Datatypes with os3.1

[jmbattle]

May I ask what happens when you attempt to select the image for use as a background?  If Multiview is also unable to show the image, it is perhaps a problem with the file format - datatypes can be a little fussy at times.

Try opening and re-saving the file in an Amiga paint program such as PPaint.

Kind regards,

Again, PPaint's internal JPEG loader does a reasonably good job of downsampling 24bit images to 8bit - just ensure that Floyd-Steinberg dithering is selected in the preferences.

Cheers,
