    Default preLoadNetThing & image quality

    hi,
    i'm using 'preloadNetThing' to download an image and replace a member's
    fileName with that's image url (after i get a 'netDone' without 'netError' i
    set member(x).fileName = imageURL, when member(x) is originally linked to a
    local 1k gif).

    as we say, everything works fine except for one thing - the image quality
    that i get is very poor (i mean that if, for example, this image has the sky
    in it, the sky color turns into a 4 shades of blue gradient), even when the
    original image on my server looks fine (not top quality though), and i even
    check for the file in my temporary internet files, and even there it look
    fine.

    any suggestions???

    Default Re: preLoadNetThing & image quality

    it's maybe due to original member's depth (you're talking of a gif, so there
    are chances it's an 8 bit depth member, linked to a color palette)
