Transparency preset help.

[wolflinklove]

Alright. So making my first preset that's transparent  . I'm using Gimp and I could use a bit of help on the coding since I'm new to this whole preset transparency thing. I've got everything the same in the notes but I have no clue what to type in since I go to the preset maker and nothing shows on the right side of the preset. Anyone know what I should type in?

make sure the end of the preset codes end in png, and so are the images for the preset

I've tried saving as a .png but a GIMP message always pops up so I can't save it. Normally it says I have to format something.

If you're using the latest version of GIMP, try going File>> Export and then when you are naming the file, add .png at the end.

Example:

preset_3body.png

And then press Export.

Also if you get a message afterwards that asks you to export it as a flattened image (or something), make sure you press the Export button and then Load Defaults if another box appears after that

Thanks Ingredient. I'll try doing so. I'll post back if it didn't let me or didn't work.

No worries, jaywolf. Let me know how it goes and we'll see if we can fix up this preset problem

Alright. I did what you said and I go into the preset maker and the left half is white. I'm not understanding why it's doing this.

Alright, I say we start all over. Have you tried looking at this tutorial?

I say you should use preset_8 for now as it matches up with the code.

Alright. I'll try getting Preset_8 un-exported now. But I shall try all I can. Thanks for the help guys!

No worries, jaywolf. I assume you're using preset_8 right? If you still need a little bit of help I can try show you how to work with the code and images.

Good luck with your preset
