Thank You for offering to help, I sent you a PM, and have been working on it again today .... I get confused at what to do after I apply the mask and make my alpha .... I think... LOL I've actually gotten it saved as a .dds file, and uploaded into my game via Sims Workshop program .... but it show's up as white with gray dots .... |

WOW ... I've been at this all day long ... LOL, and here's my result  I actually seperated the RGB channels on the polkadot pattern as well as the black image .... and on each channel, I selected, with my magic wand, and copied and pasted the Red, to the Red, Green, to the Green, and Blue to the Blue .... converted to .dds and wallllahhhh!!!! ( at least I think that's what I did....) LOL now...if I can just figure out how to post a pic of the ingame blouse, and how to upload the package file, I'll be happy to share !!!! Now, if I can just repeat this process successfully, I'll be good to go ... LOL! OK ... photo of blouse in game  I only know how to share files via RapidShare .... so here is the link to download the pattern if you like .... www.4shared.com/file/115874937/3685afaf/PinkPolkaDotsDD1.htmlSo ... there you have it .... a full day's work, and I'm pooped! LOL |

Thanks so much for posting the tutorial! I am going to sticky it and if you don't mind I will move it to the library Cindy that looks perfect! I can't believe it took you all day, now that scares the heck out of me but hopefully it gets easier with practice  both for sharing! |

I'm working on this in my sleep you guy's ...... LOL, I keep going over it in my mind, and I'm gonna work on it again today ....the original image has more polkadots, so I'm going to redo this and flood fill with the pattern resized at 50% ..... we'll see how it looks .... hopefully I'll get a more accurate reproduction of the original image Plus fine tuning this whole process in my own mind .... pratice makes perfect (so they say) ;D |
