I would like to take a picture .bmp that I have and turn it into a new bootskin... is there any way of doing that or can someone make it for me if I send them the .bmp?
Please email me at [email protected].

Take one 640x480 image....
Reduce it to 4bit 16 colours....
Copy an existing ini file....
edit it in notepad to have the nnew image name....
New author details....
Zip them....
rename 'zip' extension to 'bootskin'....
Done.
Progress bar needs one more image....same 16 colour palette, and a location in the ini for where it is and how wide it progresses.

In Photoshop it is Image/Mode/indexed color then select the pallet type you want- Local(perceptual,selective or adaptive) - make sure 16 is in the colors selection box - make sure Black and White are selected in the Forced box and below that for options you can choose diffusion, Pattern or Noise and play with the amount of % to get your pic to look good. Hope that helps a little.

look under 'B'
Cyberworld's Bootskin Tutorial
you don't need photoshop - you can do it in paint - just has to be 4bit bmp (16 color) and the progress bar has to use the same colors
