Step 6Prepping your image.
Once your palettes are created and saved, the rest is easy.
1) Click on File -> Open and bring up the cropped and resized image that you were working on before. If you were just working on the palettes, you'll get a warning message; just click Lose Changes.
2) Click Image -> Convert to Indexed (shown below).
3) Change Indexed Colors to Use to the number of colors in your palette. In this example, that is 10. For the rest, make sure that Dither is set to None. I have gotten decent results with all of the Palette options, and for this example I'll just leave it set to whatever the default happened to be. This is one of those steps that you can play around with, if need be. When finished, click OK.
What you should now see on your screen is your image with it's chopped down palette (shown below). Stand back and squint and it should all be clear.
4) Click File -> Save As and save a new copy of this image, in case you need to go back.
NOTE - The regular old Undo and Redo features are in mtPaint, I just like people being in the habit of saving their documents often. :)
