I still dunno why Adobe devs haven't opted for auto-alpha-masking.

Thanks for the tip!
Will give it a shot and see how I go with it

Sweet! Worked like a charm

You drag your file directly onto the exe/program and as long as it meets the proper graphical dimensions it will convert it. |
I still don't get the huge differences between PNG, BLP and TGA in WoW
Would there be any noticeable differences?
