Default Re: What picture editing program?

You can use any graphics editor that can create BMP images.

I like to use Paint.net, which is free and just as good as Photoshop for most purposes (but you have to have Windows with .Net Framework).

A lot of people like Gimp, which is also free.


To use the correct palette, you can create a BMP image of the palette, and copy and paste the palette onto your canvas. Then use an 'eye dropper' to choose the colours you want.

To create a palette BMP
1.Open SHP Edit then 'load a color palette'.
2.Then 'save SHP collage as BMP' (the button right under 'load a color palette').
