HC1Gunner Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I'm working on game texture files, most editing. When I open a transparent DDS file (usually a logo), and change the color or the the text, replace the text, or just change the color of the single texture in the file, I save it. Problem is Paint.net is not saving as the original file parameters, the before transparent area will show up as white or black background, when there should be "nothing" there in that area. Pay no attention to the file being saved, attached picture is showing the "only" save options I have. Saving as opaque/1-bit Alpha is not working. I believe they need to be saved as When alpha transparent mode, when opaque is probably the opposite of what I want. Does the 2nd or 3rd alpha option save as transparent, or does Paint.net not support what I want to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Does this plugin give you any other options?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Quote IMPORTANT: When encoding an RGBA image into a format using 1-bit alpha, any texels with an alpha component less than 0.5 end up with an alpha of 0.0 and any texels with an alpha component greater than or equal to 0.5 end up with an alpha of 1.0. When encoding an RGBA image into the COMPRESSED_RGBA_S3TC_DXT1_EXT format, the resulting red, green, and blue components of any texels with a final alpha of 0.0 will automatically be zero (black). Can you confirm what the color picker shows (RGBA) when you click on the transparent areas in the image?

HC1Gunner Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 It started out with (3) lines that were white, I changed them to the light blue. And the background is deceiving me as it shows its transparent, but is showing up in-game as black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
