Take one 640x480 image....

Reduce it to 4bit 16 colours....

Copy an existing ini file....

edit it in notepad to have the nnew image name....

New author details....

Zip them....

rename 'zip' extension to 'bootskin'....

Done.

Progress bar needs one more image....same 16 colour palette, and a location in the ini for where it is and how wide it progresses.




...now send Jafo a dollar

Tell them what program you are using to edit the picture.

In Photoshop it is Image/Mode/indexed color then select the pallet type you want- Local(perceptual,selective or adaptive) - make sure 16 is in the colors selection box - make sure Black and White are selected in the Forced box and below that for options you can choose diffusion, Pattern or Noise and play with the amount of % to get your pic to look good. Hope that helps a little.
