I am writing a direct 32 bit PICT from an application. The problem is that Adobe Photoshop reads it as an indexed (256 color) PICT. Anyone know why? How does Photoshop decide whether the PICT is direct or indirect? I've hex dumped the file. It has all the necessary Pixmap fields to indicate that it is a direct 32 bit PICT (eg. Pixmap type = 16 (direct), component count=3, component size=8, pixel size = 32). Also other programs (another application of mine) and PICTViewer reads the file ok. This does not happen with ALL the PICT files that I write, only SOME of the direct files are read as indexed. Olaf Lubeck 505-667-6017 oml@lanl.gov
