I am trying to make a tranparency using CS2. I do the steps to remove the background and save the image as a targa file but each time I upload it into SL, it still has a white background. is there a website or a tutorial where i can follow the steps to make a transparency? or if you are proficient in making transparencies w CS2 any helpful hints would be appreciated. this is becoming quite frustrating. thank you

See the big orange sticky at the top of this forum, entitled "Transparency & Alpha Channels: The Definitive Guide"? Read it.



(It's become a little bit difficult to read since LL turned off bbCode on the forums. Do your best to ignore the visible code tags, and focus on the content.)

In Photoshop, making transparent backgrounds is intuitively obvious.
