Hello, I am making a custom ammo meter using Photoshop and this is the gray colour that I have used for part of the Alpha Channel:

But when I check the gray colour using the Eyedropper Tool, the red, green and blue values have automatically changed from 52, 52, 52 to 53, 53, 53:

This happens to quite a few colour values, not just 52, 52, 52.


I know I can stop the colour from changing automatically by making the image 16 bits, but I don't think Tool can convert it to a .bitmap. Is there another way of stopping the colour from changing automatically? Hopefully someone understands what I'm talking about, and help would be much appreciated!

If it automatically does that, then just offset the value you put in. Make it 51 so it becomes 52. I've really got no idea beyond that.
