Title: TGA Help
Post by: BugHuman on March 05, 2009, 09:33:26 pm

All my TGA files open as jsut a white(blank) space. They have worked before though. They do this, now, with Photoshop, paintshop pro, and GIMP. How do I fix them?

The image is 100% white and alpha.
Apparently your editor uses white as a background behind the alpha.
You can probably change it somewhere.

TGA format has four channels:

R G B A.

Red, Green, Blue and Alpha. Alpha is the transparency/opacity of a layer.

Well, by post a few I meant upload the actual TGAs somewhere so we can download them and see them for ourselves.

Oh well, I guess the problem has been fixed anyway.
