Hi Wilhelm,Then, if I am correct, setting the global paintcompression to RLE then 'touching' a PNG image (getting and setting both the imageData and alphaData) will now set the image to RLE instead of the original PNG. Is this your understanding as well? I suppose I could just test this. If it

For those of you interested, here's a test stack which I've created which should demonstrate the anomally I previously mentioned regarding PNG gamma and the other formats.go URL http://www.gadgetplugins.com/chippstuff/testGamma.revI haven't tested it on a Mac yet, but the PNG image should be a

Very interesting thread.I'm wondering if paintCompression should be set to RLE in Rev as well? The reason I ask is because JPG, RLE and GIF do not have gamma settings, but PNG does. In other words, a PNG graphic will look different on Mac than on PC's. Try this easy test: create a gray 128,128,128
