Has anyone here gotten a DPS PAR to accept 256 color IFF's? Whenever I try to load an 8 bit image I get a requester that says it can only load 1, 8, or24 bit images. I've tried 8 bit images generated with LightWave (alpha channel), AdPro, and Brilliance and it won't take any of them. What gives?

Jeff: Not much help, but my PAR (also V2.10) Imports 8-bit images no problem. Loaded 24-bit image into ADPro and saved out as 8-bit. Perhaps a call to DPS is in order? Trent/ReAnimators

Trent, Have you tried importing the 8 bit images LightWave saves as alpha images? I've got a jopb coming up in about 3 weeks that's going to require a lot of multi-pass rendering to do in a reasonable amount of time and I want to try to get all the details worked out in advance so I don't get stuck on a problem like this while my client's breathing down my neck to get the job done.

Jeff, It doesn't work for me. My PAR (2.10) will NOT accept Lightwave alpha 8 bits. I have to batch "Grey to Color" in ADPro and its a pain. Mark C.

Anyone else have a problem with deleting project names with PAR 2.10? I get an error of some sort that the software tries to correct but I am left with an empty drawer that can't be removed. Joe Maulucci >>> Accadia Electronic Arts AMIGA DTV & DTP BBS 1-716-882-1774
