Since I obtained Giffer 1.06, I've been having great fun looking at 
nifty color pictures.  I noticed you can save the gif pictures into
the res id=0 pict format, i.e. a PICT resource which can then be
pasted into the StartupScreen's PICT resource, thus giving you your
favorite picture as a startupscreen.  However, when doing this I loose
a great deal of color resolution.  The original picture was done in
256 colors, but the PICT lookes like 16 colors.  Why have I lost    
resolution in this process?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
