Post Color Predicament
I originally posted this in the Color Swatches forum but I dont think I'll get any luck there so this is my question:

Is it possible to take a photo and change all of the colors into the one's from the CC swatch?

Copy paste it into a 256 colour bitmap, and Bobs your uncle.

Take a sprite that's in Cortex palette, paste in your photo (in XP paint or something like it).
Alternatively, follow my Gimp tutorial on how to palette an image.

Somebody said that in Paint.net you could just save it as a 8-bit bmp image.

Wouldn't be the right palette. You have to apply CC's palette to it, and following Duh's tutorial is your best bet.

Well it's the most complete guide we have as far as I know, and easiest to follow.
You can certainly try the paste into paint option but there's not a full tutorial on it.

I think you can do something like paste the palette over the image or something.
I'm unsure since I only used Paint.Net 2 times.

Truthfully I would say to just to get GIMP. It is easier IMHO.

Open up the palette.bmp, if it's not set to 256 colors set it to that, under color depth or something similar, then paste in the image you want palette'd.
