So i am trying to edit an icon pack that has an index lock on it.

I know to unlock it you go to image > mode > rgb color.

However doing this drastically reduces the image quality.

Below is the original still with the index layer:

Apologies the icon above is white (on a white background)!

Here it is unlocked and edited with loss of quality :

The original is a .PNG and the saved edited version is a PNG.

The original file is only 1kb not that I'd think that would make any difference. But when I save it there seems to be some little specks that appear eg the very top line on the left it seems to protude. And the bottom right inside there is a dot of white.

All I've done is unlocked the index and re-saved and it just seems to deteriate in quality.

Any help appreciated.
