STEP 1: Download Paint Shop Pro and it's Crck. insert "a" between "r" and "c"

STEP 2: Install It

STEP 3: Get Image Exractor 2

STEP 4: Fire up Paint Shop Pro

STEP 5: Make a new image, 64x64, 24 bit, Black background. The rest doesn't matter in the window.

STEP 6: Draw on it and make things

STEP 7: Give it an alpha channel (go to masks, New, Show All and then go to Masks, Save to alpha channel. Call it "Alpha Channel".)

STEP 8: Save, but make sure you save as a TGA (Truevision Targa) and click on the Options... Button and selecting Uncompressed. Then save.

STEP 9: Open the image in Image Extractor 2 (Open -> Image). Make sure it shows in the box to the right, then go to Save -> Image. Select BLizzard image maP (.blp) and save your file as whatever.blp. You have to type the .blp, sometimes the extractor will save as a tga.

Voila! You know have a button. You need to make it into .blp format elsewise the file will be huge (sometimes up to 2 mb!) when in TGA Form. The images are stunningly smaller, and usable in your map (import manager for TFT people and WinMPQ for WC3 people). Hope this helped!

...and can I please have some points?

Hey theJ89, do you know where I can d/l PhotoShop7.0 besides the peer to peer softwares such as imesh, kazza etc.?? I've search the web too with no luck emote_confused

I use to have it(d/l from imesh) but, I reformated my HDD, and I CANNOT install imesh caz I found out imesh was causing my war3 to freeze up when I host war3 maps (ya, I know it sounds weird but its true)

I hope a mod dont see this post and delete this, or worse yet, banning me emote_sweat emote_sweat

theJ89	You can download a demo of photoshop from the website ( i think) and get a crack to make it last forever.
