[Coco] [Color Computer] Convert image to Coco compatible image

[T. Franklin]

Easy? No. What I've done in the past is create a custom palette table in Photoshop and let it do the conversion to an 8 bit 16 color BMP. Then I strip the header info off the BMP file and rename it to BIN. Then after importing it to a DSK image, I read it into the CoCo using a custom loader. But don't tell anyone. Let's keep this our little secret.

Hi,I was wondering if there was an easy way to convert an image like bmp, gif,jpg into a very basic image that the coco can load under regular BASIC? I want to convert a graphic down to say 16 colors and then display it as a background in a program for the Coco 3 programmed in BASIC.Ben--Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttp://five.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
