Can someone please assist me with this neon Sign. I have tried everything to remove the white background to make it transparent but for some reason, the first and foremost being I am inept with this to some degree. I wanted it to appear 3 dimensional but the transparency issue is irking me :D

I'm attaching the jpg. In it I am trying make the pink letter 'glow' which I did, but cannot remove the background to make it transparent without making it a gif...

Any healp or suggestione would be greatly appreciated.

I would assume you made this in something like Photoshop or Paintshop Pro?

If you could send me the original .PSD or .PSP file with its layers (text needs to be on its own layer, separate from the background colour), I'd gladly convert that to a file that will work in-game. :)

You need to create an alpha channel and save it as a targa file to preserve the transparency. See http://66.137.11.217/index.html
