I am trying to use “import_bmp.ulp” to import a logo to a PCB design but I always get the error: “bmp file contains more than 256 colors, reduce colors before use.”
I even created a 2x2 pixel image with 2 black pixels and 2 white pixels but I still get this error. This really doesn’t make any sense. Can anyone help me out?
it is not how many color you use that is the issue, it is the file format. Open your bmp file in something like mspaint, choose save-as and pick “256 color bitmap” under the “save as type” pull down menu, use that file instead
Thanks, saving in MS paint solves the problem. Strange, I had tried this in photoshop before posting but I guess I made a mistake.
