1. palettes

I suppose I'm repeating myself now , anyway....

  Does anyone know how to load multiple *.gif images with different
 palette values [assignments] onto the same screen and have them displayed
 in their correct colours simultaneously ?

  The paletteData is always available for each *.gif after being loaded.

  Presently I imagine that one needs to re-assign palette values or have
 some type of translation table for each *.gif ; how tedious.

2. Re: palettes

To view images with completely different palettes simultaneously you
must use a video mode that doesn't have a palette.  16-bit or 24-bit color.
24-bit is true-color.  Both modes can be reached using Neil.e by Pete
Eberlein.

If you are using a 256-color graphics mode, then you must remap all the
images to a common (shared) palette.  This common pallette can be a standard
palette (eg. Windows palette) or a custom palette which best fits your
images.  If you search the Euphoria archives you will find several programs
which should help you.

4. Re: palettes

I'm limited , presently, to 256 colours ; from a palette of 256000.
  I downloaded Neil.e awhile ago , this is quite a comprehensive piece
 of software.
  I'd very much like to have 16,24,32-bit , or greater ? , colour
 range ; this is something for the future.

  Unlike some , I don't suffer from colour blindess , though my vision
                  -----
 is slightly impaired ; I still perceive subtle shades and hues.
