Technetium	Just wondering... If an image is 8-bit, that means it can only have up to 256 colors, right? The F.A.Q. says that the PCX format is limited to 8-bit, but I have PCX images that I use which contain far more than 256 colors (640x480 images which did not appear to change saving it as a PCX from the layered PSD version).

Alex	PCX's aren't limited to 8 bit... So I suppose the FAQ must be mistaken... Maybe it's an intentional mistake by Zip to keep us on our toes... :) Posted on 2004-09-05 00:36:48

Zip	Tech. This is a link that I put with PCX in the faq that clearly states I was talking bollocks: More information Wikipedia Links are for clicking on and proving I can't transcribe information correctly. As a side point, anyone who admits to using 24bit PCX needs their head examined. By the picky police. (As a less arsey and moar educational note, the PCX 24bit format is comparitavely recent, and all traditional uses are of 8bit palletted colour, for instance the the original verge chr format) Zip Note to future readers: Feel free to edit this post for bullshit.
