How to make an image with a transparent background?

Could someone help we to produce an image with a transparent background.

I have both Paint Shop Pro 7 and Adobe Photoshop Elements and can persaude either of them to produce a suitable image with an alpha channel mask.

I can also produce a GIF with a transparent pallette entry.

But I can't for the life of me find a way to turn either of these into an image in the format required by Counterstrike (namely .JPG, .BMP, .TGA).

I lose the alpha information when I save as a .TGA and end up with a flat, opaque background colour which looks awful.

What have the people on this thread been using to get their impressive results?
 
heres a bad quality webcam clip of my spray. its my first spray so go easy on me :)

LOOKS ALOT BETTER IN GAME!
keep posting ya sprays people :thumbs:
 

this was fairly simple to put together, but I absolutely adore it. Plus, domo-kun kicks his fair share of arse.
 
Does anyone have a link to CS:S sprays? Not only a beginning tutorial but also one that talks about things like depth and transparency? Did I just miss the link or something? Thanks
 
:eek: ..........

Freakin Windows system restore fubar'd my photoshop so once I fix it I'm going to tackle that shadow problem. Notice on the top right... the shadow is going straight right instead of at an angle. I certainly notice it.
 
Can someon PLEASE post either the "C bombsite" or the "STFU N00b Brown guy" ones in usable format? Thank YOU!

Thanks

Thanks craig for the tutorial on transparancy/dshadows.

Made about five so far [two here below]. But could not get vtex to work [tga2vtf]. I just loaded my .tga file into CS:S and it made the .vtf, etc files automatically. CS:S doesn't create such a good output .vtf as the vtex probably does though...

Now I can do the whole tutorial by memory in about ten minutes ANd get a nice image! Thanks a lot!

Oakside yours do look pretty low quality. Vtex works, you are probably just not doing it right or reading things wrong?
