Title: 32 bit color
Post by: Solatar on December 22, 2003, 11:21:21 pm

Anybody know a good program that could convert images to 32-bit .tga files. I've been using PSP8 to try and create 32-bit graphics for fs2, but it only saves in 24 bit. And for some reason fs2 doesn't like 24-bit.

Adobe Photoshop.

I don't have $700 dollars around, nor do I have Kazaa installed. :(

Any other suggestions?:D

That can't be the only program that supports 32-bit color...

EDIT: Surely there's some way to make PSP8 support it, a plug-in perhaps?

32-bit is nothing else than 24-bit with an added transparency channel. So unless you need transparency, it's pretty much useless.

The GIMP- all the power of Adobe Photoshop for free! Not sure if it does what your looking for but it should. Make a search on google.

GIMP's pretty good although it doesnt really have as much power as Photoshop does.

It looks good, and looks like it'll do what I want. Unfortunately...I don't want to compile it myself, as I can't. You know where I can get an installer...i've looked at one or two, but they're all broken links.

Actually- that's not the program. Thats just the bits and bobs you need to install the program. I'll try and refind the site or upload it to swooh for you (seeing as I'm in a happy mood :) )
