Quote:Thanks Mark. I'll send them within the next hour.
They should be black/white images. They are 'captures' from a palm pilot used to grab customers signatures for my Invoice app.
The text should be black on a white background. They all show up perfectly in Acdsee image viewer and MS Paint.
Thanks again for your attention and support.

From looking at your files, I see a strangeness in their format. About half the programs I have used will not load them. Two of will them load them, but complain, and one loads them (without complaint) but when writing them changes the format. One loads it, but because of the additional planes, believes it to be a true color image (it isn't).
These are single plane monochrome 32-bit .bmp files. Usually a single plane format is an 8 bit image (in that the 24 bits are not actually used).
That's the bad news. The good news is that loading these into just about any non-microsoft image editing program and then saving it again (as a .bmp) will save it as single plane 8-bit .bmp, or a three plane 24-bit .bmp (either is okay with Sesame). I tried this with the image editors: xnview, Kodak Imaging, and Gimp. Unfortunately, it won't work in MSPaint.
The problem Sesame is having with it is that it sees the other 3 planes worth of data and uses them to set the color. But since they are uninitialized values, they "paint" as odd colors.
