And the only reason the scrapbook had the right palette was because it had just been set by Giffer before I pasted it in. When I went back to verify what you said, there was my picture looking like a scene from a bad seventies sci fi flick. Other replies gave the same hack as you for getting the color out of a PICT. Just imagine if Kodak had the same attitude about color film. 'Yeah, you can take color pictures with our film but we cannot guarantee that the colors will be those in the original. Sure we know the right colors, but that's proprietary information! Thanks for the reply... Jim (aka the better connected half, Sue) Margarit
