I spent hours embellishing a jacket I made in Photoshop but now I can't save it as a tga!
I can save earlier versions of the same jacket as a targa but why not this final version?
I am really stumped. I have never run into this before.

Nevermind I figured out my problem, some how I had changed the bits per channel from 8 bits/channel to 16 bits/channel. I'm not sure what this even means...lol. Oh well I am a lot more happier now!

i know you said you figured it out, but you could also save your files as .png instead of .tga

True, but if the OP had created transparency in her file by making an alpha channel, simply dumping it into png format wouldn't preserve the transparency.
