Yes, this makes sense with 4 colours, but much less with 16 or 24 bit (when scanning for black is $00000001 still black or does scanning stop there?). When doing a graphics program it hopefully has the image in an internal format it can understand. I'd suggest scanning this off-screen bitmap instead of on the screen (if the image doesn't fit on the screen, should the flood fill stop at the visible borders? I guess not). Anyway, I guess we won't see Photoshop for SMSQ/E anytime soon ;) Marcel _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
