Steven: >> I understand there are software solutions available that will create a "Super Pallet" of 256 colors based on those most frequently used and color fix the rest. I would prefer a Windows-based solution. << We do a lot of work in Authorware; I have the following suggestions: 1) Use the default Windows 256-color palette, if possible: it's an incredibly well-heeled palette, and is appropriate for most any purpose. 2) Use Photoshop to generate custom palettes: create a big RGB image and place representative images from your different objects into it. Convert to indexed color, and save that palette. (You'll have to run the results, such a GIF file, through Animator Pro to save the palette for optimization in 3D Studio renderings.) Martin
