Colors Change?? Please close - TY :)

I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this;

When I want to change a picture from .bmp to .png using my Win 10 comp the colors change from what they should be.
This pic was changed to .png on the Win 10 - her pink hair replaced w/a lighter more whiteish tone and her skin color is slightly off as well.  Even her clothing coloration changed.
While this one -using my old Win XP changed w/o any differences to her 'normal' coloring.

I know most don't work with two comps  (1 for the game and the other for everything else) but still ... very curious to say the least.

hi cheryl! what program are you using to convert to png?

[cheryl ツ]

Paint for both ... it's actually the only thing I use!

Do you have petza? In the settings you can make it so that the images save as pngs instead of bmps. As far as I understand paint messes with colours

Sorry for the late response Rylan ❄️ ... yes, thanx, petza's on both comps. Going from .bmp to .png is where this happens on the 10 (violet becomes baby blue  etc) but it's really no big deal, I just revise pics (to .png for pageants) & create graphics on the XP. It's actually easier since my game is there and I'm more comfortable using the simplicity of paint vs paint 3D.


Another example -----ORIGINAL .bmp from game babybook (I don't use babypics w/pics saved as .png)
revised to .png using Win XP                  revised to .png using Win 10

if you go into your petza settings, there's a setting you can select that lets you save the pictures as PNGs automatically so you don't have to do it yourself. The pictures are just saved as PNGs in the first place

I know the game settings has that feature but didn't know about it being in petza! I'll have to try that next time I'm on the XP!
Thanx! <3

it's honestly probably ms paint that's doing it! paint is very basic and may not be able to handle colors properly in the newer version.

if you aren't comfortable using another image software, there is another workaround! if you use imgur as an image host and upload a bmp picture, it automatically turns it into a png :)

Actually the basic MS paint is on the XP and doesn't have any problems! It's when I take a picture from the XP that's a .bmp and change it on the Win 10 is where it happens.

Honestly I'm fine using what I have ... I was just basically wanting to know if anyone else had experienced the same thing w/Win 10 comps and showing the differences I'd experienced. For some reason I always get comps that have more quirks than others! The best one I've had since starting using internet is the XP but since it's no longer supported I didn't have a choice. I love my 10 for everything except my game (one if it's quirks is not being able to use the game on it no matter what fixes are available! Believe me I've tried them all)!

Thank you both for your input ... I truly appreciate all the suggestions and help!
