It's kinda hard to explain what I want but...
The second snippet can do what I want but PaintShopPro 7 can't do the alpha mask right...
It can't seem to make them transparent like yours. It always ends up as a completely white mask...
The only way that I can really make transparent masks is if I make them in 2bit colors.
Ahhh.... I see.
Download Imagemagick (free) and then use the following in a BAT file:
Code:
@echo off
cls
rem ###############################################
rem ## Here we will cram the RGB and Alpha data
rem ## into a single file. Ready for use in effect
rem ###############################################
convert alpha.bmp -channel R -negate -separate tempalpha.tga
composite -compose CopyOpacity tempalpha.tga rgb.bmp finalimage.tga
pause
In that code "alpha.bmp" is the image you want to stick in the alpha channel. "rgb.bmp" is the image that will live in RGB channels. The (2) are combined into "finalimage.tga".
