Hi!

You have to use Image tool included in FS2k2 and open the BMP file and convert it to 24 bits and save:

Assuming you have found the Imagetool, open up the desired *.bmp

Image------->Format------------->24 bits and save

Now you can open up the *.bmp in Photoshop.....
Then do the painting and dont forget to transform it back to 32, DXT, etc after the paintjob

You can also use Martin Wrights DXT/BMP as a texture converter.
