Hi all and thanks in advance,
   I am writing an application that has alot of graphic processing. I
need to reduce the number of colors i am working with to preserve
memory.... in my program i create an image by using
createImage(int,int), and then do a getGraphics to allow me to draw into
this object. So in order to reduce the memory load i tried to creatimage
using a memoryimagesource and defining a new colormodel. now get
graphics will not work... it will only work with images created using
the (int,int) form of createimage. Is there anyway that i can create a
image i can drawinto that has a reduced palette? 24 bit color is nice
but makes it impossible to graphically lay out a 600 dpi 8x10 size
graphic for printing, using an indexed color model it is just over 23
meg... forget about it with rgba nd alpha channel....

Any suggestions?

right now what i am thinking about is go directly to the index color
model and work it out as numbers in a byte array... using a creatimage
with a mem img srce to actually view it.


Thanks again!!!
