VGA image editing

Hello everyone,

don't know if it is of any interest but for those poor guys using windows (that don't have access to linux conversion tools) here is a small contribution to a simple image .dat generation process for ZPUino VGA with 8bit colors.

1) select your image

2) scale it to 160x120 pixels (almost any tools out there) and save in .png

3) convert the palette (Corel Photo-paint->Image->Convert to palette and select the attached .pal file)

4) save the new .png image

5) convert the .png in .raw ( Irfanview->Save As ->(raw))

6) rename to .dat

So I hope I saved you an hour or two.

Bye

Pizus: if you're interested in porting the conversion tool to windows... just say :)

 

There's a dependency on libpng, that what makes things harder. The code itself is very simple.
