Tga or Bmp

April 16, 2004 1:43 AM from

Can anyone explain the differance and why ones better than the other?
Also I remember reading that while skinning I should always try to tile the image when availible but sometime this make things look funny. Does leaving it streched hinder performance? Thanks for any help once again

I found another thread on the tga's so it kinda answers first question but can anyone explain why when i make a button transparent in psp8 then save as a png then put it into skinstudio it makes a black border? It does convert it to a tga though. Thanks again if anyone can help

The black border sounds like you're not turning on the translucency setting.

BMP is just a normal graphic, better quality then .jpg.

TGA is a graphic that is transparant, nice to use if you want it anti aliased
