You are kidding me, right?
I can't believe it. In this age, 256 colors just doesn't cut the mustard.
Oh well, free is free, ya get what ya pay for.
And here I was all excited about the GD library.
Thanks

You're right, the palette only holds 256 colors. The reason for this
is that GD was originally written for GIFs only. JPEGs were added on
later, and then PNGs were put in as a drop-in replacement for GIFs
(Patent issues). But the library was never extended to support high
color.
If you're using Unix, one alternative could be php_imlib.
