Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I wrote a program that creates images on the screen with a few colors, then uses image save to write the screen out in BMP format. The images have 5 colors, and the "black" I use is rgb(notblack).
When I read the image back in with LOAD BMP, I expected the notblack pixels to show up as "black", but in fact they show up as transparent. I thought the purpose of the notblack color was to provide a near-black value that would NOT be interpreted as transparent.
I am using mode 1,8 for both creating the image and reading it back. Any clues would be appreciated!
