Clear background textures

[Dropbear 0]

I am trying to make a texture with clear background

I use paint shop pro 7

which does what I want except when I save the jpg, tga or gif I get a warning saying that I can only save 1 alpha channel

and then my texture is back to having a solid white background.

Can anyone help?

P.S I have read through the old post re texturing and obviously had no luck there so now I am here.

Transparant Textures

[jojimbo_No_1 0]

i use psp7 all the time,

create the texture leaving the

transparent part ..transparent.

then "select all" from selections

and click on the image with the

selection tool in a transparent

section and the texture will become

highlighted.

then save to alpha channel.

i always save as a photoshop.psd at this point

so you can re-edit the texture as you left it.

then save as .tga,but dont worry

about it becoming white as the alpha channel

will only allow the texture to be seen.

sometimes its best to have a background

a similar colour to the texture,but its not

absolutely nessacary.

load up the tga in texview to view it.
