PSD/PNG to ARGB (4444)- BMP format

Dear all,

Has anybody worked on converting assets (building blocks)which are 24bit PNG
to
BMP (ARGB - 4444)format where in image data stores/(keep intact) alpha
values?

Or

Extracting BMP (ARGB - 4-444) from PSD files?
PSD's allow to extract XRGB (1-555)or RGB (565) or XRGB (4-444)
but it seems it needs some change in settings to manage ARGB (4-444)

Can anyone throw some light...

Thanking in advance
Rajesh Ghodke

[Event] Recap: IxDA Pittsburgh April Event at the ETC

On Wednesday, April 1st, IxDA Pittsburgh was hosted by CMU's
Entertainment Technology Center (ETC). Betsy McIver, a second year
masters student, met us in the lobby and introduced us to Quasi, a
conversational robot who tried to convince us that he was a little
boy. Quasi was the result of a student project that has since spun off
as the company Interbots ( http://www.interbots.com/ ).
