This relates to a couple different threads that have been going on
regarding the color swapping problem in the new version of Constructor.
I understand that the developers are working on a fix for this, but for
those of us who can't wait (and don't want to switch to a different OS!)

PROBLEM : When editing an 8-bit (color) bitmap, then opening it again
for editing,
on some Microsoft OS's, the colors are sometimes mixed.

WORKAROUND: When a bitmap comes up with the colors mixed (say you wanted
brown and it comes back up as blue), find a pixel on the screen of the
same color as the WRONG color that came up (say, blue).  Now choose that
same color as your foreground color, and paint over the incorrectly
colored pixel.  (It will change to your background color, usually
white).  Color over it again, and it will change back to blue.  Now you
can close the bitmap editor and bring the bitmap back up.  The correct
colors will be displayed in the bitmap.  Now you can close and open the
bitmap as much as you want, and the colors will stay the same.  If you
happen to need to modify any of the pixels, you will need to follow this
process again.

Hope this helps,
