PNG for PTF v1.0 released

[wraggster]

News/release from akadewboy

PNG for PTF is a small GUI I made that uses the DOS program Pngnq to convert 24-bit PNGs into 256 color 8-bit PNGs.

Why is this important? It's because Sony's Custom Theme Converter is very picky about what PNGs you can use to make PTF themes. There's very few image editing programs out there that support 256 color PNGs with an alpha layer, so that's where PNGforPTF comes in.

Also included in the zip is a tutorial on how to make icons with Gimp (a free image editing program) to help get you started.

Don't bother just use GIMP to begin with which is free and solve all of your problems.

Can you tell me real quick how you save/export it in Fireworks, Sony tool never likes any of my PNGs no matter what I seem to do. Thanks

Just use this tutorial:

the things he does to export in gimp should be relativly similar to fireworks. I'm pretty sure you flatten the image and then extract in 256 grb color, png. But i hanv't done this in awhile so i'm probably wrong. Just read the tutorial its great when just starting to do this.
