Better idea: Don't.

Hehe

I have a bling script that you can drop into a prim....it's a very subtle one, but can be adjusted to how often it 'blings' per second. I will be in game tonite around 6pm game time hopefully. IM me and I can send it to you on a notecard. :D

Hi Nyla!

As you may have gathered from the answers above, "Bling" isn't a Photoshop thing. It's a scripted effect. The "Bling" sparkles are actually particles. (And some people find it really, really annoying. Besides, most of the bling scripts are voice-activated on channel 0 (open chat), which can really contribute to lag.)

If you want yours to be different from all the others, you can make your own sparkle in PS. Just draw it on a transparent layer, make your alpha channel, upload it as a .tga, and use it for the image in the particle script. (Just replace whatever sparkle texture is currently there. Be sure to give it the same name, so that the script doesn't break.)

If you need more detailed instructions on any of this, let me know.

Hope this helps!
