Importing Masks - Invalid Colours Were Found

[Takara]

Hello all,

Just started using AGS yesterday, read many tutorials and lots of posts in the forums but I just can't seem to work out how to do this.

I've created myself a nice background in Photoshop which I imported into AGS with no difficulty.  I don't want to have to create the masks in AGS because it would take a lot of time and I know it imports masks.  However, everytime I try I get:

"Invalid colours were found in the imported mask.  They have now been removed."

And there's no mask on the screen  

I'm guessing I haven't got my colours quite right somewhere, but I can't see where  Has anyone got a standard 16 colour palette which I can import into Photoshop so I can ensure I have the right colours?  Or just the RGB values for the colours?  Either that, or is there something obvious which I'm maybe not doing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Takara.

If you're using Photoshop, make sure the file is an Index Color PCX with the palette set to Windows System.

NOTE: Then the mask will be imported but you'll need to fill the areas (using the bucket tool) from within AGS to match the right colours, if you haven't used the same ones.
