I would like to do some bitmap pictures in 8 colour mode and am wondering about
the right file-format. I'm quite good in Photoshop and software like this and
also have Graphics converter here on my Mac. It would be great if somebody
could help me out telling me in which format I should save the files and how I
can open them afterwards with Qemulator. Thanks.
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.

I have a graphics conversion tool which was written by Phoebus Dokos -
to convert images designed on the PC into QL images (certainly for
hi-res modes) - I can't remember if it can convert to mode 4 or mode 8
though, or even if Phoebus would be willing to let it loose into the
public domain
Phoebus... where are you lurking?
