BMP files

TREETOP

Members +
I have just installed SP2 for FSX and I am changing some propeller problems in some of my port overs.
I have been able to do it with no problem, but have a question regarding the size of the BMP files.

I use DXTbmp and Paint Shop Pro 7.

The original bmp files are shown as below.
Width 256
Height 256
Horizontal resolution 96
vertical resolution 96
Bit depth 32
Frame count 1

Size 257 KB

My new bmp files is as follows.
Width 256
Height 256
Horizontal resolution 96
vertical resolution 96
Bit depth 32
Frame count 1

Size 347 KB

I was wondering why the original is 257 KB and the new one 347 KB.

I have tried everything to get it smaller but have had no luck.

Could someone explain why this happens?

Thanks.
 
Are you viewing the remade one in a folder by chance?
 
You have "mipmaps - include when saving" ticked in DXTBMP (far right of screen underneath the alpha channel)
