I have a technical question for some of the pixel artists out there that deal with limited color pallets. I have a bunch of 16 color character images that I created in photoshop. Now I'm trying to save them as 4bit bmps, but I need the color pallets to be identical when I convert the images (because of the way our compression works with our programming environment - this is for my work) - including the order of the colors in each pallet. I've tried using graphics gale, but it re-arranges the colors in the pallet, so I have the same colors, but I don't have them in the right order. I'm not using photoshop CS2 for the conversion because it forces black and white and that means I'm losing 2 colors for each frame.
Is there a program with a batch convert that will keep the color pallet exactly the same when I convert from 8bit to 4bit bmp?
Thanks!
