In Response To: Photoshop 5.5 LE able to handel colortable work? (Blayne)

: I'm looking into buying a copy (new or used) of Photoshop 5.5 for Mac off
: eBay. Predominantly, there are Photoshop 5.5 "LE" (Light
: Edition?) versions for sale, running around th $10.00US mark.

: Now, I've found that I can't forever rely on the help of Simon (from Team
: Sigma) to help me out when I run into a colortable issue.

: Recently, I've found that the bitmaps of two monsters displayed correctly
: within their given custom imported colortabley when in the editing app .In
: game, they look horrible. I'm thinking it's because I only have
: "GraphicConverter" to work with colortables - and it can not
: index colortables like the Marathon engines shape file likes.

: Question : Does Photoshop 5.5 LE for mac handle colortables well - Or is
: program a cripple when it comes to such matters? What are the shortfalls
: of the Light Edition of this Adobe software?

: Thanks everyone!

When I worked on Yota, I edit a lot of colortables for aliens. In my experince is alephone, and infinity for that matter, unwilling to to display certain colors, even if they're set in the 256 color range. Light purple for example, a light tone of a bluish purple.

I'd would advice you to try to change the normal colortable so it includes all the colors your aliens have ( as close as you can get anyway). It's very important to have the colors lined up in ranges if you want to edit the colortables later. (and that's good if some of the colors refuses to show up in the engine). IF you don't know how color ranges are created it's by a simple alt click on the first and last color. It creates a blend between the two.
