256 bmp - darkblob32 - 09-30-2008
Hi guys, I was just wondering if there was anyone who could tell me how to save a file as a 256 color bmp ( and how to work in this mode?)

The solution is that you *don't* save as a .bmp.
.bmp files are very large and a hassle to upload to the net. Instead, use .png; it'll lower the file size considerably without ruining the image quality.

unfortunately it's not for uploading to the internet, it's for a game im making using homebrew. I don't really have a choice.

uh, save it as a 256 in paint through the filetype selector in the save window
