I'm trying to make a texture which has transparent parts, I have set the alpha channel so that everything which is white is transparent. I saved it as a tga file. However this doesn't become transparent. I am using photoshop 7. Any ideas?

Thanks

Upgrade to 7.0.1 via the free patch from adobe.com. 7.0's alpha channel functionality is broken. See the transparency guide at the top of the forum for more information.

Also, so you know, you've got the setting backwards. The proper assignment is for white to be opaque, black to be transparent. Reverse that setting, and then invert colors on your alpha channel to make it right.
