I like Tile Molester just fine, myself. Very customizable, can draw across multiple tiles at once (instead of tile-at-a-time) and display more than 16x16 tiles at once (quite useful when drawing full-screen graphics) and maintain bookmarks and such. Don't know how well it handles image importing, not that I need to use it though. |

In number of features, it undoubtedly is. But what if people -like- TLP? Eh? |

You still using Tile Layer Pro. Get YY-CHR. it's even better. |

Thanx! You've been very helpful.
The only way that I've managed to get the colors right before was to change the colors in my bitmap trial and error. This will save me lots of time.  |

I believe the image has to be colormap-based (i.e. paletted), furthermore with an 8-bit palette (not 4-bit), as opposed to being stored as straight 24-bit RGB color, in order for TLP to recognize it. Furthermore, I believe you'll have to arrange the first four palette entries to be in the same order as the colors of the NES graphics.
I don't think MS Paint can accomplish all that, you'll probably have to use a higher-end image editor to manage the palette (you can still use MS Paint to draw the graphics, though, just copy-and-paste those into the other editor), or at least something that can manage the palette properly, such as GraphicsGale.
Failing that, you can resort to de-maximizing the windows, zooming in in Paint, selecting one tile at a time in Paint and then re-drawing it tile-by-tile in TLP: not the most efficient method, but it'll work come hell or high water. |

When you import a bitmap in a NES rom, is there a way to get TLP to recognise all 4 colors? I've tried changing all RGB values of my bitmap to those of the actual game that don't change anything. |
