I've watched the skinning tutorial video all the way through 6 times. I referred to it whilst attempting my very basic first attempt...and my second even simpler one layer one thing attempt.

I'm using GIMP 2.8 and DXTBmp 4.00.96

I saved the file as Test.xcf. It looked fine, like I want it to in GIMP. I exported that file as Test.bmp to the Desktop. When I returned to DXTBmp and opened Test.bmp the image has a blue wash.

On my Desktop the Test.bmp icon looks okay I can even see my skinning mod. I can right click on it and select Preview...it looks as desired. But when viewing the Test.bmp with ACDsee, I only get a big black square.

So I think I'm incorrectly exporting the file. But I can't figure out where to begin.

Any ideas?

I think I figured it out.

In GIMP 2.8 when you "Export As..." and select the .bmp format, you're presented with Pop Up. One of the items is "Advanced Options." The default options is saving in 32 Bits A8 R8 G8 B8. Selecting 24 Bits R8 G8 B8 solved the problem.

HTH guys like myself sticking their big toe into the water so to speak.

As the saying goes..."Cancel the emergency."

Yeah, I had that issue too.
Hope I remember this correctly...had to do with right clicking something that opened up "save as"...
.. don't save as an "alpha" but as 24 bit
