Problem printing GIF images

D6 / RB7.03

We are having a problem printing GIF images...

In particular we are trying to print a customer's logo on a yellow
background.

If we set Transparent to True, the non-colour specific part of the image
displays on screen perfectly but comes out BLACK when printed.

We have tried setting the RGB value of the non-colour specific part of the
image (using PhotoShop) to the same RGB value in RB to overcome this, but
there is a noticable difference between the two colours!

Is there anything we can do to get RB to handle GIF images correctly?

Thanks in advance,

Pete Colson

    Try updating to RB 7.04 or RB 9 and perform the same tests.

    Internally RB uses the freeware GifImage component to render the image as a
    bitmap and then draws the bitmap to the printer. RB 7.04 and RB 9 contain
    sime improvements to image rendering since over RB 7.03.
