Default [Q] Why is Photoshop distorting the images?
I'm trying to color these images for a red theme I am trying to make but whenever I open them in Photoshop, they get all pixelated and distorted. Why is this? Attached is a comparison.

Ahh I got it. I have to do the actual editing in ImageReady and then save the file in Photoshop. I guess ImageReady is better with .png files...weird.

Maybe it has to do with the resolution? As in the resolution is a bit low, hence the reason for it being pixelated. A bit OT, but it is also possible to make some orange icons?

A bit more vibrant/richer, but very good. Now if they can make the Droid eye orange too. Thanks.

Golden Eye with the orange icon would be pretty nice imo. Thanks.
