importing custom fade filters

[Toothy]

I'm trying to get a picture to show up in-game on the screen. I've been told a fade filter would do the trick, and I used the link below step-by-step to get it working, but it won't work. The files are fine, they're not corrupted, and I'm converting .tga to .blp. I notice that on that site he says he's working with 1.17, would that make a difference? Is there another step involved with custom .blp filters in 1.18? Help please.

This is the #1 reason fade filters don't work.

"NOTE: When you save your image, you must have all of the image selected inside the editing program. Select all, then save it that way. Anything not selected will not appear when using the fade filter."

Thanks for pointing that out; I hadn't thought it was important. Interestingly enough, selecting all in Photoshop doesn't yield the same results as in PhotoImpact, which I downloaded out of curiousity. It worked the first time with PI. Photoshop apparently doesn't support that attached information on the .tga file. Oh well.

Photoshop adresses it as 'Alpha Channels' (which they really are)

But PhotoImpact addresses it as 'Selection Area'.
