He said he doesn't want to convert his large collection of jpg to iff, just load them into DPaint transparently.
Datachrome is what you want.
I may have datachrome at home somewhere . It was not on Aminet, but commercial software that I got on a cover CD. I'll pmail you if I have it..
DTConvert does the same job and is freeware. However, I don't think it supports 24 bit datatypes, so the jpg will be converted to 8 bit first I guess.
