I forget who said this, but I heard it here<g> For using templates, use a picture thats' resolution (in pixels) is divisible by 4 in width and height (i.e. 320×240 or 40×280) I've used this little "formula" and never had any problems with templates 🙂 -Mike Johnson

In the spirit of helping, let me interject… Page 304 of the manual lists the files that can be imported…I don't know why PCX wouldn't work for you. Is your distortion you're talking about color? If it is, you could've inadvertently changed the color depth in your image when converting files. I did that once in PaintShopPro…changed a 24-bit JPEG to an 8-bit Targa…'ya ever see blue people?…I did when I brought it into A:M…then I discovered what I had done! I hadn't paid close attention to the option box in PSP and selected a previously used low setting. Kevin
