Now it will want to Optimize the photo


I sometimes use the max setting 255 to get the BEST PICTURE
but beware that one means it's slooow to load things!


Or you can move the knob 1 down to 127 colors and click Next then it lets you see it.


if it's what you want choose Next
then click on Finish


if it's not what you wanted
cancel it out (ctrl Z) and start over!




Now you should have a moving water picture that you can post to Delphi Messages
