Hi Thorsten, I think Graphics Converter can import QL screens, but not export them (unless that changed in the 10+ years since I last used it :) Not sure what you mean by bitmap, for example I think SMSQ/E sprites have their own format. If you mean the format of the QL video memory (a picture that you can LBYTES into video memory), one possible way I've used in the past is to convert to the 8 colour palette in Photoshop, convert back to RGB and export as a RAW file, then write a small SuperBASIC conversion program that takes the RAW RGB file and converts it to the QL video memory format.
