16 Bit grayscale png

Post by dcox1961 »

I need to create a heightmap in 16 bit grayscale .png file for a game I am trying to mod. When ever I try to save the png PSP x8 tells me it needs to convert the file to a higher color depth. Can someone tell me how to do this?

TIA

I don't believe PSP's PNG engine handles 16-bit greyscale. You would have to export as a different format that does suppport 16-bit greyscale and then use a converter to change it over to PNG. For example I believe TIFF supports that format.
