Robin, I've moved your thread to Design and Textures.

ok ty

Once you have done whatever it is you are doing,erase everything you *don't* want to show so you can see the grey/white checkers behind your work.

Goto LAYERS tab up top,click 'NEW MASK LAYER' move your mouse down to FROM IMAGE and left click. In the litte window that pops up make sure the bottom button (Source Opacity) Is the only thing checked. Click OK.

Goto LAYERS tab up top again,Look near the bottom of the drop down menu for LOAD/SAVE MASK.In the next drop window that opens,click SAVE MASK TO ALPHA CHANNEL. A window appears showing you your work in white,with a black background all around it.That is the Alpha channel. Hit SAVE.

Now goto FILE tab up top>SAVE AS. Name your work, and where it says SAVE AS TYPE
Be sure to save it as a Truevision Targa (*.tga) File.

And thats it. When you are in game, UPLOAD FILE,find the work you have just been working on from the folder you saved it to. The window in SL will pop up with your image preveiw,and if its worked ok, you will see your image surrounded by the grey/white checkedboard background.

Hope that helps. Good luck

If you follow the above advice, you'll want to go back and color in what you removed, or use a tool like these free Solidify plug-ins. Otherwise, your image will be flattened onto a white background, and this can lead to white halos around the opaque parts of your image.
