Hi Jack, YG>The original Animator had 64-level sliders for RGB — I don't really remember why. At any rate, you still had 256-levels of RGB in reality, because it was outputting 8-bit color. – Jack GH> I believe a standard VGA (capable of only 640x480x16 OR 320x200x256) only had 64 levels of RGB (ie: 64x64x64) so it could only choose 256 colours from a possible 262,144…It's just I don't remember there being 64 levels on the sliders. I thought there were 256 levels on the orignal Animator….I suppose it dos'nt mattereveryone got SVGA cards now…This qusetion come in a class I was teaching about the importance and problems of video cards in Multimedia/Animation app's Thanx for the input GH.
