Create an alpha channel with Photoshop Elements... how?

YAY! i've solved it!

i downloaded The GIMP, opened them in .TGA, applied a transparent layer and erazed what i wanted


Problem Solved

Lol I am amazed that using The GIMP actually was a good thing. How come you couldent get the stuff to work in Photoshop?

no idea, might be a connection with the fact that saving an PS Elements file in a different format than the standard PS formats ((everytime i saved files in something else, i got the message "Some changes will not be saved using the selected format")), and PS Elements does not have any way to create an alpha layer

Sounds like an shitty program, get Adobe Photoshop or Paintshop Pro instead.

well, it got a wide array of tools to make the picture look cool

why didnt you just use a .png?

why bother? i would've screwed it up anyway

i've found a way to do it with The GIMP

@ PurplePoot: Which program is actually able to convert PNG to BLP and back? I use War3Viewer and it only can do BMP, TGA an JPG.

ah, whatever, problem solved.

but i'd like to see the program that can convert .PNG -> .BLP

After the stuff on the PNG is done cant you convert that to another filetype then?..
