Question about sprites

[Firemonkeyman13]

Okay i've seen some people say save as png. and i see how it helps but how do you save as png? I do all my work in paint so is that possible? :O

When you save, there are two white boxes.  One is where you put the name of what your saving and there's another one below it with a down arrow next to it.  At default it will say .JPEG, change it to .PNG

It's completely possible in paint.

PNG is actualyl your best bet in saving, as gif and JPEG can f*** with the colors if you don;t know what you're doing and bitmap is a little big in file size.  Plus, the Spriter's Resource only accepts in PNG or GIF format, just a little random info ;)

Oh yes, another thing.  GIF can work outside of paint.  I use it to give sprites transparent backgrounds in GIMP.  But in paint, it only hurts the colors.
