Iīve seen that you know how to use photoshop.
I wonder if anyone could help me on this:
Iīve got a picture of homer simpson that i want to put on my t68. The thing is that the backgound of the picture has different colours, i would like it to be all black!
Could i do this with photoshop? how?

Yes, you can. There are many ways you can change picture colours with photoshop
A simple guide.
Use Lasso Tool to demarcate areas you need to change .(This sector will be marked by blicking lines)
Then use Evedropper to select the black colour you want( or any colour).
Lastly, Use Paint Bucket Tool to paint over the entire blicking sector demarcated with Lasso Tool.
I hope this is of some helps to you
cheers

Hi pxus,
In order to get what you want, you need to master 3 basic functions in Photoshop, they are
" Lasso Tool", "Eyedropper tool" and "Paint Bucket Tool"
goto the respective Help Section of Photoshop as follows:
"Using the lasso, polygonal lasso, and magnetic lasso tools"
"Using the eyedropper tool" and
"Using the paint bucket tool"
Follow the step by step instruction. You 'll be OK

Hi Funky-Fish
You would not be able to use " Filter>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask " features if your picture is in "Indexed Color" Mode.
You need to change picture to RGB Color Mode to use Filter Function.
I hope this is of some help |

Hi all!
These are all really great tips! Been creating a few themes with desktop and background pictures and kept wondering why the translation from pc to phone had such a great variant. Didn't know the 256 colour on the t68 was different from pc. Thanks for the very useful colour palette. Keep up the excellent work guys!  |

i've tried Extensis Intellihance Pro (Photoshop plugin), just to let all of you know that you are able to produce good enhanced pictures for transfer to T68.
Purchase or Down load Demo copy and install on your photoshop
http://www.extensis.com/intellihancepro/
Follow the following steps
1. Open your jpeg picture file in Photoshop
2. ENhance picture with intellihancepro( choose the correct setting to your choice)
3. Goto Image>Adjust>Hue/Saturation( Saturation setting +18)
4. Goto Image>Adjust>Brightness/Contrast (Brightness Setting -5)(Contrast setting +20)
5. Goto Image>Image Size (Picture size 101x80)
6. Goto Filter>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask (Amount 500%; Radius 0.2 Threshold 0)
7.Goto Image- Select Mode-Select Indexed Colour
8.Indexed Colour table will appear
9.Goto Palette- Select Custom-Load "256.act" file(need to remember where you downloaded the file)
10.Click OK
11. Save picture as *.gif file
Ready to upload to T68
Here are some example of pictures i produced (try it on your t68)

I posted this in another topic, but I thought it would be good in the sticky.
The T68 uses a popup window for caller ID. Even though the display is 101 x 80 pixels, only the center portion of an image is shown. To make sure your caller id picture displays like you want it, you should make it the same size of the popup window which is 93 x 62 pixels.
Tip number two: We have (or should be using) the .act file that converts an image to an indexed color .gif file. The color table only utilizes the colors that the T68 is able to display. What i've discovered is that you should resize the image BEFORE loading the color table. I've included two examples to illustrate the point.
Loading color table last (good)
Loading color table first (bad)
The image editing steps that work best for me are:
1. Crop image area
2. Resize to either 93 x 62 for caller id or 101 x 80 for full screen
3. Adjust contrast, brightness, saturation
4. last: load color table
Hope this helps you!

2 gomichaelkgo: actually it is exactly the same order as advised by all8.
2 all8: Thank you very much. I have noticed the difference between PhotoShop's 256 c palette and T68's one. I just could not think of creating a palette myself. Great work!

Great!
One problem... how to get images under 3 k? I make some gif's, but they are too big!
It must be less than 3 k, if You want to view them with xHTML / Wap. Or was this 3 k size a network problem?

Hmm... thanks. Already read that, but now I made some test's, and...
...why do You have to save GIF? I did settings like before, and THEN save to JPG! I now have very nice images, under 3 k... work's fine!
Only thing is that I "can't use" image bigger than 101 x 80, my stupid phone shrink it to my screen size...

A good question. Why did I save all pictures in GIF file instead of JPG File. The answer is simply because early version of T68 which is T68m, Jpg file wasn't supported.
I noticed Software Version R2E006 supports JPG files.
Another point to note is that after converting picture to Indexed Colour , the same Picture can never be saved in JPG File. This is probable due to some of the colour pallettes in T68 do not match the colour palettes found in JPG file
