I have the error "too many channels to export"...

The DDS exporter for Photoshop doesn't like layers and transparency besides a single alpha channel. Flatten your image, make sure there is only one alpha channel and it should work.

Just thought that I'd flag up that the DDS plugin doesn't work for Photoshop CS4. I had to go back to using CS3.

I figured that this thread was the most appropriate one to ask my question. I love making buttons; it's fun and one of the best parts about modding, I think. I am having a problem with the results though. I get artifacts and patches of colour bleeding. It seems that any part of a picture that is only one colour will have bleeding affects in square shapes most noticeable on the border with another colour.

I got some advice on a thread where I posted some custom unit textures and was told to work in a larger image size first and scale down at the end. That's what I do. I was also told about the 5.6.5 or the 1.5.5.5 settings. Do they make a difference or should I stick with the explicit alpha setting? Any thoughts or advice? Thanks.

Haha, I've started working on my old Fractured States mod and I'm working on some buttons and the one I made came out all blurry & small so I decided to search the forum to see if anyone wrote a guide about how to fix it. I was surprised to learn that I wrote a guide, hahah. Thanks past me!
