Kabukiman's transparency logo tutorial for Adobe Photoshop 6

Creating transparent Squad-Logo for ImGame-Usage while using Adobe's Photoshop 6:

  1. Prepare your squad logo as usual. When finished, resize to 64x64 Pixels.
  2. Bounce/merge down to 2 Layers, Backgroundlayer and Logolayer (with transparency).
  3. Switch to the Layer holding the Logo, select all transparent Areas (in Photoshop via "select" menue, "Load Selection" "<layername> transparency").
  4. Choose "Select" - "invert selection".
  5. Create a new Alpha-Channel (click on the Icon next to the Trashbin on the Layer-Palette).
  6. Switch on the newly created Alpha-Channel (click on the Eye), your logo-transparency should look light-red now.
  7. Delete the selection-mask (if it's still there).
  8. Now save your Logo as .tga, 32 Bit including Alpha-Channels (make sure it's checked).
  9. Open BIS'  TextView program and load your logo.tga file.
  10. Save as.. "logo.paa" <-- .PAA is important, somehow the .PAC messes up Logos.
  11. Change entry in squad.xml to "logo.paa".
  12. Upload both files (squad.xml and logo.paa).

Done!
