Description
Currently, GrafX2 supports up to 256 colors. But some machines of the 80s had high color modes (>256 and <=65536 colors) that have no support on modern image editors. For example:
1) Modes with special restrictions
- Amiga HAM6
- MSX2+ screen-10
- MSX2+ screen-12
2) Modes without restrictions
- Sharp X68000 15bit
- Sharp X68000 16bit
- NEC PC-88VA 15bit
- FM-Towns 15bit

Humm, ok. And what about HAM6 and the MSX2+ then? They're able to cram more than 256 colors into 8bits/pixel or less (6bits/pixel on HAM6).

I mean grafX2 support 8bits per pixel palettized pictures.
Where each pixel is stored as a 8bits value which is an index in a 256 colors palette (each color being 24bits).
HAM is a special "true color" picture using 2 bits per pixel to select the "command" , so only one of the RGB componant can be changed. (the 4th command is to fetch the color from the palette)
The MSX2+ screen 12 is also using more thant 8bit per color, the pixels are grouped by 4.
Well GrafX2 is really a 8bits per pixel graphics editor.
