Help Textures colours in Interlude

[SSnakEE]

Hello guys.
I am creating textures in Photoshop then exporting them as  32 bit .TGA images (I was trying with 16 bit, but then alpha was not working in UnrealEd). Then of course importing into UnrealEd and making UTX files.
The problem I am facing is that colours in game seem to be different (like the game is supporting less colurs). Do you know maybe what can be reason of that?

You can see on example below some pixels are different colour, while in photoshop they are almost same colour as pixels next to them.



Thank you in advance for help

If memory serves me correctly, it had something to do with the compression that you choose/use - DXT1 and DXT3.

As Mike pointed out, there are many things that can go wrong, normally for buttons it's better to keep em as tga format rather than dds for better quality (at the cost of a little bit more file size)

if you can, make a clip of how you import the textures to unreal so we can see what's wrong

ok
1. You can see I am opening this .tga in PaintNet and it seems ok
2. After importing into unrealEd it looks different... no matter if I choose DTX1, 3, or 5.
3. After zooming in paint you can see texture looks different... and exactly same looks in game
