Hi, i’ve tried to make some custom avatars, but i’m pretty inexperienced with dds files, and i don’t know how to let them keep the transparency…
My avatars appears with the black canvas and so they look bad 
I use the nvdia plugin for photoshop which creates great dds files. They need a separate alpha channel (not a layer, a channel). If your using paint shop pro, I belive the dds plugin for that program has some bugs.
thanks for answering 
i’ve been using the same plugin, and i will try to create the channel… i will keep you updated
