Additional information
Supported formats
Input:
- JPG
- TGA (24 bit / 32 bit with alpha channel )
- PNG (with or without alpha channel)
- PAA
- PAC
Important note: All input textures must have resolution 2^x / 2^y (e.g. 16 / 16, 32 / 32, 64 / 64, 256 /256). The largest texture size commonly supported by graphics cards and RV engine is 4096x4096, in future, larger could be possible and it is already supported in Pal2PacE. However, some textures which don't respect these rules might be converted via TexView 2 (right click, open with TexView).
Also, if ImageToPAA fails to convert a texture which appears to be valid, please, consider switching your source file to 8bits.
Output:
- PAA/PAC
- TGA (32 bit with alpha channel)
- PNG (with alpha channel)
