It may sound tacky, but it really does work a treat.

DXT3 & Paint for me. Works every time (And also GIMP if I need to resize something.

thats a lot of converting from paint with DXT3 i did it also in the past but then i found covimx it will let me convert my psd files directly to bmp or dds

its easy and fast

I created a tutorial for people who dont know much about repainting. It does require adobe reader, or power point or similar program that allows the opening of a powerpoint presentation. Also I use photoshop, as it is much easier to work with paintkits, as they usually come in layered psd files.MSPaint is just a horrible program to use for painting.
