Need help with Deluxe Paint

[deltamatrix]

I am fairly new to deluxe paint. I want to try it out for some sprite animation but I don't know how to import picture files into it.

I have a common 24-bit bmp file which I wanna play with in dp.

I tried converting it to pcx in photoshop but that didn't work. How do you do it?

I apologise in advance if this is the wrong forum.

you'll need to convert it to 256 colours, as dpaint is a dos app, and if pcx doesn't work try lbm
