Alpha question

i was wondering if i can make alphas from photos in photoshop and then use them in zbrush

if its possible can you tell me how?

Ben

p.s sorry for my lame english

yep, save them out as a psd, bmp, or tiff (not sure on the tiff).
go to the alpha palette, import.

Do i need to make them balck and white or just leave them as they are?

16-bit monochrome PSD are usually the safest.

Can you explain how to do that?? because im not really good in photoshop

Ben

In the “Image” menu, there is a “Mode” command. “Greyscale” should be checked and “16bits/channel” should be checked. When saving, save as Photoshop format (PSD) and it’s often good form to make sure the file type is “.psd”.
