Gday all,

I am currently making a skin for a boat, for a game called virtual skipper. Anyway I am doing this in PS Elements 7.0. I need to add alpha layers/channels to make the sails slightly transparent, or not transparent. I can't seem to find anything that tells you how to do this in Elements. So I assume it is not possible, or no one has done it before. So if anyone can help me with this, please do. I have made an adjustment layer and added white 80% transparent, over the sail layers. But when I save this as .DDS will the white adjustment layer dissapear like an alpha layer and leave semi-transparent sails or will it come out as it looks?

While I'm here I can't save as .dds, either says unsupported input format or the NVidia box with the 'save' button, has a grey unclickable save button.

All help will be appreciated much.

Thanks all.

Ok... just quick ideas... what if you make the sail a diff. layer and just change the layer opacity? I dunno what exactly you're wanting though.
