U all no this but some mite not. To rip a rom image and load it into Zquest. right click on quest> graphics> tiles> Grab> File. (when hitting file look for a .Bmp or .Gif)

I prefer taking screenshots of the game, ripping the tiles from there, reducing the file to 16 (or less) colors, and then grabbing them in ZC, recoloring them with the palettes I got from romview. I don't know if it's the easiest way to go about it, but it's what I've been doing for my LTTP tiles.

Remember when doing that to still have a screenshot handy of the tile in action, or you could make a very dangerous mistake.
For example, you know the LttP-style push block that everyone's been using, which appears in Sludge's work and the Pure tileset? It's so wrong it's not even funny. A few pixels can and do make all the difference.
Compare it to a screenshot of LttP and you'll see what I mean.

A very good point. I have a folder of over 600 screenshots. When i rip i usually have them open in the background in photoshop while i work in a windowed ZC (back before you could window ZC I used two computers next to each other).
