I think so - but can't test my work as I've promised my wife that I won't play the game until the 25th as it's a present! I've had to fill the gap by creating the graphics for the Dickermax, SdKfz 165/1, sIG33 Hetzer, Sturmpanther & Coelian and planning a new scenario.

Here's how I think it's done.

1. Create your new 'normal / grey/white' image from a game tga file.
2. Delete the existing alpha (Image - Delete Alpha Channel)
3. Select the picture with the magic wand.
4. Save as alpha channel (Selections - Load/Save Selection - Save Selection to Alpha Channel)
5. Save file

I have to stress that I might be talking rubbish: see how it goes.

Hi Red Lancer, I was wondering if you were also thinking about doing the Panther "F" and the Kugelblitz? If you do, I will be first to download! [:D]

Check out this website, it might have stuff you will find interesting.

The Panther F files - I hope they are OK - a quick attempt at the end of a day of festivities.
