MetsReyes777 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm doing a Padres overlay, and when I make an alpha it needs to be 8-bit, and i can only go as low as 16. I'm certainly not pro at alpha, so here are the four images i need alphas for. The first one must be 0000-a.bmp, then 0001-a.bmp etc. and they must be 8-bit alphas, not 16 or 24. Somebody please help! Please, its very simple but I'm an idiot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 what are you using that you can't make it 8bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsox Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am guessing he didn't choose "grayscale" as his image mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsReyes777 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 what are you using that you can't make it 8bit? I have Photoshop CS2, so I'm not sure why it won't do it. Thanks Piston, I really appreciate it. I'm doing a Padres season, and I'm just making it a little better by customizing the ESPN Overlay- all props to Trues for making such a sick overlay. Here are some pictures of what I've done. The Main Scoreboard- The Infobar on the bottom- Baserunner Information- Lineups- Thanks again for all your help guys. And yeah, I made the blue squares white so it becomes an alpha, but I can't save it as an 8-bit. So that's where I'm stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsReyes777 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 By the way, I've looked at portrait tutorials and thats how I made the alpha, but once again it's the 8-bit part thats owning me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What mode is your image set to? It must be in grayscale for you to create an alpha image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsReyes777 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hey guys, thanks for your help but I figured it out I saw redsox say I have to have it in grayscale, and it worked- here are some screens-tell me what you think! I'll eventually take team requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
