   V1.4 (sorry never got around to uploading the previous versions)


Introduction:

   Got tired of having to put up with some of the "less flashy" backgrounds 
   that are out there, so. . .created these.  It's really amazing how many 
   pictures can be converted to ONLY 16 colors and not loose much of their
   detail.                      ^^^^^^^

   These backgrounds were put together using Art Department Professional 
   and are on 640X400 size screens.  The standard MagicWorkBench palette was 
   used with the exception that one of the greys was turned to a green.  
   The following pallette settings where used to maximize colors available 
   without loosing MagicWorkBench compatability: 


                        RGB settings
 
                     ----------------
       color 1       :  7 :  7 :  7 :
                     ----------------
       color 2       :  0 :  0 :  0 :
                     ----------------
       color 3       : 13 : 13 : 13 :
                     ----------------
       color 4       :  3 :  5 :  8 :
                     ----------------
       color 5       :  5 :  6 :  5 :
                     ----------------
       color 6       :  8 :  8 :  8 :
                     ----------------
       color 7       : 12 : 10 :  8 :
                     ----------------
       color 8       :  9 :  4 :  5 :
                     ----------------
       color 9       :  7 :  7 :  7 :
                     ----------------
       color 10      :  0 :  0 :  0 :
                     ----------------
       color 11      : 13 : 13 : 13 :
                     ----------------
       color 12      :  3 :  5 :  8 :
                     ----------------
       color 13      :  5 :  6 :  5 :
                     ----------------
       color 14      :  8 :  8 :  8 :
                     ----------------
       color 15      : 12 : 10 :  8 :
                     ----------------
       color 16      :  9 :  4 :  5 :
                     ----------------
   
   The above palette does real well with most any picture with flesh
   tones being the hardest to get right.


System Info:
   
   I use these backgrounds on an Amiga 2000HD with 030/25/8, ECS, and 
   3.0ROM.  Also inside is a 1.2GIG SCSI2 Micropolis harddrive/2091 
   hardcard combination and its all hooked up to a 1084 monitor.  

   The harddrive and ram icons where made from pictures I digitized 
   with my Vidi24RT. 


Closing:

   I've got LOTS of backgrounds and if this package generates any 
   interest I'll upload groups of them.  If anyone is interested in
   learning how to make their own, I'd be happy to tell them what I 
   know.  Contact me at the E-mail address below.
