@ommadawn
You can't get rid of the pixels. You are probably working with a photo picture with a lot of "natural" color variations. Basically what happens is this: The image contains true color. The phone can only display a defined set of 256 colors. When you load the palette, and convert the image to indexed (in photoshop), photoshop will try to select the closest matching color from the 256 color palette. When dithering is used, photoshop will set several nearby pixels to specific colors to create an overall effect of the actual color used in the original image. Since when you do that, several pixels are used to display a color of one pixel, you get a grainy (pixelated) effect (just like mosaic - if you stand close it's looks like a random mix of dots, if you step away - you begin to see the image).

From my experience, you might be better off saving the file as GIF. While the colors might get a little synthetic look, the presense of these "white dots" you refer to, will be minimized. For some reason these "white dots" show up much more in photo images saved as JPEG then GIF when viewed on T68.

Are you sure this is 256 colors? It looks like 16 to me...
When you are going to convert the image, you should first size it to fit on the screen (T68), then change the image mode to "indexed". When you choose indexed, a palette dialog-box pops up. Then, just make sure it's gonna index to 256 colors, load the pallete, use the apropriate dithering and press OK. When you've done that, you will be able to save to GIF at once. If you want to save to JPEG, you might have to switch the image mode back to RGB first.

Can you not just resize it them rate it as a gif, like wrath says? Thats what I've been doing for ages and it comes out fine most of the time. I don't even bother with the pallete. This message was posted from a T300
