Whats the best free paint proggy ?

[DaveB]

Ah.. well I don't usually make my own (though I have).. I normally end up liberating one off an original via DXTbmp

Ah right.....but of course at the moment with the stuff I paint there is no original.

You don't need to Paul

I never go to a graphics editor via DXT.BMP I always open within the editor itself.

How do you go about it, Garry ? I assumed one needed to use DXTBmp, to convert the dds to bmp, send it to the editor, do the paint, send it back to DXTBmp to convert back to dds and put it in the sim. Or am I missing something here ?

Hi Paul

If it can't be read into the editor I call it into DXTBMP save as a 32bit 888-8 and then open that new BMP in the editor.
