How to alpha the weapons out using photoshop?

[matt75]

I kept on experimenting tools on photoshop but still can't find the tool to alpha the weapons out.

One more thing...some uses cut/copy and paste method in skinning. How did they do that using photoshop? I mean the tool. I tried crop tool but it included something.

Help me please!

I had problems with this one to, but I expiremented and found out how to! It's supposed to lasso what you want out and hit delete. Supposedly, all forms of deleting work, BUT! That doesn't work!!!!
The directions are!: Click the "Channels" tab. (beside the layer list)
Lasso what you wanna alpha edit out. (marquee works as well) then you have to click n the "Alpha 1" layer.
Now, with your stuff lassoed, set the Color % to "0%"
(Should be Black)
And paint over the stuff that you want to alpha over.
Your probably asking what the white does :?:
That Alphas out team color. Put that over the spots that are black & white\gray. (the spots that were already in the alpha 1 layer) That removes TEAM COLOR.
So thats how to do it with PhotoShop.

Forgot to answer your other question.
To copy\paste, you must open up MULTIPLE files, lasso what you want to copy, and hit Ctrl + C. After you do that, you have to select where you want to put it on your other file. This DOES NOT require a circle\box\ETC. of the exact same size. After you have got it where you want it, hit Ctrl + V. Thats simple.
