So - I have a lot of graphics in png format that I would like to use on the Amiga in my next game (Blitz basic). Problem is that when I load them into PPaint, the black used is colour 0 (or transparent colour) so all black disappears! They are characters with a black border (and black used within them) which obviously becomes transparent. I am wondering if there is an automatic way of changing the colour index of a colour so that it is not recognised as transparent?

In PC Blitz, you can just chose which colour is transparent but on the Amiga it is always colour 0.

Otherwise it is a lot (and I mean a lot) of work to remap all the black by hand...

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
