srry for the triple post but i need a answer to my question tho.. DM maybe u know it?

i have the same problem with dekaron changing my armor colors and it give error ; to many channels to export (5)

save it as a .tga (targa) 32bit with alpha channel instead
re-open the .tga
save THAT as .dds

make sure you flaten the image when you are finished that seems to work good for me as well as make sure you don't have more than one alpha channel. like where you have the channels tab check and make sure you only have one alpha mask. should clear things up swiss's solution works too depending on if what i said makes sense haha

Also save the dds as "Explicit Alpha"

this happens when your bottom layer has transparency inherited from the layer, and not the ALPHA layer itself. Be sure your bottom most layer has no transparency. if you edited your bottom layer or have it set to not see it, you'll get this error. Hope this helps!
