Hi, I having a problem with CanDo that a few of you Guru's out there may be able to help me with. I'm digitizing black and white pictures and then trying to show them using buttons on CanDo cards. However for some reason I can't get any of the pictures to show. They are stored in DPaint III format and I can easily get other DPaint drawings displayed, but not these. Originally I thought it was because CanDo doesn't seem to can it's pen colours to match those of the DPaint III drawings (please tell me if this is possible !!), so because there are only a couple of grey and black tones in the CanDo pen colours it would have trouble displaying a totally grey scale image. So I labourously went though and used SetPen to exactly match the colours on the DPaint III picture - i.e. when you click on the button the pen colours are reset before trying to show the pictures. While this seemed to clear up one error I still can't get the pictures loaded. Also I'm pretty sure it's not a memeory problem becuase the digitized pictures take up less memory than other DPaint III drawings that I've managed to load. Please e-mail me any advice you have - I need to have the CanDo deck finished in a week so things are getting rather urgent !!
