How could a 256-color gif keep more data than a 16 or >32-bit JPEG? Jennifer, Although you most often lose data when indexing down to 256 colors, you always (I think) lose data when saving as a JPEG. Has to do with the compression scheme (referred to as "lossy") used in JPEGs. I'm sure someone will be happy to give a more technical answer if you need one. Dane
