so you might be talking about (a light just turned on) a number that represents a color that has four parts. doh. except when you are still limited to 256 this will really effect the actual colors and make the image less eh, colorful after the indexing is done. meaning if all those shades of alpha need a different color from the 256 that can be used then less real colors can be used. is this how that works? carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
