Did you turn the alpha channel completely black? That might be the cause for it. The alpha channel in the original file isn't completely black, more like very dark grey.

Yes, in Photoshop, it's all black, but I'm not sure about the saving, there's so many options in the Nvidia plugin.

I just installed the plugin, and then I opened the file, like any other image.

I tried that but it won't open the file. Says something about wrong document.

It would look kinda odd having my right hand pinned up as a poster in my boat.

Ragtag, if you have the choice of x64 ps, the dds nvid plugin won't work, you have to use the x86 version for dds to work

(sooner they phase out x86 sw the better i reckon, x64 been here yrs and still takes a back seat to x86) (my 2c worth anyways)

there's also a way to force Photoshop CS4 to open everything with the 32 bit version vice the 64bit version. Google it, it requires a registry edit though. It was simple to do.

I use the DXT3 (or is it DXT5, cant remember now) with explicit alpha setting, seems to work just fine.

Also, good thing to note is to open the files with mip maps and count how many mip maps there is, then when saving pick 'generate new mip maps' and input the amount from the original. Don't know if this has much effect on this pinup thing, but explosions etc. use these.
