Title: Title Screen Problem
Post by: SuperSaiyanSonix on January 16, 2010, 05:22:45 PM

Hey, guys, I'm having a little trouble making a title screen.
I know how to upload it and everything, but I'm trying to make a title screen for my friend's RPG.
The problem is, When I try coloring it, sometimes it isn't the right color, like blue is grey, red is brown. Can someone PLZ help me?
Thanks.

This would be a problem if you saved it as .gif. Save it as .png

If it still isn't working, copy and paste it into another document and continue from there.

My suggestion:

Draw it in 24-bit bitmap.  Save it as a bitmap (for backup) and then save it as a .PNG.  Use something like Ifranview to convert the PNG to 8-bit (256 colors).

Download Ultimate Paint (it's free). Draw your title screen however you want, then import it to ultimate paint and "save as" then select either .bmp or .png and set it to 256 colors.

The problem I suppose is that you're trying to make your new one over an existing file? In that case the file's colour count is already reduced. You should probably open a new file and do it there - it should work after all.
Just remember to get the size right as well as decreasing the colour depth afterwards.
