The only problem with that is that if they are less than 24-bit, FM adds all the colors in them to your colors list. :( After taking them down to 8 and saving them, you could probably take them back up to 24 with out making them too much bigger. Grant -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

Color list? You mean like FM's defined colors? I don't think so. We're talking digital photographs here, with millions of colors. The 8-bit limitation is just the bit depth of the file. FM doesn't do anything at all with the colors of graphics and the colors it defines it's a graphic file

I think we're using slightly different terms when describing the same files. In photos/photoshop, an 8-bit depth means 8 bits of red, green, and blue info. 16 million shades (256X256X256). Which is what I think you're calling 24 bit, meaning 3x8 bits. Files come out of my Nikons at 12-bit depth

Nandini, I am running SnagIt 8.01, but I never enabled the add-in; I always run it as a free-standing program and haven't had any problems (even saving as .png -- they write out 8 bits). Cheers, Art On 5/2/06, Nandini Garud [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Glad to possibly help you Art! I had trouble
