[ka-Map-users] Colour mismatch

[Paul Spencer]

Harry,

I've seen this behaviour in mapserver when the output format is 8 bit  
but the inputs are a higher colour resolution.  I think what happens  
is raster data can fill the colour table of the 8bit image and cause  
wildly inaccurate colours to appear.

Is it possible that you have jpeg or png24 selected in your map file,  
but png or gif in the ka-map config.php entry for this map file?  ka- 
map will override the mapfile output format.

Cheers

Paul
