I am using photoshop to make 8 bit bitmaps for an 8bit game. The problem is when I save the image as an 8 bit and try to use it in the program it doesnt run. However when I make the image in ms paint it works fine. Is photoshop doing something weird to the file? How can I fix this?

What file format are you using? BMP? Maybe your image loader doesn't handle all 8-bit BMP files properly, just the mspaint versions.

Edit:
Also, you need to be more specific about what errors you're getting.

It''s the problme that Photoshop saves the biSize as 0, always.
So you have to claculate it by your own to get it right (biWidht * biHeight).
