You can then use JPEG for your 24bit layers (providing you don't need your 24bit layers to be transparent). Using the "imageformat" parameter in the metadata, you can force these image formats on an individual layer basis.

<div>Jacob, the problem is that i DO need transparency (in IE) with 24Bit output. </div>
<div>As demonstrated here: <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://thickskin.dyndns.org/kamap/" target="_blank">http://thickskin.dyndns.org/kamap/</a> if you select the map with an 8 bit PNG, the color quality of my pretty picutres deteriorates.
</div>
<p>There is solution at <a href="http://koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/">http://koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/</a> but i need to delve into the code a bit more. </p>
<div>i welcome any other suggestions?<br> </div>

All my layers appears opaque on FireFox.<br><br><br> In my mapfile I set<br> IMAGETYPE png24<br><br> and config.php<br> "deakinPNG24" => array( "Deakin Marine Map (PNG24)", "/opt/Mapfiles/deakinbathy.map",
<br> array( 300000, 100000, 30000, 20000, 10000, 5000, 2000 ),<br> "PNG24"),<br><br> That's about it....<br><br><br><br> 2) Can I fix this problem with IE and PNG24, changing the format file to
<br> JPEG?<br><br><br> I tried that but jpeg didn't help<br> still scratching my head about 24 bit images and transparancy in IE :(<br><br><br><br> Thk 4 all.<br><br> regards<br>
