No Pedro, the pink color doesn't become invisible in Dromed. In OldDark, we only had single color transparency in GIFs, there was no PNG support, and most people made the transparent color pink or neon green so it was easy to see which pixels were transparent, but the actual transparent color was whatever was the first color in the palette, at index 0. You don't have to do that any more, just have transparency in your image (which shows as a faint grey and white checkerboard pattern in PSP, don't know what it looks like in PS) like in the one Mike made for you, and save it as a PNG and that's all you have to do.

Make sure that you save it as 24 bit PNG with ALPHA CHANEL TRANSPARENCY. There are multiple encoding formats for PNG files. That's the one you want when you have transparency in the texture. If you have no transparency, save as 24 bit PNG with no transparency.

I don't know about earlier versions of Photoshop, but in C6 and later the transparency is saved by default. Once you've created the transparent areas, you just save it as a .png file and that's it.

This one also has the advantage of being power of two. Ready to use.

Thank you Russ, LarryG, Mike, Necrobob nice job, i have around 5 or 6 grate doors that need transparency, would you like to take a look at them and see if its possible to use them as obj texture?
Tannar on 27/1/2016 at 16:17
Sure.

Put them up for us to download, sure, I'll take a crack at one or two. Although you'd be better served learning how to do this yourself, it's not that complicated.

On the first one, are you wanting the railing at the top or the designs on the dark background below it? Or both as separate images?
Look, all this involves mostly is learning to use the selection tool in Photoshop to select just the parts you want, copying and pasting them onto a transparent background, and then cleaning it up by softening edges and removing defects. All of the iron designs on white backgrounds here would be great for you to learn on as there is little clean up to do, so I would recommend you teach yourself using those using the guidance we've already provided earlier in this thread. If you'd learn to do these things on your own, you wont be so dependent on others, or have to wait on them to find time to do things for you. :D
