Editing bitmaps and sprites its not possible is it ?
when i try to import a sprite I get this message:
"importing the current file is not implemented"

Importing new bitmaps (changing them) works however when I run mm7 the edited files are now white. no textures.

Here's a thread at a small Morrowind modder's forum with some info that might help:

If you can work out how to do this and get the textures to be accepted by the games, we can work together to do a lot of cool things.

Yeah, it's a different program, but it might help some.

And here's a tutorial for Photoshop:

Some of it may be of help.

I cant do

Adobe photoshop
--------------------

Step 2: Add Alpha Channel -In the Layers dialog, click the "channels" tab. Click the "add chanel" icon at the bottom to add an alpha channel. -This alpha channel is your mask. If there is no alpha channel, the game will assume the entire image needs to be drawn. If there is an alpha channel, the game assumes only white areas will be drawn.

Just cant find Add Alpha Channel -In the Layers dialog, click the "channels" tab.


Paintshop pro
--------------------

Step 4. Select 'New Channel' and click "OK" to open the 'New Channel' dialogue box.

I cant find it

Now i am doomed
