Alpha Layers in PS7

Ive seen many times in the forums questions like "I dont have an alpha channel!"

So Ive decided to write a tutorial about Alpha Channels.

Some of the TGAs when opened in PS7 dont "have" a alpha channel.

So this is the way to add one.

1. In the right corner there is a box called "Layers"
2. In that box theres a tab called "Channels", Click it.
3. Then ull see a RGB, Red, Blue and Green Channels
4. A bit down theres a button for creating a new channel click it.
5. The new channel will be called Alpha 1 or something like that.
6. Some times the pic get black, then click the RGB "eye" button.
7. Voila! Heres your Alpha channel!

Plz comment!

HERE IS MY QUESTION:

How do you alpha out a weapon??

Well when in alpha channel, pain the things that you dont want to appear ingame in black...

Works in the most cases, NOTE:
If the weapon has teamcolor on it, youll have to remove the teamcolor too.
Refer to the stickied thread in this forum.

Why do I sense a slight <SARCASM> tag? :////

If we say you don´t have ps7 and
only have psp8?
how to do then??
is it just to edit the alpha layers there also?

I think you should do a toutorial for people with
psp8))

but to anyone with psp:
Buy PS7!!

@AoH

Its almost impossible to do Alphas with PSP8, lets hope Jasc patches it.
But since I never use PSP I cant write a tut for theese ppl who does.


[edit] And i dont think any1 here has like 649 bucks to just "waste" on PSCS (The latest PS v)

dont be evil and sarcasm

i didnt know how to alpha out weapons or stuff, thanks!
