hi,
i have a photo which is 768x1024jpg and i want to convert it to a 120x120bmp.
so far i’ve used 3 proggies (acdsee, irfanview, and Paint) just to get it to a stage where it is recognised as a .bmp, what a hassle it was too. i’ve also got it at 120×120 using Paint, (acdsee did the jpg to bmp converting) but i cant see anything.
I am trying to use it to place on the General Tab when viewing Device Manager. I can get it there via naming OEMLogo.bmp and placing it in my windows/systems folder but it just shows up as a black rectangle, if you get my meaning.
Hope one of you ppl can assist. Maybe its just not possible to take the pixels down that low and expect it to be viewable. I have seen someone elses efforts and it worked but i cant contact him.

help appreciated
regards Jane

hi jane,

what color depth you are using?

wouldn’t much matter … resizing to 10% (linear) of an image leaves no room for much detail.

it matters – read this: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=218176 => color depth maximum for oemlogo = 256
and have a nice day, j.a.mc. ;o)

When you’re trying to cram a 1024 image into 120 pixels per the OP, colour depth is the LEAST of the problem.

et tu.

maybe it’s the least problem for you but it could help to solve jane’s problem (have you noticed it?)
