A little birdie told me a couple of folks were asking for it during my hiatus, so there it is. Hope it continues to help, and as always, if it doesn't make sense, just holler!

Yes.

When you get to the "Save to Alpha" window (no matter which of the two methods you use), all you'll see in the preview is black and white -- whatever is black in the preview will be transparent in the game.

And you're welcome =)

Roo, you are so welcome =)

Textures are so much fun -- tattoos are really easy once you know how to create the alpha channel, and from there it's just a short hop to custom clothing [ although making *nice* custom clothing is an art form unto itself and requires much practice, patience and not a small amount of talent ].
