Heya,
I've been using Strange Eons to work on a custom expansion for Arkham Horror, and have been very impressed with the quality of the program, and how well it works.
Unfortunately I've run into one problem that's brought everything to a grinding halt, and it is frustrating me to no end.
The image files used for many of the images in the Strange Eons resources are in JP2 (Jpeg 2000) format. I'm having a lot of difficulty finding software that I can use to edit or convert this file type, since it's apparently a pretty new image compression format. I just want to use some of my own icons for locations (as in the plugin editor example) but don't have a JP2 compatible image editor, and converting them to PNG and back isn't working.
I tried the trial version of BatchIt Ultra to convert- and it's fine for converting from JP2 to PNG, but then can't go back to JP2 again (or at least when it tries, all my images come out as a grey square.)
Photoshop has a jp2 plugin, but it's expensive. (I'm also just using the trial version of Photoshop CS4, so that's not a long-term solution anyway). Paint.NET doesn't support JP2. Gimp supposedly has a plugin, but the comments on the source code download page indicate that it doesn't work properly.
Surely with the popularity of the Strange Eons program, someone else has solved this problem. Any suggestions?
