Image Creating Application (recommendations)

Hi,

This question is not DaVinci based directly, but since I will use the information that I require in my DaVinci (6437) based application, I post it here.

I am doing some primitive image processing using DM6437. The output is on the two LCD screens. I use a pre-loaded (into NOR flash) icon set and character set and using these sets, creating the output image dynamically.

I have a 24 bit bmp to rgb888 converter and I am using this converter to create the pixel data in a structure to burn into the flash.

Until now I drew the icons using Mspaint, and resize them in an image application called Irfanview. The .bmp output file from the Irfanview is the one that is converted to rgb888 in a data structure. In similar way, for the character set, I copy&paste them to Irfanview from Ms word.

Now I wonder if there are any better ways or applications (preferring the freewares) to do this? The icons I use are small in size (32x32), so the especially the edge pixels seem very distinctive on the LCD. Is there a way to prevent this? Which image application would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Erman

    I usually use Gimp these days, it can get somewhat complex to use for editing but for scaling it it is relatively simple, and it gives you some options for the interpolation it uses for scaling, just open up your image and than select Image -> Scale Image to bring up the scaling window where you can make your adjustments and than save it as whatever output format you need.
