gnasr74 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 i dont know what i am doing different but the alpha layers are not saving in photoshop. i thought you just have to outline the image, or outline the background and invert the selection. Then go to the channels and then create new channel. What am I forgetting? Please let me know. In the meantime can someone add an alpha layer to this image? Thank you 746_32K_MN-110_32b.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dpdurst Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Here ya go, Alpha layer done.. As for PS and doing the Layer, I open up the file and use the magic wand to highlight the area and then on the lower right select the channels tab and then layer button. I do a save as... and make sure alpha layer is selected. I have tried just doing save but that does not seem to work all the time. Hope this helps. 746_32K_MN-110_32b_alpha.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LonestarROB Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I dont understand the alpha layer stuff either. I've tried for weeks and nothing I do works. Trying to make a theme but been at a stand still for a month or so because I cant get some of the images to work properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
