Problems editing/importing pic, RPG 2003 Options

[Lato]

Ok im learning 2003 and am having some interesting basic problems importing edited pic. When I do a basic edit like change the hair color of a person with paint program and I go to import the pic it take away the light blue background of the edited char, but not the un edited ones, so its looks bad when I start the game.

Is there some different way to import pic then you do with XP? anyone know what im doing wrong.

Gimp should work fine. I know because I use it.
Note: The image is indexed so you can only paint with a specific amount of colours... and you won't be able to use most of the filters.
A work around would be to go to Image>Mode>RGB and then use the filters and such. Then afterwards, copy the image, open up the same file again in another gimp, and paste it. It should convert it to the pallet.

If you don't understand then I should really post a tutorial about this.


Other then that, use photoshop and see if it works (and don't use jpeg over png. You want clean, not compressed)

I just lost a SC game so pardon my French

Ah this is getting kinda crazy lol. Ok i just used PS and did not use the jepg or other file types, just the type that you get when you export the default rez and it wouldnt show up in the preview after I did my edits and said stream line error when I tried to import. So if you could make a tutorial that would be very helpful, as I could do alot of custom work if I knew how to do it.
