Use a software assisted screen mode on the Amiga which is more of an equivalent to Spectrum 512 (e.g. Dynamic HiRes) rather than HAM6 and you'll get identical results.

Out of interest.. how did you convert your spectrum 512 pics to HAM-6?

You are right about Dynamic HiRes. It was available in mid to late 1989 via Digiview gold. The New Tek Demo reel 3 looked great! Dynamic HiRes offered Amiga High Resolution BUT only 16 colors per scan line- similar to how the the Apple IIGS displayed graphics. SHAM which has HAM-6 per scan line- was 1990 at the earliest. Even SHAM though wouldn't convert these pictures perfectly- because I have more than 16 colors on a scan line seperated by the color black. And black R0 B0 G0 can not be modified to Cyan R0 B7 G7 without another "false" color being modified first. Sadly, my conversion program will not convert to SHAM, only HAM-6.
