I am pretty sure the "background" part is an artifact of the identify program, and not actually any information in the bmp file. AFAIK, the Windows BMP file format is just that: bitmaps. It does not store additional information such as the background color. I think the problem is that you converted from a format (gif) that stores information about backgrounds to one (bmp) that doesn't, and therefore the information got lost. If you try identify on the originals, you will probably pick up the correct colors. W -- Willie W.
