Wayne, I am agreement that what comes out is very important, however, just as a seperate Y/C signal will almost always look better than a composite signal, I am always looking for the best picture. I only looked at the bars shipped standard with every toaster, in ToasterPaint. Then I compared them to the bars shipped standard with Alladin Paint. Therefore the difference. The Alladin bars are 100/75 and the Toaster bars are SMPTE. However, RGB is RGB and therefore the question of why a "red" of rxgxbx can be different from a "red" of ryxygy. See what I mean? Now, the "Pluge" pattern… I figured there was a name for them, thanks alot. What I can't understand is that, in ToasterPaint the values of _bar1 and _bar2 are both 0 and the value of _bar3 is r9g9b9. Seems to me that (this is crazy) the encoder is turning a r0g0b0 into something else, which is crazy in the computer world, because as you probably know, it would take code that says 'hey these are our bars, let's invent a Pluge pattern'. See what I mean? It has to be there in the RGB. Love the technique in your article, thanks Wayne. -John
