Post subject:  Problems with colors in Photoshop
Hallo!

I am really new to this and going crazy! I made a search on this but didn't find anything alike (or I am just not patient enough to go further then 100 posts :) )

I am having big times troubles with the colors in Dragon. I am using the dragon mod 11 pallet and it just doesn't work. Instead of -5 water I get brown tiles when I compile it to .mul. The snow is compiling to rock or cobblestones and I just don't get this.

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks so much for your help.

Did you "tell" Photoshop which palette to use?

You need to change the image to 8-bit color "mode" then for "color table", assign the Dragon palette as a "custom" palette.

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks so much for your answer... in the meantime i found the nice tutorial makingmaps.11. Still struggeling but it is getting better. I just made REAL water instead of lava or red tiles *jumps up and down in excitement*. But your hint definately helps me. Thanks again!

It IS fun making maps then actually going ingame and running around in a world you created all by your lonesome.

I did it! Just to tell you CMS, I really managed to force dragon and photoshop to do what I wanted :D

I know you have to run DragonSP.exe as well to put in the statics, which completes the coast line and such.

Yeah, sounds like the problem was a combination of wrong index and not running DragonSP.

I just didn't find the addons in dragon for photoshop. And at first I also tried it with MS Paint, and that doesn't work at all!

But I ran dragonSP. There where brown floortiles as water, not the ones that are under the static water... But thanks anyways!

Make sure that your water is at -5, and your ground at least at 0. Otherwise you might get something like you describe.

There should be the Photoshop .aco palette files that you can load the swatches from. It is in the Addons folder in my Dragon.
