Reply to "Using GIMP to Create a PNG file"

AdminMember

Very nice Justin. Thanks!

The Mac version of Gimp does not have Export, so you do a Save As instead. After that though, it is pretty much as you describe.

One other nice feature of that Mode dialogue is the 1-bit option. I sometimes get B&W maps that have been scanned in greyscale so they end up with "dirty" backgrounds that make the PNG files much larger than they need to be. Saving the image in 1-bit B&W cleans that up, makes better looking B&W maps, and results in smaller PNGs.
