Changing the color Palette

[eliwood3]

I probably misspelled palette and misspelled, but thats besides the point.......How on gods earth do you change to color palette. I know you could do it by just looking at the pretty shades of colors and guessing which would replace each other nicely, but is there any "exact" way of doing it? I want to change the color on my karel sprite.

With Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/) you can use the edit palette option, to switch certain colors on the original palette with others. It works pretty good, although it's still a lot of work. Irfanview is free too, so it's worth to give it a try anyway.
I used it to change Wallace's color to that nice blue edition in my avatar.
Oh, and I think you spelled palette and misspelled just right

It's easy, but it can be annoying. But look at what I did with a Matthew sprite sheet

I changed him to have green cloak and brown hair. Also edited his hair a bit.

thanks that sounds easy enough....oh and CO Raptor, your wallace there is what got me all ready to change the color palette of my karel sprite.....its very....how shall I say? Inspiring, with its original arrow/needle/whatever shooting thing from the shoulders and its really cool colors.....

You can also edit and swap palettes in adobe Image Ready too you know. But Paint Shop Pro work best for me. you can also change it in Photoshop then load the .act file with the palette information and apply to all your other sprites.

And the things he's firing are rockets, FYI.
