.tga screenshots are black in photoshop

I just use file/open to get them in to photoshop. The other tgas (custom/historic battle menu images) open fine, so it seems that my PSP 8 can handle tgas ok. This is however the first time i have really used photoshop so i could be doing something pretty basic wrong.......

PRT SCRN
ALT + ESC to leave the game
Open Photoshop
CTRL+V

superb, that did the trick. Working fine now. Thankyou.

Another advice:

Go into options and change the screenshot button to F6, then turn off anti-aliasing.

Then you`ll find all your screenshots in the tga folder and you don`t have too leave the game for each screenshot you take

And more:

Use the "-ne" switch and have both the game and Photoshop open at the same time ;)

real added value here!

Ive just tried this and all the screenshots in the tga folder are black when i try to open them from photoshop later.......like before.

Use the "-ne" switch and have both the game and Photoshop open at the same time

That really saves time. No more little red loading bar. Woo hoo!

I was a bit surprised it worked as i was already using the -enable_editor switch. Cheers mate.

I think you can have as many command switches on at once as you like. I personally use -ne -nm -show_err with separate shortcuts for -enable_editor, -sprite_script and -mod:my_mod
