Ya, II've noticed that SHR Convert adds a dither of some sort to the conversion, which means that the resultant picture is, technically, not the same as the original. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but he uses it as a feeble attemt to improve the quality of the image after a poor quantization, which isn't a good thing. :( >The 3200 color version is essentially the best features of both.

It creates 16 color pictures that look as good as some of the 3200 color pictures I've seen. No joke--they are absolutely the BEST LOOKING 16 color pictures I've EVER seen on a GS! Jonah
