how to slice pics into little pices (to preserve colors quality)

[.:K.I.N.G:.]

ok that's the best i could come up with at the moment until someone els posts a better or an easier way.
basically this is very helpful for making low res stages without loosing the color quality due to the 256 colors conversion.
what i mean is low res stages will look much better with minimal color loss.

what you need is photoshop or any other software that has the slice, select and move tools

1-open you image then pick the slice tool
2-right click on the image and chose promote to user slice
3-adjust you slice dimensions or leave it automatic ---> up to you..you can do it in real time as well by dragging the borders
4-pick the selection tool---> the square one under the move tool in photoshop
5-select the outlines (borders) of your slice using the selection tool.
open up a new blank image then use the move tool to move your already selected slice to that blank image
6-corp if you must, convert to 256, save as pcx,
7-put the slices back together in the sff
done
repeat from step 4 for every slice 
example

i hope to see some better looking stages

also its best to get sprites in png format.

jpg format is not good for characters, or stages ya know?

Thank you very much Iron Fist! I've been meaning to make a thread about why my newbie stages looked so crappy in Mugen, now I know why. >.>
