• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

GIMP Tiffs Help needed

Hi Folk

I am just wondering if any one has successfully exported a Tiff from GIMP with land-watermask channel and Blend mask channel as well as the background photo.
I am able to export to PSD with all channels in tact but if I export to Tif it loses the last channel which is the blend mask.

Other than that does anyone know of a PSD to Tiff converter other than photoshop that will preserve all the channels

I only have a 30 day trial version of Photoshop and it is way of the budget for me to purchase so I am looking for tools that can save the rgb and the 2 alpha channels.
Any help appreciated ,as I really like working with the Geotiff format with the channel infomation preserved.

Thanks
Greg
 
Hi Greg,

I still have to test that in the GIMP, but that is certainly something I still want to do. I'll let you know once I got some results.

Thanks Arno,

It sure would be great to use Gimp. I know Photoshop is to expensive for me though I like it, Gimp is Free quite powerful and reads a photoshop tif with all its channels but when exporting from gimp only puts out one alpha channel ie the land water mask and not the additional blend mask
I'll still work on it though and check around some gimp forums

Thanks
Greg
