Talk:MtPaint

The Geek: Seems like the OHR is detecting 16-colour images I create in mtPaint as 8-bit, not 4-bit... anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Bob the Hamster: *tests* mTpaint is not actually capable of saving 4-bit images. It always saves as at least 8 bit, even if you have 16 or less colors in the picture. You will have to re-open your bmp files in some other program and save them again. Or, if you have Imagemagick you could run

 mogrify -depth 4 foo.bmp
