SZENARIO:
Very often I capture web pages with Hypersnap and than I use the very useful function "Highlight" to mark good text passages. Unfortunality the Standard Color Resolution is "24 bits per pixel" so the speed of Hypersnap is slow (by actions e.g. scroll or higlight).

PROBLEM:
Every time I must change manuell for more speed the "Standard Color Resolution" to "16 bits per pixel" instead "24 bits...", because in the dialog "Bitmaps Copy Options" (if you choose "File" than "Copy format...") miss the option "... (16 bits per pixel)" !!!

Would you be so kind to add in the dialog "Bitmaps Copy Options" the option "...(16 bits per pixel)"?

It would increase the work performance with Hypersnap very high.

Regards
René

PS: My windows 2000 system runs with "True Color (16 bits)". Would you be so kind to make a auto function that read the color property of windows system, because in my case a higher property (24 bits) will not get higher quality...

Hmm, strange, most computers don't care much if the bitmap is 24 or 16 bit, will scroll and handle it just as fast... I avoided 16 bpp bitmap files, becuase some older versions of Windows could not read them. So if people saved 16 bpp bitmap and send to someone, they complained that HyperSnap was broke... I'll think about restoring save and copy in 16 bpp format now that WinXP is more popular.

In Germany are Win2000 very popular as WinXP, especially in companies.

Allways I save my picture in 16 bits as GIF file (because the function high colour does only work correct with 16 bits, not with 8 bits).

Rene,
if you save images to GIF format, they are all converted to 8 bits per pixel (max. 256 colors) or less. GIF format does not allow to save more than 256 colors in an image. For higher color resolution and better quality, save images in either BMP format (not compressed, big files) or PNG, which provides good compression and saves all possible colors.
