Any JPEG you produce will be 8-bit as well. GD stayed at 2.0.1 for quite a while (a year or more), which was a beta and had some serious bugs, but now it's being maintained again, and is up to 2.0.8... Unfortunately the PHP extension is broken and requires specific patches, so GD 2 support probably won't be widespread with ISPs until it's sorted out and stable... So you'll have to wait, or look into something like ImageMagick. -- Morgan Hughes C programmer and highly caffeinated mammal. kyhm@kyhm.com ICQ: 79293356
