My problem isn't getting images to load, it's converting them all to use the same palette.

I can't combine separate elements that use different palettes - both images may use the same shade of blue but if it's assigned to a different place in the palette then one of the images will look wrong.

I can output iffs from PaintShop Pro that will load in DPaint fine, but when you load the frames in one at a time DPaint doesn't necessarily use the same palette each time.

I've seen people do it all the time in the coding section - put out different sprite sheets with various palettes to see which works best - I'm just asking how do people do this? I don't know where the function is to apply a set palette to multiple images. Can I do this at the Amiga end or do I have to do at the PC end?
