I'm trying to program ELAM VIA touch panels and they utilize BMP files which are approximately 40 x 30 buttons and approximately 150 Kb. in size.
I have the entire list of XM and Sirius radio station icons but I need a free or cheap as possible program which I can use to re-size the height and width, adjust the image size and change from JPEG to Bitmap, etc. to fit the ELAN panels.
I know that the image will not be crystal clear and easy to read but I'd like to complete this job anyway.
I need the help does anybody have any good suggestions or ideas

IrfanView should do the trick. http://www.irfanview.com/It's freeware and supports batch resizing, including the file format you want the resulting image files saved to.

You have to make sure the bmp's are set to a Horizontal and Vertical resolution of 71dpi. With a bit depth of 8.
I don't think you can load any higher res images without issues. If you need a transparent "elan pink" bmp to start with, I can e-mail one to you.
Typically I'll open the low res "pink" image in mspaint, paste my new image in, resize, and "save as" to keep the low resolution with 8 bit depth.

Wouldn't you think by now the software we are
using for our Pro remotes would resize for us?
Seriously..

www.sumopaint.comUses flash to alter the image, and you don't need any software, because its all done on the web. And its free.
