classic is running fine, but, still no botting into 9 even when I set the System Preferences to boot into 9 from the correct folder. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

It must be at least 9.1, but there's a catch, not all 9.1 is the same. The DA needs a file called Mac OS ROM that's at least version 6.7.1 or newer. If your 9.1 installation has an older version of this file it probably won't boot. You might be able to upgrade to 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 and get a newer ROM file that way, IF the ROM file version # is the problem. There are other possible problems, such as the System may need to be blessed to boot? If the System folder is missing the Happy Mac icon it's not blessed. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Greetings, To answer your question regarding the two (2) buttons on the front, under the power button - they are: 1. On the left is a: Reset button -This button forces the computer to restart. Use the reset button only when you cannot restart your computer with any of the recommended methods. 2. On the right is a Programmer’s button -This button interrupts the normal operation of the computer’s software. Only computer programmers should use this button.
