Perhaps the image editing tool you use is not saving the file correctly or in a modified format. Please provide more details.

Best regards.

If you try to compile with the original image, do you get the same error?

Best regards.

Clearly, compilation is not the problem. The GIMP seems to be changing the file in some way.

When exporting an image, aren't there some options available? Please make sure that the bitmap is not being compressed.

Best regards.

I see that your image has 32 bit color. As far as I know, Resample will only accept 24 bit bitmaps, so you may want to check that. Perhaps you are not flattening your image before exporting it.

Perhaps you could try something different if the GIMP modified bitmap does not compile correctly.

Resample will also accept TIFF files as a source. So, you could export your modified image as a TIFF image (make sure it is not RLE compressed) and see if that will compile correctly.

You will probably have to modify the inf file and change the name of your source file, since it will be a tif, not a bmp. Also, you will have to compile manually; just make sure the source image and inf file are in the same folder as Resample, then simply drag and drop the inf file on top of Resample.

Clearly, the GIMP is somehow changing your bitmap. There are not a lot of options when exporting a file as a bitmap, essentially just color depth, but check to see that there is nothing strange there.

Oh, and you might also check to see if you have the latest version of the GIMP and its dependent files.

Best regards.
