TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
1. Set your monitor for something higher than 256 colors (I use True Color
-24-bit)
2. Capture the window (PSP defaults to 16 million colors).
3. Resize the image (Image>Resize) by a certain percentage (typically the
image is about 65%-80% of the original, depending on the size of the
window).
4. Reduce the number of colors to 256. (I usually use a standard Windows 256
color palette for all BMPs to avoid color flashing problems. To load a
palette, select Colors>Load Palette)
