EFLITE MSR ICON DEVO7E, HELP RGB565

I have done a .bmp for DEVO7E in BMP. Gimp for windows does not include the option to export it to RGB565 and I can not find a decent converter.
Can anyone convert the file or can tell me an easy program to perform this conversion ?
Cheers,
Lyndros

This is what I done.
1. open your file by Windows 7 Paint
2. "Save as" -> BMP 24bit format
3. Open it with GIMP 2.8
4. Export -> Windows BMP format
now you can use advanced option .....
done

Thanks for your tip after exporting to 24 BIT Bmp, the advanced options appeared and I could export to RGB565.
I loaded in my transmitter and works like a charm.
Here you have the new working image already exported.
Btw,
What is this softare that you are using to edit the models ?
I have just started with the deviation firmware

Thanks

Edit models? you mean model icon or config?
I use GIMP to edit model icon(I am really not good at this!

About model config,I just use TX to edit all parameter.

Thanks so much guys!
I don't know why, but I was not having any luck with icons even following the steps until this thread.
Now I "finally" have a MSR icon!
Cheers!!
