Alpha and planet textures

[Timmy51m]

Okay, so you extract the textures from a planet.txm, whip them into photoshop and paint a huge feaking smiley face on them, when you want to save them, which type of alpha should you use?
1 bit alpha, explicit, or interpolated?

i usually save only tga textures with indicated colors. they are only slightly larger than dds’ and work for cmp/mat formats. dunno however, whether a sph would read out such a texture, too.

Has been a while ago, but IIRC it is the explicit alpha.
