Transparent color swap?
« on: January 05, 2008, 02:47:24 am »
it would be nice to be able to chose what color is transparent, white or black.

i have downloaded trans maps used in other programs that use white as transparent, so i have to invert the colors in photoshop. its not that big of a deal, but it would be nice.  ;)

i think you can just set it so the value of transparencies with trans maps is -100 to invert the colours. not sure though

I think -100 value doesn't work... Why can't you just invert the images in photoshop or any program??

i alredy invert them in photoshop, and that works fine, but its just a little thing, it just takes more time to open photoshop and edit it, then just to check an invert box you know? its just an idea.
