using TVRD(true=0) with a 24-bit image and decomposed=0 [message #38792]

To all IDL color-masters,

I am trying to simply read an image that was originally plotted like
this:

tv, image

where image is a 2D byte-array of colors IN MY CURRENT COLORTABLE; ie,
numbers from 0 to 255. However, I am on a 24-bit display. I have
device, decomposed=0
and backing-store set on retain=2.

If i do this:

im2 = tvrd()
tv, im2

I get way more color=255 than I should; i do not get back the precise
original image. I understand that I can get the RGB triples by doing
tvrd(true=1), but *I don't want the RGB triples*. I just want the
simple numbers from 0 to 255 that I originally plotted. How do I get
them using tvrd()?

Thanks anyone who can help with this!
