Need Help with Alpha Channel in Paint Shop Pro

PSP 7.0 is the program I'm using, and I cannot get my TGA file to register in SL.

It just shows a blank screen, and won't upload.

The help file says it saves alphas as a 24bit color + 8 bit alpha (for 32 bit) That is the requirement as I understand it, but it actually locks me up when I try to load it.

Does anyone have any hints or suggestions? My only option is a TGA file to save alphas!

Hi,

I've never used PSP so I don't really see what the problem is but would this tutorial by Cristiano Midnight help?

Targa is the only way to go to save alpha, not only for you but all of us. And not only for alpha. You'll get better results by saving as .tga than as .jpg, even when the image doesn't contain alpha.

Sorry about my rather blunt answer but I'm on my mobile now and thought a quick answer was in order. I'm sure more knowlegdeable residents will come for your rescue. Meanwhile check the stickied thread for a wealth of information!

Thank you. I'm sure this might help.
