i think u have to use DXTBMP and select the option on the right side that removes the mipmaps from your textures. oh and make sure u have AntiAliasing on in FS.

I'm not sure if this is how its meant to be done but I do the following:

- Disable all right side layers
- Enable all left side layers
- Use Image -> Image Rotation -> Flip Canvas Horizontal
- Use Edit -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal for any text/image layers that are back to front

Though I've probably got this in the wrong order as I am unsure whether the left side layers are already the right side up or whether they can be flipped with the canvas as I have done
