Subject: Re: FLASH: problem: pngs appear very dark


I have been having the problem with them being to dark, but it wasn't

just in Flash.  A few other graphic programs brought them up the same

way.  I have not had this problem with other file types in Flash.  JPGs

and GIFs all come up correct. I am on a Mac, so I can't use BMPs so I

can't say for those.  As I stated before, the only work around I have

found is to lower the contrast and up the brightness before saving as a

png in Photoshop.  It is a matter of testing and adjusting your eye to

know how it should look in Photoshop before export to look correct in

Flash.  I am hoping that future upgrades to the png format will fix

this?
