> Why would the colors not be exactly the same as seen on a monitor when using my TARGA card with a res of 512 x 480 ?. < Are you asking about a difference in viewing the same image in Photoshop and 3DS and seeing different colors? Pehaps your Windows configuration is not using the same color-depth as 3DS, or maybe the Windows palette is having an influence. If you're wondering why a printed image has different colors, well, this a field unto itself. The fundamental issue is the difference between projected light and reflected light. Among other things, the ambient lighting in your office will affect the color you see reflected off the printed image. As for the difference between your NTSC monitor and your RGB computer screen, take a look at the thread titled "?PAR/SCREEN Colors" in this same forum section. — James — Choreo Motion —
