    Default Re: TGA and transparent backgrounds

    and in gimp draw window on transparent background and fill with semi transparent white

    if you are working the other way round and want to remove an area - post it, up and we can take a look at what needs to be done

    in both these examples the 'window shape' is on a layer above the shell pic

    Photoshop supports tga files with true transparency in place of alpha channel. http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef999eb

    You can download a tga plug-in that supports alpha channel.

    Here is something toplay with. It's very simple. Just save it as a tga file and see what you can do.

    Is this a challenge or are you asking for someone to do the work for you?

    Neither. I have cracked it myself with a few prompts from you guys.

    It would seem that i did everything right except saving the image with the Alpha channel in it.

    Anyway here is the result.

    The leading is not small enough for the final result, but at least i know how to do it now.

    I created the alpha channel mask with psp7, but re-saved the image after opening it with adobe photoshop.
    When using the "save as" option in adobe you are given the option to tick an alpha channel box which in psp you are not.
    This was the difference that made the whole thing work.

    Thanks for all the responses.
