How can one capture a high res image of a waveform?

I need to supply a great quality image of audio waveforms for a Mona catalog of my work (being music, it is an invisible work in the art world, but has to be cataloged with an image and text)

I'm trying to find interesting pics of waveforms in hi res.
Not having much luck.
Anyone got any tips on where to look, there are plenty of great images on the net, but I don't want to get into copyright problems, so reluctant to go there.
I was thinking of doing a Protools desktop photo from my Mac, but the didgi waveforms dont look that spectacular.
Anyone got some advice where to look? - or what software has particularly really good images of waveform?

There's a program called 'photosounder' that makes spectral images of digital audio. I think from memory it comes out as a jpeg, but unsure of the resolution. I use to use it to make sounds out of photos because it works both ways.
Could be worth a look and depending on your spectral content of your audio could look more interesting than a waveform...?

Thanks Andy - downloaded the demo, exactly what I'm looking for.
TRock brains trust does it again!
Also found some great shareware programs that also do what I'm looking for.
Cheers!
