hello, this is actually fairly easy to do. index the image (<Image>Image-->Mode-->Indexed) and use the palette that you want from that dialog.
if you need to grab the palette from another image, it is a bit more complicated. i wrote a tutorial about it here: http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/palettes/howto.html hope this helps :) carol On 2002-11-14 at 1316.21 +1300, Thomi Richards typed this: > Hey, > > I have a small problem: > > I have an image, which is in a special 256 color palette, and another > image which is in true color.
