looks like BadBoyBill has updated his logo convert tool
link

looks absolutely amazing, much better then my crappy thing lol. haven't tested it my self but all the data coming out looks correct

BadBoyBill may i add a link to it from my site?

No problem, Im not sure that site is the final resting place but I'll let you know if anything changes.

The app was updated with the fix and I added Hue, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast controls which can also help achieve the desired results.

i did think of maybe one extra option that will be very useful on animations. need a 'copy settings' and 'paste settings' buttons so people can get the look they want on the first frame and that look will most likely be what they want it on the remaining frames and it would be a pain to set it up each frame so just been able to click copy then paste on the other frames would be very useful

just a thought

when it supports animation (dmdlogo.txt)

lets say u need to edit quite a few settings to get the image to convert correctly. you would need to set this up on every frame of that animation.

but if you have a copy and paste settings button you can just set up the settings(sliders) how you want it on the first frame and just click paste on all the other frames rather then doing it manually.

This is already done for you by default. If you set up the first frame it automatically carries over to other frames to save you from having to remember your settings.
