My Lightwave cannot read Photoshop files. Even JPG files are wrong. TGA's have wrong colour palette.




Bah. What a bunch of ... well ...

In any case, I use Photoshop. The PSD files it saves out can be read easily by any application I have (including 3D Studio MAX). Did you ever consider that perhaps it is a Lightwave problem and not a Photoshop problem? After all, PSD IS the proprietary Photoshop file format.

JPGs also save perfectly fine. The only problem with Photoshop JPGs is that they are bloated and have to be "trimmed down" using software like Fireworks. But other than that they are JPGs that work as they are supposed to.

TGAs also function as they should. I am not sure what you are talking about with a color palette for TGA files because, by their nature, TGA files are 24 bit or 32 bit. 24 bit and 32 bit files do not have a palette so to speak.
