I want my smiley face smack-dab in the middle but you can choose to place your stencil anywhere you want. And, I don't know why this picture turned grey-scaled When dealing with TS3 files, everything revolves around the four color channels: red, blue, green and alpha.
Red, blue and green are created automatically but the Alpha channel is the one we may have to create manually. There are many ways to create the Alpha channel so if you know an easier route than the one that I'm using, feel free to do it your way. Do not follow the 9 steps below as that is for photoshop users only who have to manually create an alpha channel, GIMP automatically creates it for you. Instead follow these three steps:. Step 1: Hide the layer that shows the DDs file.
What you will be left seeing is your stencil on a checkered background. Step 2: Right click on your stencil layer and click merge visible layers, a box will pop up. Leave it checked on 'Expand as necessary' and click merge.
Step 3: Right click on the DDS file layer and delete it. You should now be left with one layer which looks like a checkered background with your stencil on it. Now move down to part 5. Once you have followed these steps move down to Part V.
The following is extra information but not steps you need to take. The exception to this is that if a layer is named "Background" GIMP is telling you that it has no alpha-channel information and it will remain flattened no alpha channel, which means you can't cut parts out of it--only paint over them.
You can toggle the visibility of the first three and then select the alpha channel to change it directly without affecting the other channels. Merge any extra visible layers--be sure that the background and shirt texture layers are hidden! If you don't have any extra layers, that's okay, just skip this step. Note: Make sure you don't accidentally move the stencil image, It's placement is still very important!
When done click Okay. Click on the Channels tab. Create a new channel it should automatically be called Alpha 1. The image should turn completely black. Next paste the whitened image we just copied anywhere in the black. You can clearly see that the Alpha channel is misaligned. So, with the Alpha channel selected, move it around so that it's aligned with the blue channel.
Using the arrow keys can help you be more exact. Tip from Mac: In photoshop, and most likely any other editing program with layers, use the paintbrush tool to make a dot any color, your going to delete as soon as you transfer the layer touching and covering two oppisite corner pixels of the image, ie.. Your image will then line up exactly. Then continue with changing the alpha layer to all white. Turn on all color channels to verify that everything is aligned correctly.
If you don't have Photoshop you can use something such as paint. Then select you project. You will see 2 maybe more if it's a complicated outfit Files. The plain black and white one decides the shape of the outfit. Covering the white up with black will make there be no texture there, but it only really works on the bits where the clothes are flat with the body of the Sim for example the stomach.
You could put a black bit on the stomach, and then in the game the Sim's stomach would show through. You can't use it to make a dress shorter, for this would involve editing the actual mesh and that is very advanced. This black and white bit is called the "alpha". The other one is the color for your out fit so open it up and go wild! Then select the categories you want your outfit to be in i. Everyday, Formal, Swimwear, etc. Then call it what you want. When you are finished, click on the folder to import your outfit into the game.
Then you will be able to use it just like any other outfit. And you're done! Yes No. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 3. What can I do? There are many possibilities to edit the clothes, such as using online photo editors. An example is pixlr. You can also use many other photo editing tools. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 2. There should be two different folders, one is an empty folder, your game should be in the other.
If this doesn't work, right click on your shortcut on the desktop and click "Open file location. If you don't have a Mac, you should have Paint with no installments required. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 3. Elizabeth Johnson.
