Hi
I'm using Gimp 2.4.0 / Ubuntu 7.10 in BMP to create final image with logo.
But our logo was originally created under Windoz with Photoshop I think (I'll have to ask our graphic specialist if it matters)

They're no define for dither in the code I downloaded from TS/files section.

Did your code read BMP image  buttom-up ? (first byte in the array represents the pixels in the lower-left corner of the bitmap and the last byte represents the pixels in the upper-right corner )

Also, can I just overwrite the file splash.gz in bootsection of the Flash ?

Cheers

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Check if the dithering is enabled (#define dither), and try again with it disabled. This seems to not work for some people/systems.

What type of system are you using to create the original BMP? I'm using a Windows PC. I don't know why your images may be flipped. You could always flip the image before converting it, but that's juts masking the problem.

Regards,

PJE
