HIT: Tech: Digital Picture Distortion

[Marilyn Harfst <harfst@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

I received the solution to my digital picture distortion problem. I had =
asked what would cause digital pictures in a PowerPoint slide show to =
look like they had been colored with a crayon or watercolors.=20

The problem was that the computer's color palette setting needed to be =
changed from 16 bit to 32 bit (millions of colors). Here is how to =
change the setting on a PC.=20

1. Right-click on the desktop and select Properties.
2. On the Display Properties dialog box, select the Settings tab.
3. Under Color quality click on the drop-down arrow and select Highest =
(32 bit). Click Apply then OK.

I also found this website that gives a good explanation of colors on a =
computer.

How many colors are there?

Thanks to the LM_Netter's who took the time to answer my question. As =
