Please help; 8900 wallpaper problems

Greetings!
First, thanks to bonch for the wonderful Brewsky8900 !!!

I'm having some problems; I've uploaded some wallpapers, and when I try to display them on the phone, the phone displays a message that the file is invalid, and asks if I want to delete it.

I have very little stuff on the phone, so I don't think I'm running into a memory problem.

The wallpaper images that are giving me trouble were downloaded as bitmaps (from Aeonfluxx.com, primarily), and I've used Arcsoft's Photo Studio 5 to convert them to .png files.

I HAVE successully uploaded and displayed two wallpapers that were in .png format from the beginning, however.

Any idea what's wrong; what I can try?
(One would suspect the culprit to be the bmp to png conversion, but I thought Photo Studio was a pretty good app...?)

Thanks for any help!

Okay, I've got it.

Apparently, the phone doesn't like the "version" of a .png that PhotoStudio 5 produces.
Using MS Photo Editor to do the bmp to png conversion results in a file the phone does display.
(Odd...but oh well...)
