Brad, the RGB8 you created in Imagine had NO dithering. So TAD/ADPro did right to not put any in (unless you tell it to). Remember that when you render an Imagine pic in 24bits (RGB8) and choose show, it automatically reduces it to an Amiga HAM mode with dithering, but the actual source has more color info, and no dithering. Imagine is just trying to let you take a peek at an otherwise undisplayable image (24bits). Rick (of Impulse) recently posted here that Imagine automatically shuts all dithering OFF when you select a 24bit image format. (even if you have it on in the objects, etc). You should be able to use the TAD/ADPro Floyd-Steinberg dithering, (or another) to get your nicely dithered image back. –jp–seattle–
