I'm sad...

I found lots and lots of Paul Frank & Hello Kitty pictures to convert to "phone format"... I used Photo Shop andīresized them. But when I tested them on my phone they looked like h*ll... Why oh why?!

Please help me someone...

Yes, pictures will look different on the phone. A few advises :

Use clear/clean color pictures, meaning not to many shades of colors. Its ok to use a picture with many colors,..as long as there arent too many shadows/shades/mixes of colors.

In photoshop make the picture:
sharper
e.g. put more contrast on it.
----------------------------------

When you have made the picture in photoshop, import it into MyPictures program.
Then you push the "color dither" button.
Reason : you will then have the "true T-68 color-pallette".
-------------------------------

E.g. Cartoon-characters, simple logos,..will usually be good,..because of the accurate colors used.
Real photos can get "messy", because of the many shades, lights and so on.

If you're having to many problems with it, you can try to mail the pictures to me, and I'll give it a try

All I need to know is, if they're to be used on wap, or transferred via e.g. IR.
The bigger in kb they can be, the better
