Increase the Color Depth of Your DisplayWhen viewing images through a Web browser or graphics program such as Paint Shop Pro, you may notice that some graphics look sharp and clear while others look grainy or mottled. The graininess is caused by dithering. Dithering is a technique your system uses at low color depths to display images that contain more colors than the video system can display. Dithering provides the best possible color approximation. But there is a better way for most of us.Most video cards can display "High Color" (16-bit or 32 thousand colors). However many of these cards are set to only display 256 colors. If your card has two megabytes of RAM, it may be possible to increase the color depth to "True Color" (24-bit or 16 million colors). You will want to select the best color depth possible. Keep in mind that selecting 24 bit color may limit your desktop size to 640 by 480 pixels (large size). Choosing 16 million colors may be the better choice for those who prefer using a more moderate desktop size of 800 by 600. For Windows 3.1x, this can be done through Windows Setup in the Main group. For Windows 95, your system's video settings can be changed by selecting Control Panel>Display>Settings. Please contact your vendor for more information. |
