Bitmap Compressor? - Darkangel - 06-03-2010 The 24bit-Bitmaps I have in my LF2 files are really big. Are there any bitmap compressors that you could suggest I could use. Otherwise, are there any way I could reduce the size of bitmaps without causing them to lose quality? RE: Bitmap Compressor? - Lauli - 06-03-2010 You can make it a 8-Bit bitmap and optimize the colour-pallette (?) I always do that to make smaller files. Not sure which other software can do this, but I'm always using Corel-Photo-Paint. Maybe Photoshop or Gimp has the same feature. RE: Bitmap Compressor? - Silverthorn - 06-03-2010 In Photoshop, you go Image > Mode > Indexed Color... But yeah, like Lauli said, convert it from 24- to 8-bit. It reduces the filesize dramatically RE: Bitmap Compressor? - Wiro - 06-03-2010 i guess almost every image-manipulation program can index the bmps, even ms paint (like save as 8-bit bitmap) RE: Bitmap Compressor? - Lauli - 06-03-2010 That's right, paint however doesn't optimize the colour palette (I'm not sure about Windows 7, though) So there might be some unwanted colour changes, if you save as 8-Bit in Paint. RE: Bitmap Compressor? - The Lost Global Mod - 06-03-2010 ^tested it for ya. No it does not. So basically paint is not really useful in this matter. RE: Bitmap Compressor? - Taniaetc - 06-04-2010 Other way: I remember compressing the whole IF folder. It's like this. Right-click, go to properties, general, then advanced. Make sure you tick the "compress contents to save disk space". If there's any box appearing just click ok and that's it. There's no problems with it. Still 24-bit, no editing errors. It's a great way of compressing, but I'm not sure if there's a bug...
