Check this image - my first attempt at 3d scenario

Ok, so it isn't much, but as I said, it's a first attempt. I've found a problem, though - the color depth. Is there any way of converting 24-bit to 16-bit without losing much of the quality?

i did an index colour in PS, to 8bit and it looked perfectly fine :p

Renaming a file to .jpg doesn't magically convert it. It's a .bmp.

Custard, I'm sorry, but could you please speak English?

He is saying that it takes 4 minutes to download the image cause its still a bitmap

Right, hang on then...

Custard, could you explain to me HOW you did that? :o

Privateer Puddin' · Sun 15/06/2003 19:14:58

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Sun 15/06/2003 19:15:48

Gotcha point. Thanks a HELL of a lot, that's a great roadblock out of the way! I'll remember this!

You don't NEED photoshop; paint shop pro will do fine, or even the freeware GIMP: http://www.gimp.org

Actually, the color reduction in Photoshop is much better than in Paint Shop Pro. I'm not sure about Gimp..
