GIMP Alpha Channel
Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2008 7:56 pm
So I opened up Jango's skin in GIMP and got really mad to see there was an alpha channel over it, so I couldn't see the skin. How do I fix this?

go to tools, color tools, levels and on output levels raise it so your skin will appear darker and visible. If you are skinning a droid though remember to put it back to normal again so that the skin will not appear shinny in game.

you have to download it. basically what you do is go to layers->mode->decompose and uncheck "decompose to layers" then select RGBA and press decompose. 4 new windows shud pop up, go to any one of them, and press layers->mode->compose and it shud have 4 boxes that say alpha, green, red, and blue. make sure each matches up. (ie: red to red). now you should get one that looks complete. close everything else, and there is your skin. (some things may be a little off, i recalled most of that from memory. if youre still having trouble just post
)
