Interesting, cluin, thanks. When I went into Corel (an older version) and chose to save a CPT, I then checked the only jpeg available which was jpgBITMAP which then autmatically opted for the "standard jpg compression" and wouldn't let me chang it. If I chose to save as windowsTIF, then the default was "uncompressed" or an "RLE" option. I also checked image properties and apparently it automatically goes to grayscale because that is what showed up and I hadn't done anything.

Thanks, again to both of you. I love learning at the Mudcat!
