Re: iPhone Icons

I was hoping that someone could give me some guidance please on using the .psd templates for creating my own icons for Torx iPhone skin?

As an example of what I have done: I am using Gimp but am somewhat a novice user. I have loaded the icon for eWallet as one layer and overlaid the blank_template.psd file on top. This looks nearly correct and I get the lovely shading of the template over the top of the original icon but does not quite mask out the Torx button shape as the template would suggest. Instead each corner still has some grey pixels.

I save the image as a .png file then convert it to a .tga with AlphaConv.exe.

Loading the .tga file into WAD works fine but I still see the grey pixels in the corners so it is not a "clean" icon image. So near yet so far...

Does anyone has ideas of what else I need to do?
