I've read somewhere that the tga exporter in Photoshop 7 is corrupt and doesn't save the alpha channel properly.

 

Try updating that plugin and see if makes a difference.

The TGA plugin was buggy in PS 7.0 and PS 7.0.1 - alpha channel was not exported.

 

Adobe has fixed this problem over a year ago.

That's probably where I read it. Still, it's worth look if all else fails.

Im not using photo shop 7, im using photo shop elements 2, its like a cheaper photoshop i guess.

 

Maybe ill use png? In the shader, instead of .tga at the end, i would put .png right.. sort of common sense i guess.

You can get the latest version of the targa (TGA) exporter here:

It should work with Photo Elements 2 as well.

 

It shouldn't matter about the extension too much. As long as the file is saved as myimage.png and that is where you point it, then yeah, should be okay
