Brad, I generally render in ILBM-24Bit mode rather than RGB8-24Bit so that might have some affect, but I think it should be the same only you should use the Impulse loader for RGB8 and the IFF loader for ILBM. As John P. pointed out, the Auto Dither box in the projects menu only effects the show command in Imagine and does not effect the image data itself. Also, as near as I can tell (ask Rick Rodriguez to be sure of this), when renderring in 24-bit, the HAM switch doesn't affect the image at all. The HiRez switch (I think) affects the display mode. That is if your image size is 640 by 400 and HiRez is set, then it is a HiRez display mode and the size of a normal display. With HiRez not set, the same sizes would yield a LoRez display mode, but in a super bitmap size (i.e., bigger than the display). I'm not sure what happens when both HAM and HiRez are set as that really doesn't make sense. In any case, using the scale and screen controls in TAD you should be able to take in any image from Imagine and generate (in TAD) the exact size, display mode, and number of colors you want, subject, of course, to the limitations of the Amiga's display. I think, as John P. also pointed out, that you probably didn't use any of the ditherring options when you were in TAD. I personally favor the Floyd(1), Burkes(2), or Random(6). Hope this helped you some. For more info on wrapping, see my message to Mike Egan about Imagine Altitude Mapping. Terry T.
