I experimented and found ‘another’ way for the faces to show up normal in SL as well :-) If you save the skins as a .png file that is “interlaced” then your problems are solved. And it sounds like a lot less work than messing with the Alpha channels :-) Thank you for your generosity Michelle and Vint :-)

Happy SL to you all ~ DD

I had this problem as well with the white eye lashes and the missing eyebrows. I found that it was the Alpha Channel. If you don’t say your file with the Alpha Channel selected in a format that allows transparency your eye lashes with will show up white, but if you do save the transparency then your eyebrows are invisible. Did not matter if I had eyebrows selected or not in the layers. I had to go in to the Alpha Channel and remove the area where the eyebrow transparency was so the only thing left transparent was the upper right corner (which is where the eyelash texture is mapped) After saving again with the Alpha Channel selected as a 32bit .TGA I had eyebrows finally and normal looking eyelashes.

How that helps.

Save File As a .bmp –> Click “Save” –> select 32-Bit –> press the “Advanced Modes” button –> select the 32-Bit option “A8 R8 G8 B8″ –> then click “Ok” (then upload to SL and voila!)

It works! No missing skin above the eyes! If you have Adobe Elements this will work. As for the full version of PS … I wouldn’t know.

I have Photoshop Elements 6.0 and have saved a couple of the Eliot skins as 32 bit .tga format after reading the post about “white eyelashes” (Thank you again btw). The only glitch I run into is that the eyebrows don’t show up on the face texture in SL. When I save it and re-open it in PS they are there. When I upload to SL … they’re gone. Please help :-)
