Well, repainting requires a program a little more sophisticated than, say, the default M$ Paint.

Are you sure you're using it properly? Run DXTBmp & select File/Open. The default mode is Any File. Leave it on that. It should open files in any conventional image format.

PS. When it's opened the file format will be indicated at the top of the DXTBmp UI. Take note of this for reference then double-click anywhere on the opened image to send it to your graphics editor for repainting. This will be M$ Paint by default but can be changed to open automatically in most graphics editors.
