To any and all Canvas Knights Skinners:
I am in the process of making a skin representing Harry Gwynne's "Flying Fish" for the Neiuport 17.
Here's what I have so far:

I'm ready to start WIP testing in game to test mapping, pattern alignments, colors, lighting etc. The problem is the skin in Paint Shop Pro 8 is 12Mb when reduced to 24 bit. Running BRIGHT gets it down to just over 4Mb. But skins in the Vehicles folder are only 1.14Mb.
So my skinning tools for IL-2 are of no help. How do I reduce to color depth to get the skin file to 1.14Mb and what tools/utilities do I need if I don't already have them?
Any and all help is very much appreciated.
