hey I made some of my a friends a tutorial on how to make custom trasnparent sprays and I thought I would post it. A lot of people are having trouble doing it, but i found an easy way to do it in Photoshop CS.
1. Load Photoshop>New>
Height/Width – 16,32,64,128,256 (choose any of those sizes for both the height and width, ex. 128x128, 32x64)
Resolution 72, Pix/Inch
Color Mode – RGB 8 bit
Transparent background
2. Create image
3.Magic wand the background and delete, or leave blank to make transparent (the checkerboard texture means it will be transparent).
4.Select > Load Selection > make sure that Channel entry is transparent.
5. Select > Save Selection > OK (now you just saved a alpha layer)
6. On left click on channels tab under layers panel. Check for alpha channel layer.
6. Save As..
8. Save as 32bit
9. Load up CS:Source, go to options>import spray, find your image and press ok.
10.Your done. :thumbs:
Hope this makes it easier for you guys. PM me if you have any questions.
Also to let you know, if your texture setting in CS is on medium or low, the sprays wont look as nice as they do on high. Have fun!
