Try doing flesh tones in GIF;-) The original main use of GIF was actually natural imagery, and probably quite a lot of flesh tones. With random dithering and a custom palette, it can actually do quite well - you should not judge it by paintbrush GIF standards. JPEG is better for subtle gradations and size, although it doesn't like hard edges. PNG can do palettised or non-palettised images. > -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
