Hello,

I've been looking at the C64 pictures contained on the Walnut Creek CD
and was quite surprised at how good some of the pictures were for the
1980s.  I'm used to great C64 art, but associate the quality of some of
these with a later time period.

The pictures I was looking at were in either Koala Painter or Doodle
format and I was wondering if there were other tools that exported to
these formats?  I assume this to be true for Doodle because some of them
are scans or video captures, but couldn't find any.  I'm particularly
interested in whether some of the pictures could have been created on an
Amiga or other system and saved to one of these formats for display on
the C64.

If anyone is interested, the pictures can be seen here:
