Re: [NTLK] JPG Files to Books ?

I also use Paintshop pro. Take your jpg. Under the Colors menu reduce to
gray scale. Ten, also under the Colors menu, decrease color depth to 16 (4
bits) save as a bmp file and you have it.

Aha, it was "make it bmp" not "make it jpg" that was stuck in my mind. :)
I'm using Paint Shop Pro which appears to only want to make 256-shade
grayscale, will have to fiddle with it I guess to make it 16. The screen
sizes are landscape-ready-for-eMate, 370x310.

If you are making the book using Newton Press, on a Mac convert them to
pict, on a PC to a bmp. Then just import them. I would also recommend
resizing and converting to B & W for 130 and older, 16 grayscales for Emate,
2000 and 2100's while you were converting the file type.

I thought I knew this when I started looking for content, and now that I
have some (multiple JPG files) I don't remember what to do next - how can I
turn them into a Newton Book?

Thanks.
