Used to use PSP 7 back in 2000 - ish. Thinking about your original question, I was a little short on detail. If you need a 1 bit (B&W) image but retain some sort of shading, you need to enable dithering. It all depends on how you want the final result. example see screenshot. rich: www.gimp-forum.net Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/691/original/dithered.jpg -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
