Hi All,
Any ideas on the following using Windows and PS7.
1) Open an image
2) Image > Mode > Indexed Color
3) Image > Mode > Color Table: Save the table as test.act
4) Alt-PrintScreen to capture the Color Table menu.
5) File > New and paste in the clipboard so that now the Color Table menu is an image file.
6) With a binary file editor, open the file test.act and read off the first few values.
7) Using the Info Palette, put your mouse cursor over the table cells that correspond to the cells read from the previous step and note that values.
Here is what I got.
Color Table RGB Value RGB value in Info palette
5,254,255 8, 255, 255 and 0,247,255 22,251,255 24,247,255 and 16,247,255 19.248,255 16,247,255
8,248,255 8,247,255
Now my question is why the discrepancy between the RGB values in the color table and the values as picked up in the screen capture of the color table graphic?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
