Saving as a PNG typically works for me too, and is a great idea if you intend to offer your filtercam filters for download on Flickr via the FilterCam group, but I noticed that with some PNGs, especially darker ones, there’s still a white halo around some of the transparency edges. That’s the only problem I’ve noticed when using PNGs over TGAs.

LOL, thanks for the traffic to my photos, I guess. ;)

I started making my own filter textures last week. I used 3200×1800 pixels (16:9) since I have a widescreen display. I like working with a large image and then shrinking as required. (I did squish it to 1024×1024 with photoshop before uploading.)

I wonder, is there an advantage to creating the alpha mask and saving as a TGA? I skipped that and saved as PNG, which seems to work fine. Or maybe I’m missing something?

Cool tutorial! Some comments –

.png uploads are now available, so you don’t have to use TGA 32 anymore.

For extra OCDness – You might want to resize in photoshop (which lets you choose between a number of resizing features) instead of let SL default resize it for you.
