>Er... I think these are not quite right (in the video world, at least). It is generally accepted that "High Colour" is 16-bit and "True Colour" is 24-bit. My understanding is that 32-bit colour is a special mode used by some scanners and prepress software to improve the accuracy of final output 24-bit mode.

Hi Al,

According to my settings tab both 24 and 32 bit color are referred to as "True Color" and 16 bit is "High Color". I'm using 32 bit on the machine and made the assumption based on its reading that the next lowest would be "High Color". Thanks for the heads up.
