Walks Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I need to output .tga files 800x600 16bit colour and end up with a file size of 938KB - and I can't find a way of doing it - I'd welcome any hints. I can import just such a .tga and SaveAs - but I can't find an option to make the right file-size. Is this linked to a minimum 24bit depth or similar? If it's just not possible then so be it - but what a shame because PdN is just brilliant even for a light-user like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walks Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Please excuse Bumping this thread: I'll attach an existing 800x600 16bit file (938KB) zipped to 2K. I'd like to modify it and save it AND keep the filesize at 938KB. Every time I try, PdN saves the file with size 1407KB - what do I need to do or set in the Save dialog? Again, I'll welcome any hints (I'm guessing that it is a default 24bit or something like that). (I'll launch this and leggit to the pub so please forgive delayed or deluded responses later) PlainBackground.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Paint.NET doesn't support savings 16-bit TGAs. What you're trying to do is simply not something Paint.NET can do.
