===Fixing Sprites and Textures from the Mobile Port===
Ripping sprites and textures from the mobile version of Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is quite easy. However, you'll need to fix them before extracting them:

'''1. Fixing the colors'''

First, import your sprite or texture by drag-and-dropping it onto the program. Next, right-click the box circled in the image below:

[[File:STH4E1 - PVR Image Fix - Step 1.png|top|250px]]

Then select "sRGB".

[[File:STH4E1 - PVR Image Fix - Step 2.png|top|250px]]

'''2. Fixing the alpha channel (transparency)'''

Not every sprite and texture has an alpha channel, but some do. To fix them, you'll need to click on the "A" button near the bottom-right corner of the window:

[[File:STH4E1 - PVR Image Fix - Step 3.png|top|250px]]

The end result should look something like this:

[[File:STH4E1 - PVR Image Fix - Step 4.png|top|250px]]

'''3. Exporting a sprite or texture'''

To export a sprite or texture, go to "File > Save Image..." and save it wherever you want.
