Kiwi-Hawk Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Kia ora I just brought Affinity to use making texture mask etc for S2-Engine as the other software dose not make RGB 24bit png with an alpha channel. I have loaded the colour map and made it black and white or grey scale but I'm now stuck trying to copy that image into the alpha channel of the mask image. This image is to be a RGBA png with the grey-scale image in the alpha to form a Splat-map mask to filter terrain textures. I'm not having any luck highlighting the alpha channel of my splat-map to paste the grey-scale image into that channel Thanks in advance for any pointers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 7, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Kiwi-Hawk, Welcome to Affinity Forums To convert the greyscale image/layer to a mask, select it in the Layers panel then go to menu Layer ▸ Rasterise To Mask.

Kiwi-Hawk Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Kia ora Not sure why somebody desided to make this so convoluted and difficult what I did was loaded both images added an adjustment layer to the colour-map and made it black and white copied that trying to paste it into the alpha channel of the image that needs it but no. I did find the channels videos on youtube and tired the last one on texture packing but that did not seem to work either, maybe I take this to that tutorials thread. I did find that till after this posts. I have to sat to I was a tad peeved at buying and having to wait till the next day to ask my question because of moderation. it meant I could not do anything about this for over 24 hours because of the time zone thing. That said I understand the need to moderate. Would/could you please move this post into the Official Affinity Photo (Desktop) Video Tutorials (200+) Where it maybe belongs do you think. James maybe my saving grace, I learn better by watching somebody do it than I do reading a text, such was my schooling days. or should I re-post my question there? "shut up and listen while I tell you whats what" the old pedigogde schooling habit schools had Edited January 7, 2018 by Kiwi-Hawk left out the ending question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
