Need help with some reskin/patching stuff

[UnionPacificFan1005]

I'm trying to patch a locomotive for a friend in T:ANE. I'm having some issues though. When I finish, if I set alpha transform in paint.net to both sliders all the way to the left, I get the first image. If I set the bottom slider all the way to the right and the top one all the way to the left I get the second image. And if I have both sliders all the way to the right, I get an error saying that the textures are a uniform color for all of the maps I have edited. Can someone help me with this?

You may be better off in using PevSoft, Images2TGA http://trainz.shaneturner.co.uk/tutorials/index.php/home/utilities/pevsoft-trainz-tools/images2tga
to edit the primary and alpha image one at a time, a bit convoluted but this program will also fix the uniform colour prob as well. Use it in conjunction with Paint.net .
Down load the Texture Text program as well, in fact download the lot from this site.

Cheers, evilcrow

Sorry, I figured it out. I had to bring the opacity of the image way down.
