/* picture looks fine). At this point I assumed that I could use One Pallette to combine the two pallettes and everything would be fine (56 + 130 is 180 colors, so the pallettes should combine fine without any fitting of colors needed). Well when I do this, the fine shades of gray shading of the original flick is ruined. The individual shades (which were dithered originally for a smooth transition) stand out dramatically, so instead of a smooth shading I get bands of gray. Why didn't this work, and more importantly, what can I do */ You ought to check out the NAAUG telecourses on ANI, Dennis. One of the first five treats palette control including the CUT/PASTE options you probably need to know about here. Section 14 on ACAD forum, do a keyword search for TELECOURSE and look for the files ANI1-A through ANI1-F, all .ZIP files. The problem you're describing is easily solved. -dave
