Slice60 will only accept a 24-bit, uncompressed .TGA image. Please note the .TGA format does have other bit depths and compression possibilities so be sure to save your image in the proper format. Here are the save boxes and option settings from popular paint programs. Notice that each program has its own name for the TGA file. When presented with choice, if one doesn't work try another.

TrueVision Targa
TGA, VDA, VST, ICB

Targa is a standard, fairly widely used format, but its main strength is with very colourful images. Targa supports '32-bit' RGB colour. Like 24-bit colour, Targa's 32-bit colour contains red, green, and blue data (8 bits each). The remaining 8 bits are used to store other data such as transparency information. Targa also supports optional RLE compression. Nowadays, most file fomats support 16.7 million colour RGB but when Targa was brought out this was very rare and Targa became a standard for images with lots of colours.

TGA (VDA,ICB,VST) Extensions

Targa formats created by Truevision for use with 24-bit high-resolution graphics hardware called Targa boards. Used by several high-resolution graphics vendors.
