Default Re: What picture editing program?

The size of your flag is 44x28 pixels

If it's for the Menu flags the entire image must be 40x25. The flag would be 37x22 and then there's the 3 pixel shadow.

If it's for 'on map' units the whole image must be 35x35. The vanilla 'on map' flags are about 21x12, with the rest of the image invisible pink.

Download an original flag, using SHP Edit, to a BMP file and you will see the original sizes and layout.

Also, don't forget that after you have uploaded your BMP, reload the new SHP file with SHP Edit and then hit the 'SP Fix' button, and the 'Show' button, and then adjust the flag to the correct position, and then hit the 'Write' button.
