Whenever I pull up NN Avirex's fine bare metal templates of the P-39 or P-40, I can see them fine in photoshop 7.0, and I can work on them just fine. But when I save my work using Bright, the resulting bmp skin file is a 1024x1024 pallet of gray jibberish.
I do get an error when opening these templates saying that some fonts are missing, but the template opens fine and I can add layers and paint as usual Using Bright to save bare metal templates by other artists into skins work just fine on my PC, so I am wondering what I am doing wrong with these NN Avirex versions. Any help appreciated.  |

What result do you get if you ignore bright and just save it as an indexed bmp with no dithering ? _________________________________ Some random "stuff" : WTE (Australasian IL2 Squadron): http://www.wte-anga.com/ New Gladiator/J8A layers: http://tiny.cc/J8A_engine and http://tiny.cc/J8Apits Early and pre-war Czech/Slovak skins: http://tiny.cc/J8ASlovakia and http://tiny.cc/CLH PZL.p11c as Aero A102 : http://tiny.cc/A102 3rd Sqdn RAF 37/38: http://tiny.cc/3RAF1937 and http://tinyurl.com/3RAF1938 N5519 Charity 1939: http://tinyurl.com/n5519 |

I can save as an indexed 8-bit bmp, index color, without dithering and without forcing BxW (both selected as NONE). But not within Bright... ? |

I suspect one particular layer is causing the issue. You might need to do some detective work.
Two possible things to try to track down the problem - - rasterize and merge down all the layers to a single layer and put it through bright that way and see what happens - create a temporary file and keep deleting layers one or two at a time and see if deleting one particular layer or set of layers fixes the bright problem _________________________________ Some random "stuff" : WTE (Australasian IL2 Squadron): http://www.wte-anga.com/ New Gladiator/J8A layers: http://tiny.cc/J8A_engine and http://tiny.cc/J8Apits Early and pre-war Czech/Slovak skins: http://tiny.cc/J8ASlovakia and http://tiny.cc/CLH PZL.p11c as Aero A102 : http://tiny.cc/A102 3rd Sqdn RAF 37/38: http://tiny.cc/3RAF1937 and http://tinyurl.com/3RAF1938 N5519 Charity 1939: http://tinyurl.com/n5519 |

I already have had this kind of issue and haven't found a simple way to get it fixed.
Merging layer is VERY dangerous I already have ruined personnal template with this way of processing... I have found another way to create the bmp: once your template is ready to generate the skin, use File---> Save for Web, select JPEG maximum quality and save. Open the JPEG generated and export it with bright plugg-in. Et voilà it's done!   |

Do I have to delete layers, or is it enough to de-select layers? I've already done this, deselecting all layers except the background and the bare metal layer, and Bright still has a problem processing it. If I have to delete layers instead, I will. I will also try Tromplamort's suggestion. |

You should just be able to deselect layers.
