Transparent logos - made easy

[RN Malboeuf 12]

you cant use the text view that Code masters supplies in any way to make a Alpha Channel and thusly it is not even needed in any way what so ever, it wont even make your logos transparent, it has to be removed from the FAQ

in Paint Shop Pro 7 have your image ready

make sure the backdrop is black and that your logo is on it

select from the menu the following

MASK>NEW>FROM IMAGE

click on ANY NON-ZERO VALUE

hit OK

it will cut out the black back drop

then hit the menu again

MASK>SAVE TO ALPHA CHANNEL

hit ok and then enter any name where it says "Selection #1" (I chose "Alpha" )

Save you file as a TGA and your done

rename your XML <picture>logo.jpg</picture> to <picture>logo.tga</picture> ect

and there you have it

you'll</a> have to dload it and view it in your editor or try it on your web server

I'm sure some one can explaine how to do this in other graphical editors like Photo shop

yes, but many dont understand it

to date I've made over 20 logos for different squads, I don't feel like doing all over again just for transparancy
