i made a sleeve patch for the FIA faction

i tried to export from photoshop also on tga and png on texview 2 , with and without alpha channel but the transparent background is always white, someone has a good tutorial or solution for this? the square patch i don't like

thanks in advance

Have you saved the .paa in texview with suffix _CA?

_CO is for colormaps without alpha transparency and _CA is for color with alpha transparency.

Its a convention not a disqualifier. Open up Photoshop and create a new image, and leave it blank. Add a layer but don't do anything, delete the "background" layer and you should have a checkerboard style image going. Then take your shield image and paste it, create a new layer. Now you should be seeing a blank layer (checkerboard) and your image, save the PSD as a .png and then see if it takes hold as a transparent image through TexView. Pain in the ass workflow but better than configging.
