Hi Bob,

I did come across your thread on the Borland forums and started to think about this.

Indeed, gray JPEG images don't have a palette, but when displaying on windows, it is very common to create a gray palette where every entry has the same value for the RGB components. This saves on memory rather than using true color.

The JPEG support in Envision (and many JPEG software including Delphi) is based on the "independent jpeg group library" which handles the conversion automatically from a palette to the JPEG "format". Other than that, there is not much else to worry about.

Best regards,

Michel
