alpha's in zbrush 3.5

hi, i have download some alpha’s from the pixologic website, but… when i try to load them by using the light box, zbrush is putting them in the texture field.

how to load it inside the alpha ?

Click the Alpha tab on the left, then choose Import.

thank you… thats working. but why i cant select it in my lightbox?
in my lightbox i can see emediatly the tumbnails.
and if i have to import every alpha im waisting alot of time

When you load Lightbox, there’s some options above the icons. Be sure to select Alpha. Then import your alphas. It works perfectly to me.

yeah i know, i selected alphas but to me almost… (not every alpha) loads as a texture instead of a alpha

but… it seems to me that im the only one who have this problem… soo… i wil use import instead

I believe it’s because your alphas are in RGB mode. Try to convert some of them to grayscale on Photoshop and see if it works.

But even if they just load as textures, you can press the button “Make alpha”, on the texture pallete. It’s easier than import your alphas manually.
