Jan-09-02, 10:50 PM (EST) "Recovering lost alpha channels in PSP 7" Hello
Does anyone know how I can recover a lost alpha channel in Paint Shop Pro 7? I am working on these Durango & Silverton coaches, a repaint of John Fowlis's PO&N coaches, but I lost the alpha channnel for the windows as you can see. How do you get it back?Thanks

That's why you would create some skins using the TGA format, because that format supports them.For example you could create a skin for the side of a passenger car, then create an alpha channel mask that leaves the windows transparent, so that you can see the interior of the car. That's the problem that the Grizz is having; his windows ain't see-through anymore. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
