Rose,

If you have a 24-bit display, try this in a new IDL session:

;- Set display to 24-bit decomposed mode
device, true=24, decomposed=0, retain=2
if !d.n_colors le 256 then message, '24-bit mode unavailable'

;- Open a window
window, /free, xsize=950, ysize=700

;- Display the first GIF
read_gif, 'file1.gif', image, r, g, b
tvlct, r, g, b
tv, image, 0, 0

;- Display the second GIF
read_gif, 'file2.gif', image, r, g, b
tvlct, r, g, b
tv, image, 475, 0

Cheers,
Liam.
