Folks,
I'm a self taught GIMP user, please be gentle!
I'm painting car templates for a racing simulator called iRacing. iRacing has Spec Maps which add Chrome and Roughness to the image.
The template contains layers for RG and B Channels. They are setup to work in Photoshop which can handle layers in Greyscale. These layers work in such a way that they merge to make a combination, which doesn't work in GIMPS RGB only way.
However, there is a work around which is to copy the image, make it's mode Greyscale and then Compose the R,G and B channels, adjusting the greyscale to your liking. We export the file into the program as a TGA.
The Problem is this: If I make a fresh project this process seems to work fine. However my old projects don't always work, when composing I only see a "Mask Layer" option. Why is it not seeing the other layers that exist in the XCF file?
Kind Regards,
Rowdy.
