How do i copy my grayscale img into an rgb img?

[RedStorm 0]

Topic title says it all. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I use Paint Shop Pro 8. I used Col Klink's amazing tutorial, but when I converted the tga's into ase's, I get distorted islands. I heard it was fixed by copying and pasting your grayscale into an rgb img. If one of you could say how exactly that would work (what menus to select etc.), I would be very thankful.

bump, please reply guys. I'm really stuck on this (I know, it's probably very, very easy to do, but bear with a newbie )

Did you add the alpha channel?

Redstorm plz send me your tga file to me at [email protected] and i will have a look to see what you are doing wrong.

I'm getting a simular problem (distorted islands) I used kegetys TGA~ASE tool, but the problems at PPPro6 I think. It says something like "due to limitations (or options you've chosen) the image will be saved merged" after adding the mask. Where am I going wrong? ...

Is RBG a different file format or is it the same as TGA?...

Right! Sorted!! I was'nt using the 'save to alpha channel' option in the 'masks' menu before saving to TGA I was 'applying the mask' and saving straight to TGA, which I assume is RedStorms problem as well?...

Prob is i had the same problem and thought i was saving it as a 32 bit tga but it was only 24bit. He hasnt emailed me so he must have sorted it out.
