Graphics / Loading PNG?

« on: May 18, 2010, 04:21:45 am »

I've just been going through the tutorial and trying things out. I don't seem to be able to load PNG using Image.LoadFromFile()

When running:

Code: [Select]


  Image Image;
  if (!Image.LoadFromFile("./sprites2.png")) {
    std::cerr << "Could not load image" << std::endl;
    return -1;
  }


I get the message:

Failed to load image "./sprites2.png". Reason : PNG not supported: 8-bit only

The PNG is a simple one created using GIMP and it works in other viewers. Is there something else that I should be doing to load PNGs?
