<SNIP> I'm not sure it will be possible to display your images at 256 colors with out some degradation as they require a 256 color pallette and 8-bit images created within the range of that pallette to interpret the color. if you intend to display at 256 colors all of your images will need to be converted to 8-bit and you will need to create or assign an appropriate pallette. even so passing 8-bit images over each other will probably push some of colors out of the range of your pallette (hence the awful colors). do you really need to be able to display at 256 colors? <SNIP> Thanks Chad, I wish I didn't even need to worry about displaying at 256 colors, it would make my job a whole lot easier and I'd feel a lot better knowing my images are being displayed accurately. I'd like to think that most of the users using my training CD would be displaying at least 16-bit color, but I've seen even at our location, a number of programmers who are quite happy to keep their displays at 256. I realize that I could try to change the end users display settings, but I heard some horror stories that make me very reluctant to try. Does anyone know of any user statistics websites that don't charge for information? How common is 16 bit or higher color settings?
