PUB2002: Washout Image Disappears When Changed to Black and White (285363)

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because changes made to an image are cumulative; that is, new changes are added to old changes that you have made. When you use Washout on an image, the colors of the image are lightened. When you change the Image control color setting to Black and White, Publisher detects only white, and the image disappears.

For an example of this behavior, follow these steps:

1. Start Publisher.
2. Open a blank publication.
3. On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click From file.
4. In the Insert Picture dialog box, select an image from your files, and then click Insert.
5. Make sure that the focus is on the image.
6. On the Format menu, click Picture.
7. In the Format Picture dialog box, click the Picture tab.
8. On the Picture tab, select Washout in the Color list under Image control, and then click OK.
   
   Notice that the image is now washed out (lightened).
9. On the Format menu, click Picture.
10. In the Format Picture dialog box, click the Picture tab.
11. On the Picture tab, select Black and White in the Color list under Image control, and then click OK. Notice that the image disappears.

NOTE: Click the Reset Picture icon on the Picture toolbar to make the image reappear.
