       Question! Does anyone know if there is an extant macpaint file of the iconic hello?

       @likesoldmacs Sadly it looks like it was never saved.

       @pierrenick @likesoldmacs It's interesting -- during the development of the Amiga, artists were contracted to come in and draw impressive and demonstrative digital art using versions of the first Amiga drawing program, "Graphicraft," so early on in its development that file operations had yet to be implemented. The drawings were completed, photographed by Commodore, and then lost to the ether when the system was powered off. It's amazing to contemplate, so groundbreaking were some of these works, carried out on a $1,295 consumer-oriented computer in 1985. One such example is "Four-Byte Burger" by Jack Haeger, here scanned from one of the Amiga 1000's manual covers. https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/50926604693/in/album-72157604421303889/Note the CRT scanlines in the image ... and their orientation.  #Amiga #Mac #vintageAmiga #vintageMac #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #pixelart

       Enlisted the cavalry and took a whirl at creating something myself, but keep getting hung up with "hello" half off the screen on the old Mac. This is via saving as in GraphicConverter. I think maybe a newer version of MacPaint on the 512ke would help, but kinda out of energy for tonight.(using @BasicAppleGuy wallpaper to start)

       That's the largest resolution I can find of it but something makes me think it has been edited to clean it up and brighten it too. Vs this one

       Progress! But will work on the base image to tweak it more like the original in scale.The fix? Just using the hand tool to drag up the half-off-screen 'hello'. 🥴

       Ok I think this is it, the 'right' hello, the right size, etc. Or at least as close as I'm going to get!
