Opening Bitmaps

When the Image Editor opens an existing or new file, it loads the image into the workspace of the Image Editor window.

NOTE:

The Image Editor opens and loads only 2-color and 16-color bitmaps.

·To open an existing bitmap file:

From the File menu, choose the Open command.

·To create a new bitmap file:

1.From the File menu, choose the New command.

The editor displays the Resource Type dialog box.

2.Choose the Bitmap option.

The Image Editor displays a dialog box that lets you enter the height and width of the bitmap image you are creating and placing in the file. The dialog box also prompts you for the number of bitmap colors.

3.Specify either 2 or 16 colors.

By default, the first time you open a bitmap file, the Image Editor uses values
appropriate to the display on which it is running. If you subsequently open
additional bitmap files, the Image Editor specifies by default the values of the most recently created bitmap.
