I'm trying to make a superman costume and I got the logo to upload with a transparent background... i put on the shirt and then click on fabric, and then select the superman logo... what it does is, it makes my shirt disappear, and then puts the logo right on the undershirt... thing is i was using the undershirt to immitate the yellow belt... right now it looks fine as the logo keeps wanting to go on the undershirt instead of the shirt that i'm trying to put it on, but now i'm missing the yellow belt which 'adds' to the costume  its weird because if I try to putthe logo on the undershirt then it just goes on his skin.... its basically going one clothing under everything I try to upload the image... any help? I used PS cs2 to make the alpha channel following the method 2 btw |

Hi Emir! Ummm, yeah. It kind of has to do that, because you've just created a shirt that is totally transparent, except for the logo. So the whole shirt, except the logo, vanishes. Unlike a skin, the Shirt fabric isn't a tattoo that will appear on the fabric. It's the fabric itself. So anything that is transparent on the texture is also transparent in the shirt. That's how we make things like lace, low collars, criss-cross straps, and all the other details of clothing.  However, for your purposes, the fix is easy. Make a new Jacket, and use the logo as the fabric for that. It will appear on the shirt, just the way you want it, leaving the undershirt to show as a belt. (Don't forget to either use a totally transparent "fabric" for the Jacket bottom, or use the sliders to pull the bottom past the white default fabric. Don't forget to use the sliders to close the jacket, too. I'm not sure, and can't load SL on this computer, but I think the default jacket is open in the front.) Hope this helps!
