DS homebrew announcements > Importing an image from PC to Colors

I've got a logo I'd like to work on in colors. I've scanned it to PNG and moved to the microSD card. But it's not "seen" by Colors - I assume because it's missing the .drw file. So how can I create a .drw file to do this?

First make a blank .drw file by clearing the screen and saving. Then replace the .png file while not touching the .drw file. But I would watch out if you're planning to upload your image to the gallery, as playback always starts from a white canvas, and if any of the .png remains in the final drawing, they'll know you traced an existing .png image.
