Title.gif problem using Paintshop Pro 5

[iadkins]

I'm having trouble with Title.gif.
I scan an image from Agfa 1212U directly and from within PSP5, reduce colours to 256, save as gif;
then load my Civ scen (Gwani) and the Title.gif is all speckled out like the colour depth is wrong. But when I do the same thing but copy and paste my image onto a duplicate Title.gif from the Civ CD, which seems to have all the same properties as my fully created one, it works just fine!
Can anyone explain this? My work-a-round is annoying
Many TIA....

You've gotta use the standard civ2 palette. You can do this the easiest by opening a standard civ2 picture like units.gif, go to Colours->Save Palette.., save it as civ2.pal or something, then load your picture (preferably with still more than 256 colours) and press Colours->Load Palette.. and load the saved civ2.pal file. Save the title.gif and that's it!
