> >Some advice on following link > >http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~rjvveeke/Coupe/draw1.htm Be carefull, that is a very old page, and it actually was not supposed to be there anymore. But since it is, it is a kind of tutorial which i once wrote but i think this not precisely what Frans ment with his question. BTW: I used tables in that page, something that is bound to go wrong is different browsers. I myself use Photoshop (and this would work even with PS 2.5 or something like that). 1. Take a picture and If it has less than 24 bits color then you change it to 24 bits color, in that way you avoid jagged edges when scaling the picture. 2. Scale it to 256x192 pixels, sometimes you need to make a 4x3 sized selection first. 2. Split the RGB into three seperated channels. 3. Change those three grey channels into RGB (they still are greyscale but now with 24bit depth, and PS will change a greyscale to 256 colors automaticaly, you can´t force anything else, therefore you need something more than 8 bits) 4. Change again those channels, but now to indexed colors, with 3 (adaptive) colors and a some kind of dithering (all three channels must have the same dithering). 5. Make a new document, 256x192 pixels, RGB. 6. Cut and paste the three greyscales into there channels, so red goes in channel red etc. 7. Save as BMP and use for example Edwin´s Screenviewer to add the BMP to a diskfile with "Sleur en Pleur" (drag and drop). And that´s it, step 3 and 4 are under several buttons at my photoshop. It works no so good with very dark or very bright pictures, but otherwise it gives quite good results and usually i don´t have to do anything on Sam itself, most pictures convert nicely to Screen$.
