v1buzzbomb Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Open the image you want to keep, save the image as a 256 color one. Then, go to file > save AS. Save as saves a different, new file, while save overwrites a previous saves or saves a new file. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APShredder Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 If I understand your question correctly (and I'm not sure I do), you could try to use the Selective Palette plugin, which is part of Curtis' plugin pack.
