Thanks for your reply.

also helped me find a solution.

-- I reduced the number of colours in my TIF file to 64 (using =
'IrfanView')
with no real effect on how it looked. This left plenty of extra colours
available for the raster layers and also vastly reduced the size of the
raster (from 50MB to 13MB).=20

Hi all,
I'm using MapLab 2.1rc3 with MapServer 4.x (as part of ms4w) on Windows
2000, SP4.=20
I've successfully created a WLD file to display a TIF raster file (yay!) =
-
however when the raster is displayed the entire map (not only the =
raster,
but all other layers as well) is rendered in grayscale.=20
I notice in the MapLab documentation it says that MapServer's built-in
support for TIF does not include support for "tiled, 16bit, RGB, or odd
color models". Could this be why it is not displaying in colour? When I
converted the image from JPG (which it was originally) to TIF, I saved =
it
from PhotoShop in 8-bit CMYK. I don't know what constitutes an 'odd =
colour
model'.
Is there perhaps a Style Object I need to include? The Class Object is
essentially empty, as you can see in the relevant mapfile snippet below. =
I'm
afraid I'm still not terribly clued up on the application of Classes to
other Objects.
