I need to use graphics created on a PC on my Toaster. I tried a test and it did not work. Here are the steps I used. Maybe somebody can help me identify my error. 1. Convert 256-color GIF graphic to IFF. (I used a new shareware program called JASC MEDIA CENTER. I also have but did not try Hijaak 2. Both programs are on my PC.) 2. Put IFF file on a low density disk and put disk in my Amiga. 3. Use CrossDos to read disk. Icon shows disk name. 4. Start Toaster. Start Toaster Paint. 5. Open File with LOAD RGB. The file loads but is very very distorted. Is the root of my problem that the orginal was only 256 colors? I look forward to any assistance that the members of this forum can provide. Wes
