[Solved] Mipmaps - How do I have the correct number on my textures?

I searched around for this kind of question and couldn't seem to find anything about it.

I'm using Paint dot Net to edit the textures of default vehicles and modded vehicles. The mipmap number that seems to be most common is "8", but when I import the textures back in, it's either "1" because I didn't check the generate mipmaps box in Paint dot Net or "11" with any of the mipmap options selected. With mipmaps at either 1 or 11, the textures become blurry when zoomed out.

So my question is, how do I set the mipmaps level as "8"? There is also the checkbox "Weight colour by alpha", but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Any help is appreciated.

How many times will the problems I have be caused by my own ineptitude? 

SOLUTION: Do all the mipmap related stuff in Paint dot Net to set the level to 12, then when importing into a .ytd click properties on the image in OpenIV and change the mipmap level to 8.
