I couldn't figure out the problem. Sorry, It must be the .bmp thing. I didn't think of that because they were only 8k apiece, but I can see why you'd want to avoid the really big ones. It'd be nice if the error message told you that in the preview pane. Oh well. > > Which one looks better? Now I'm not an official reviewer, but I'd > > have to say your part gets my vote.

Wow, did you intentionally put that condescending tone in there, or am I reading too much into it? Must be the nasty blinky red error message that's gotten to me. I hate blinky text. Anyhow, my non-LSC-member (and thus pretty much worthless) opinion is that the dithering requirement should perhaps be relaxed to more of a recommendation than a requirement. After all, even the ldraw.org parts tracker doesn't use the original LDRAW.EXE to render the parts. It uses something more like a portable open source reference implementation of LDRAW.EXE. LSC members, lead us... Have fun, Don
