And, of course, if you don't already own Photoshop, Gimp can do most anything you need to do, though the learning curve is hard and the workflow isn't as efficient.

RE: displaying Bitmaps correctly
Thanks Michael, the change from BPP 8 to BPP 16 helped quite a bit, but the graphics are stil not as crips a regular PALM graphic and the colors are a bit grainy, the question then is: How are those graphics created and with what tools if not with photoshop? I need to create a bunch of icons and over 200 64x64 gadget graphics for my application.
