On the image above - can you see the black lines?
I did those by left clicking on the picture and outlining the area.
Then - back up to menu bar - click on EDIT
from drop down dialogue - choose - CROP SELECTION

Great!
But I'm not happy with the colour - I want my white horse to look - white!

This image is quite light, so no need to increase brightness. I'll just increase contrast

You can do this one image at a time if you are a perfectionist, or by BATCH CONVERSION

Oops - see - knew I'd forget something vital
All of the above would be completely wasted unless you go back up to menuFILESAVE YESAfter each step and ONLY save after each step if you like the result.
Practice on images or make a copy of your folder before making your tileset.When you click on save a grey dialogue box appears to the right of the image display - if you move the slider at the top of this to the halfway point it keeps the quality of your image, but reduces the "bit" size - very useful for large images.
