Pixel Joint Forum: color issue

Message

   I use Photoshop for making Pixels. Sometimes, when I save a GIF file, this strange thing happens to the color count:

This image is meant to have 57 colors. It's the same sprite, using an 8, 16 and 32 color palette... (all colors are unique)

Anyone knows why is photoshop doing this?

	When you make a new file your icc profile is wrong for pixelart. Download any art from my gallery and open in PS and see what icc profile that has and use it for your pixels.

	I analysed a few pieces... 1- Lonely tower: I did it for the world map challenge. 15 colors. When I save as GIF, it displays the 15 colors correctly. 2- LeDali II - Crystal Egg (Yours): same specifications on the "save for web" window. Correctly displaying 57 colors (after I changed Indexed colors for RGB) 3- My last work... Over 200 colors on the "save for web" screen. (I managed to keep the original colors with a 64 palette. Below that, it gets weird) However, the setup seems to be the same on the 3 pieces...

	Photoshop usually does pretty well with colours in Indexed mode if they're actually correct. Are you sure you haven't accidentally been using any anti-aliased tools, blending modes, etc? If you post one of your images (perhaps as a PSD so we can see the original data), it might be easier for others to find the problem.
