Hi, BjornThanks for your reply.Regards,Val

Hi to all...I recently made some phototiles for my future scenery... and I'm having problems with the alpha layer...I made an alpha layer for my photoscenery from photoshop, but it still failed to mask the unneeded water portion of the phototiles...I got confused because I followed every step and tip I got from my peers... and it still failed...I'm now thinking there's more to this than just black (water) & white (land)...I do remember however, that when I did the scenery generation, I used the merge alpha textures command... I havent tried re-making it without using that command... I'll try it later...hoping to get a solution... thanks much!

Hi again... I finally solved my problem... thanks for looking again!
