png to tga - output in grayscale
Posted: Thu May 31, 2012 4:19 am
I want to batch-process a folder of .png images and convert them to .tga (uncompressed Targa) and save them to another folder.
Specifically, I'm trying to port Doom 2 levels to Doom 3 format and using the hires textures for Doomsday as the source.
However, when I open the .tga images in Paint .NET, they come out in greyscale.
Picasa will display them as completely black
Adobe Photoshop won't load them at all
I want to get accurate color reproduction of the original bitmaps, but in Truevision Targe format!
What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks for reading.
