hello people,

hope someone out there might be good enough to help. I'm trying to get my head around making a texture in Photoshop using a uv map. Whenever I take the uv snapshot, save it as a targa file and open it in Photoshop the background is always clear. In Maya help it states that the background is always black (i've noticed this on all tutorials i've looked at too). The Questions I have are...

Does it make any difference what colour the background is?(apart from making viewing easier).

and

How can I make the background black?

Thanks for your help,
Mat.
