albedo+Transparency map question...

Yonderboy

Hi, I've exported an albedoTransparency map out of substance painter, and am slightly befuddled as to why i can't see the albedo within photoshop (only the alpha channel) but when i view it from within Unity i see the albedo channel loud and clear!

Is there some secret channel within photoshop that I don't know of?!

thanks for your help!

Did you look in the Channels palette?

Also, I moved this from Technical Talk into the Allegorithmic Substance section, since your post is about SP.

thanks - yeah, looked in the channels - nothing there. curiouser and curiouser!

Alpha should be in the channels palette, at the bottom.

Did you look in the Layers palette for the Albedo?

What texture format did you use? PNG with transparency loads into Photoshop as a Layer with transparency baked into it. No alpha channel. You can recover both using the Layer menu, Layer Mask, From Transparency.
