How do you down convert colors in an image to a specific set of colors without saving it? For example, I have an image in 24 bit color and I need to be in 8-bit color to save space. But I want to be able to control those 256 colors and I might have to make edits after the image is converted making saving previewing and editing a hassle to do over and over and over again every 30 seconds. These images will be used in video games as sprites and in menu Icons. Mainly the menu Icons have different color tables over different platforms and when it dithers it makes the icons look like crud.

What about this? viewtopic.php?t=3107 Iv expermented with that and it's too hard to get a precise angle with that. Like say you want exactly 30 dergrees shift. I found it hard to get it remotly close. Thanks. I can't wait to see this in action on PDN.

Thanks for you help but thats not what I want to do. I want to shift the pixles in an image so it appers to lean by an angle put in by the user. For exsample: This is the image i started with This image had a 45 degree vertical skew applyed by MS paint And this one had a 45 degree horizontal skew applyed by MS paint This is what the window looks like: The red box is where the controles for skewing are. If you have MS paint try useing these to get an idea of what i mean. Rotate/zoom has a similar effect but the prospective projection throws it off.

Hi im new to these forms and I was wondering if someone could write a skew plug-in like the one MS paint has.
