Download a plugin for Photoshop called 'Bright'. It converts to Indexed files but you lose almost none of the detail.

Really now? That's an interesting idea. I'll definitely test it out. I'm a total n00b skinner, and I work with templates. I can make great looking skins, but not from scratch like you and other pros. First and foremost, I just couldn't ever dedicate the time to make skins 100% from scratch. But I do enjoy working with a good template. (And by template I mean a layered document with correct rivet, line patterns, optional markings, etc. You still do the painting and everything, but you just overlay the rivets and things like that. Huge time saver for n00bz like me.) :wink:

Thanks for the advice though, Canon!

I'd definitely like to look into the 32bit color idea though, and see if it's possible and worthwhile to pursue. If it is theoretically possible, and there's a way to keep the engine from rejecting it, I think that would be a HUGE evolution for the game, and the quality of our graphics. 32bit wouldn't just be sexy... No... 32bit IS the sex! :lol:
