Transparency in Squad Logos ?

Recommended Posts

Ok... I figured how to make one using Paint Shop Pro 7 by piecing everyones suggestions together.

1. Open your saved logo (*.jpg).  Resize the image to be </= 256X256 pixels (image - resize)

2. Select the "magic wand" on the left side toolbar

3. Click on logo (should see an outline of logo and outer border).

4. Selection - invert  (make sure "tool option" is set to "match mode" RGB value, "tolerance" 10, and "feather" 0)

5. Edit - copy

6. File - new...  Make sure the new image deminsions are 256X256, "Resolution" 72, "Background color" Black, and "Image Type" 24bit.

7. Edit - paste - as new layer

8. Select "magic wand" again, click on the newly created image and you should see and outline of the logo and outer border, as before.

9. Selection - Invert (now you should see just the outline of the logo).

10 Selection - Save to alpha channel (you should see a preview of the alpha channel; where the logo should be is all white surrounded by black)

11. Save this as a *.tga file (Truevision Targa).  You will get a message stating something about being able to save only one alpha channel (that's all you want).

12. Open TextView (you get from download section of www.flashpoint1985.com) and drop image in to this application and save it as a *.paa file

YOU ARE DONE AND HAVE A TRANSPARENT LOGO!!!!

Thanks to everyone for their help!

Respectfully,

Yes it certainly would, maybe you could make your own grunts but that is too difficult for some of us..?
