256 color bmps need conversion help.
« on: May 17, 2014, 03:14:10 PM »
Earlier in the year somebody posted a link for a program you could use to convert PNGs to 256 BMPs.. Now I can't find the thread. Sound familiar to any of you skinners?
I use paint.net and paintshop pro IV other than that all I have is windows paint and when you use it to convert an image to 256 color bmp everything looks like crap.

The program you need is called Bright and you can get it from Simmer's Paint Shop here.

Any chance of a change to RGB DDS files in the future? This seems to be the format that most games now are using.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
