Problem converting file to 256 colors Options

[cn]

Hello Peter,
I have a .tif file I am trying to convert from 2.5 million colors down to 256 colors. The file is 6k by 8k in size. I initially just loaded the file then tried to save as a .gif file but after letting the program run overnight, it still hadn't saved the file. I then tried to convert the colors to 256 values which did not work. PMView appears to start the conversion then loses the clock icon (returns to the normal icon) but nothing happens. All the normal menu items are greyed out. I have tried watching the threads to see if any of them were doing any work but it did not appear so.

Please let me know if there is something else I should try.

Chris

PS. The problem exists with PMView on both OS/2 and Windows. Thanks
