Want to zip it up and email it to me? jwhelan0112 gmail.com. Generally speaking if you are having problems with .tga files it is to do with the compression options. Trainz can only use uncompressed .tga files.

Look at the file size of the original and of the modified .tga file they should be the same size.

Ok you both very much. How would I go about making the tga file uncompressed?

I don't have Photoshop but in PaintShopPro, when I click on Save As I click the Options box where I can pick bit depth and compression or not.
