OK, so I continued working on this, got the cmd prompt figured out and managed to convert the photo I want to use into an .img file. The problem is I too keep getting a file that's 1875000 bytes. Anyone have an idea how to get to 1920000 bytes on Windows XP?
Exactly what kacir said.

I did it with your image and it seems to work for me on Windows 7. Here's the code I ran:
Code:
C:\Users\xxxxxxx>convert logo.png -depth 8 -separate -swap 0,2 -combine
rgba:logo.img
Are you sure it says 1875000 bytes and not 1,875 KB, because they are not the same. For me it says 1875 KB, but when I click on the properties info of the image it says
Code:
Size: 1.83 MB (1,920,000 bytes)
which is what we need. The reason is that
1 KB= 1024 bytes
1875 KB * 1024 bytes/KB = 1,920,000 bytes.
