Gradiants displayed in Omnia

[Guest zanshin825]

Hi, guys. I've been experimenting with creating a few wallpapers for my Omnia, but for some reason when I create something with a gradient that looks great on my PC, the gradient degrades significantly, and I don't know why. I've tried saving these in every format that I think will work and with different resolutions, but the result is always the same. The gradient looks great on the computer and "choppy" on the Omnia. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

PC = 32 bit colors

WinMo = 16 bit colors :)

I tried saving down to 16 bit, and it was the same. Would that still apply?

Try:

jpeg

400x400

96 dpi

no compression

I have same problem, these settings are the best for me..

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Omnia's screen is 65K colors and not 16 bits.

So, I think it's normal.

Yeah, 65k colors always gets the gradient ugly. There's no chance to get a perfect gradient on the omnia.

Umm, you can get a perfect gradient, just dither to 16 bits, and then save - to any lossless format, like bmp or PNG

Thanks. Any idea how to do that in Photoshop? I've selected dither in the gradiant bar, but that's not doing the trick...thought you might know a different setting.
