- I can help you bit there on your border problem, but I'm pretty sure you
- will either need Deluxe Paint IV or some other paint program with a
- pallette changer as good as DPaintIVs. With Deluxe paint IV, you can take
- you background usuable picture in. Then you go to your pallette mixer.
- When it comes to your workbench, you are in great luck. Practically
- every digitized picture that I've ever encontered(ones that looked
- impressive at least) had at least 4 colors that were exactly the same
- or VERY near the first four(and very important) colors of your
- workbench screen. And alot of them are able to match the first
- typical eight colors of your workbench. Either exact or just a bit
- off.
- ---------- Anyways, I would use the pallette mixer to first,
- switch the colors in the first four registers with some colors in
- any of the other registers that would match the color of your workbench.
- When you look through your pallette, you would typically(on Workbench
- 2.0+) want to make it so that
- ythe first four registers make up
- number(color register) Red Green Blue
- 1. 6 8 8
- 2. 0 0 0
- 3. F F F < May want to make it E E E
- 4. C 9 6 < or some other orange or
- yellow color.
-
- Ok, afterwards, your picture looks muffed up. But don't PANIC!!!!!

-
- ------- Whew!! when it's over, you have to take each pari of colors you
- switched. I mean each pair of colors, making the first your foreground
- color and the other your background color. The, from the menu, you
- would choose FG<==>BG which will switch your foreground color and
- your background color(in the picture only). When you have finished al
- pairs, you should have the exact picture you had before, except WOW!
- The first four<at least) Are the exact same ones as my workbench!!!
- So it appears that you have a perfectly untouched workbench floating
- over a cool looking picture. I've already done this with quite a few pics
- and the more you do, the faster you can switch the colors around.
- I have anime pictures and neat VGA-scanned looking wildlife pictures
- I put as the background and my workbench looks exatcly the same, even
- with those 16 color limitations. Personally, I wish they had a utility
- that would just do the switching in public domain, but other than that
- , the Commercial paint utilities are the only things I know that can do it.
- I'm not sure about all of them, but DPaint IV works.

- ----- Hope this sheds the colors of the pallette in places those colors
- are needed.
