Help Needed (about sprays)

[§omeGuy]

what file type do you save as so you can use a cut out image (so i dont have to fill the entire square with colour) because i tried bmp and jpg and it just filled it out in white for me, which looks really bad

targa. which is .tga. You need photoshop or similar to save as that i believe.

You need to use alpha channels in photoshop then save them as .tga, there are tutorials all over just do a forum search.. u will find them.

Creating a spray with Photoshop:
1) Create your image.

2) Starting with a transparent image is always good

4) Select - Load Selection - make sure the Channel entry is "transparency"

5) Select - Save Selection - doesnt matter what yo u call it

6) There's a side panel with the tabs Layer/Channels/Paths. select Channels. there's your alpha layer

7) Save As: whatever.tga

8) Make damn sure you save it as 32bit
