Can you make them Better

I was Just wandering if you can make pictures of boot skins better... I've just made my first boot skin and it looks like crap to say the least... so i was just wandering if you can make a better quality image instead of just the normal 16 bit bmp.... like could you make the picture a gif or jpg or png to make it better quality

Bootskins are not 16 bit....if they were no-one would complain about them.

They are 16 colour which is 4 bit.

To get a decent image you need to choose a suitable one....that does not have too complex a palette to start with...and pick an appropriate dither method to reduce colour count....
