I'm in awe (and that's not a word I use). I can see why it affects everything down the line and even misled me. Cheers thats just what the doctor orderd!

I need to handle 'pnm' files because i'm using 'scanimage' to grab images from my webcams. Here's a little info on them.

Quote:
PBM, PGM, PPM or PNM images?

The PBMplus package is split into four distinct suites. PBM programs to handle bitmaps (1 bit per pixel), PGM programs to handle grayscale images, PPM programs to handle full colour images and lastly PNM programs which carry out content-independent manipulations on any of the three internal formats. PBM stands for Portable Bit Map, PGM stands for Portable Gay Map, PPM stands for Portable Pixel Map and PNM stands for Portable Any Map

EDIT: changed code tags to quote tags; the former were fscking up the page formatting
