re anamorphic converter and quality

[animal]

Thanks for the responses.  Didn't explain myself very well.

I'm animating (adding graphic effects to) regular dv footage.

I don't have DVD Studio Pro and am working in regular tiff images for 
24fps not MPEG & DVD.

I know the frames remain the same size.  I'm just wondering if the 
squished skinny anamorphic footage - after being downloaded to FCP then 
exported as an image sequence of Tif images, will look good after being 
fixed in photoshop.

Also I know anytime you put a filter or add something on a camcorder 
lens you lose a bit of quality - but does anyone know how much quality 
you lose with an anamorphic lens?

Thanks
Lynn

All DV images--normal or anamorphic--use the same frame size.
The size depends on which system (NTSC or PAL) you use.
