Help with Photoshop

Pedrunn · April 27, 2002, 08:55

I just got the Photoshop 6.0 for my art work for CTP2.
But i cant get the targas to work properly in the game.
Everything is ok until i start a game. For some reason everything gets fuzzy.
What am i doing wrong?
The problem is me or my Photoshop?

Here is a sample of what should be the ctp1 coporate branch in the Great Library. This isnt even my work i just open an existent work from the CivCTP Units found in Aolytons Database and saved inside the pictures folder.

Make sure you are saving the images as RGB, 16-bit, 72dpi, Targa files. My initial guess is that the files were saved as 24-bit

To make sure you save graphics in the right format, take an existing graphic and copy it with a new name. Then open the copy, edit it however you like and when you're done, 'Save' (as opposed to 'Save As...' or any other kind of save). This makes sure the graphic format doesn't change.

It is RGB, 72 pixels/inch and targa.

Where do i change the bits? I see in the Image -> Mode
to choose between 8 or 16 bits/channel. But once 16 is chose i cant no longer change as targa

all you have to do is open the file you want and go to File\SaveAs and where it says format change it to Targa. Aftter you press Save you get a screen that says Targa Options and it lets you pick from 16, 24, and 32 bits. As Hexagonian said pick the button that says "16 bit"

You guys were right. I was saving it as 24 bits. Now i am right on the track.
Thank you very much
