Moninca Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm creating a little icon to be used on another site (entering a contest), and they mentioned something about needing to be "indexed .pngs" to be compatible with recolors and palettes. Could someone please explain what that means? I'm more than a little lost..... Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 8-bit. Each color is saved as a number between 0 and 255 (its "index"), and there's a palette with 256 entries that says what the actual color value is.

Moninca Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 So.... does that mean I have to save it as an 8-bit? How do I do that? Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
