c2scott Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I frequently need to modify or create monochrome bitmaps (yes, that's 1-bit depth .BMP files). I've used Windows XP Paint, works well but the zoom function stinks. Windows 7 Paint has a bug where the pencil tool can only SET pixels, you cannot right-click to erase pixels (works ok once you change to a full color bitmap). So I've been searching for a new paint program and Paint.Net holds a lot of promise. I've found in the 4.0 beta I can load 1-bit monochrome bitmaps, but upon save it seems to insist on saving them as a deeper color depth. Is there something I'm missing (ie stupid user)? Is there a plugin available to enable saving as a 1-bit .BMP file? Is there an older version that supports 1-bit Monochrome .BMP files? Thanks in advance for any assistance or comments...
