I know how to apply the palette (I think). I got it to work once where the color came out right, but since then, the colors are screwy especially when i add my own text. Thanks

Erm, I'm using Photoshop and I haven't found the need to use the palletes, remember to switch the images to index mode, Windows or Mac index works well. If the image after switching looks okay, the dc6 after conversion should look fine.

ok for PSP, you should do all your changes to your pics b4 paletting. Then after you have paletted and you've got pure blacks 0,0,0 which you intend to see, and not have them transparent, do a color switch to off-black 4,4,4 which is the nearest to black in the d2 Palette.------------------ ~ How's your Faith today Father? ~ StigmatA ~ When mere Faith isn't enough, where will you go to hide ~ ~ You know you got to keep the Faith ~ Jon Bon Jovi

Heh, I usually resort to trial and error. If anyone has found a definite method to create images that doesn't cause distortion by the Diablo2 pallete in Photoshop, please share it with everyone?

I need some help with this too.what format should I save the file in to convert it .dc6 before saving it as a Windows Bitmat, I have made the image Index colored using the Windows standard. In DC6 maker it looks fine and when I use The dc6 viewer it looks fine as well. But in the game the graphics seem really light and/or faded. So what file do you save it as, and what program do you use to conveert it. I have made my items look somewhat descent, so I am not too unhappy right now... but it would be nice to just save them and have them nice the first time around.

The graphics just get lighter in game. The easiest way to avoid this is to use darker grays.What I want to know is if anyone has found a pallete which doesn't result in speckles in Acts 2, 3, and 5? ------------------ 54x.

Gonna move this to the graphics forum where it makes a bit more sense to have it.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer."
