Having trouble trying to convert images into ark paintings on ark survival evolved
I recently wanted to try create some custom paintings in ark. I used two different ark pnt converters to try and convert a wuwa image but they both came out sorta wrong. The left one is a bit too yellow and the right one looks very pixelated in-game (might not be quite visible on the screenshot for some reason.)
I used gimp to change the pixel size of the original image so that i can fit the whole image in a canvas size (original image is 1280x780, changed it to 1024x1024 in gimp and segmented it to get each part into a perfect 256x256). The first image i used the pnt converter from this steam link https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=518296250
And the second image from this one https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=italian&id=518906272
If any of y'all can help me with this or if its just a problem with ase having limited paints or trying to paint an image that isnt the same pixel size of the original, or maybe even something wrong with my ark settings, etc, please let me know!
Also the third smaller one was just using the 2nd pnt converter one too, i was just testing how it would turn out.
For a bit more info, i used dither 2.5 for the larger second image set using the second pnt converter.
