i would appreciate ANY help thnks":)

Resize your images. Oh, and you screwed up the alpha channels or saved too many levels when you did. Try unselecting everything you are doing before you save. Things like having the box select thing still ctive when saving.

i didnt touch the alpha channels. is that the problem?

i open it in PS7 ( i have the targa plugin) but i dont do anythin to em and im not sure what i am suppose to do to them (the alpha channels). i am just changing the skin of the thing.

i then save it as an uncompressed 24 bit targa. and put it back in. dont resize or select anything.

ok ... i open up the targa and then go to channels.
there is no alpha there but when i say create new layer Alpha1 appears and puts a light red color over everything... should i delete this?

Just save as 32bit.

saving it as 32 bit did the trick thanks
