I was using Paint Shop Pro as well. I remember it handling single bit depth better than windows paint.....but you're right. I did the same as you described and it works......thanks.

I just made a bitmap in WinPaint, saved it, used PSP to set it to a 4 bit 16 gray bitmap, saved again, then reloaded it into Paint, then copied it into Constructor.
