ext, select File>New. When the New Image window appears,
make the width and height of the new bitmap 16 x 7:
NOTE: Width and Height define the size of the bitmap in
pixels—16 pixels wide x 7 pixels tall. These numbers
also correspond to a sign’s columns and rows—16
columns wide x 7 rows tall.

Most image editing
programs create images
similar to Paint Shop Pro.
However, if you are not
using Paint Shop Pro,
consider using software
that has a zoom feature so
you can increase the size
of the bitmap for ease of
editing.

Because a maximum of 8
colors can be used on
signs, select 16 colors
instead of 256 in your
image editing program.
We are using 7 because
this is the height of a
single line of normal text
on a sign.
