ADPRO / .BMP
This is the best advice I would give – Steve's problem is that the 16 colors
ADPro is picking are tuned to make the picture look its best, and are not the
16 default colors Windows is expecting. Windows attempts to match the colors
the best it can making the picture look ok – but different from its original
colors. To make them match exactly, tell ADPro to render using the same colors
Windows is expecting. This can be done as Mike Reed suggests by loading a known
good BMP file into ADPro, locking the palette, (you might even save this
palette in an IFF file so you won't need to load an entire BMP image again –
saving from the palette window tells adpro to save a palette in an iff file
with no actual picture in it making it very small and fast), then loading the
new image, rendering, and save.
