Stamps with textures applied ?

I’ve made a simple screw stamp alpha in zbrush.
Made a texture in photoshop from the alpha and added it as a texture in zbrush.

Problem is that the texture isn’t strong / low opacity.

The only way I’ve found so far to increase the opacity is with the MidValue in the alpha modify panel but this changes the alphas ’ sweet spot ’

Any tips on using stamps with a good strong texture ?

I can post images if that helps ?

In the alpha palette, section modify, you have some options to change the alpha: intensity, contrast, curves (better if the alpha is 16 bits). Use ctrl to check the function for each one. This should change the intensity of the alpha, apart obviously of the z intensity. Also alphas are best applied with dragnect stroke in general.

Thanks but this is not what I’m after.
I have a texture with my alpha but the texture colour is weak. If I adjust the MidValue in the alpha to its lowest point the
texture colour is strong as is should be. Problem is that I need the MidValue at around 50% for the alpha to work correctly thus making the texture colour weaker.
I will post up some images to show this.
