Hello ! I make my backdrops with Pixia but when I import them the color became blurred. When I work under Pixia no problems. I first make an pxa file and them a 320*200 24 bitys bmp files.

May be that's the problem!
Thank in advance for the advice !

By "colors became blurred", do you mean this image gets fuzzy, or the colors change to something wierd? It's been I while since I've used OHR, but if it's the later, I suggest you make your images around the OHR colors. Where's that palette...:

Almost forgot I had that. I'm not sure how that program works, but in Paint, you can open this up and copy your image over it to see what colors work, I think.

Before switching programs or anything, I'd suggest reimporting the backdrop(s) with all colours on the palette omitted, except for just those ones you explicitly want to come through. Sometimes I've reimported the same backdrop, like eight times, lol, just to get the colours the way I want in the OHR.

Hum hum... It seems that my problem comes from the choose of the colors. Could somoene give some tips to notice that the colors are not the one in custom and how can I be sure that I am not using too many colors.

thanks in advance for the help !

One thing I do (bearing in mind that I work in Photoshop) is to Index my picture beforehand with one of the OHR Palette files you can download from the OHR home page. Then, set it back to RGB, and voila! A 24-bit image that uses exactly the colours that the OHR does.
