That file is in a special format used by syslinux.
You need to use a util named lss16toppm to convert it first to the ppm format:
| Code: | | lss16toppm logo.16 > logo.ppm |
Then you need to convert it from ppm to another format, for editing...
| Code: | | ppmtoxpm logo.ppm > logo.xpm |
Then, when you're done, you need to reverse everything: xpmtoppm, then ppmtolss16...
Or you can just create an entirely new image... just make sure to keep the number of colours low (16, for example) and make sure that the image is "indexed" (in Mtpaint: Image-->convert to indexed -- if it says there "convert to RGB" then the image is already indexed). Then you just need to do the compression part (xpmtoppm, then ppmtolss16).

Thanks Dougal!
My boot image have changed as your method.
"lss16toppm logo.16 > logo.ppm",Perhaps it‘s your typo.
I entry code,such as: lss16toppm<logo.16>logo.ppm

mtPaint can open and save "lss16" files directly. You can choose "LSS16" format in the "Save As" dialog if your image is indexed with 16 colours or less.

I didn't know that! That's really cool, Dmitry!  It will make a huge difference to those who want to make a custom boot image for their puplets, etc.
