Working with Templates

The graphic Program you use to work with templates will have to offer a working environment with layers. In some programs, these 'layers' are called differently. But they all have the same function: To let you work on each layer separately, so that at the end, you can convert all your work in just one layer.

It's also necessary for you to be familiar about file types. Not only the proprietary file type which is the output of your program, but those file types that you can upload into SL and their features. For example, if you work with Photoshop, your output file will be a *.psd file, or a file with a *.psd extension format.
Therefore, you will have to convert your output files. This is what you usually do when you “Save As” [another file type]

You can upload these types of images into SL



As you see, only two of these types store alpha channels, *.tga and *.png. So those are the final images you need to upload into SL.
