      @stuart2773: It doesn't work because that png has no transparency at all. ;)

      I'm not sure what went wrong, but maybe you want to check out my psd file of the Space Invaders overlay: invaders.psd

      It consists of two layers: The bezel at 100% opacity and the background at 35%.

          boothill: No opacity set for the background layer. The default Photoshop background layer (the one with the little lock icon) should not be activated.

          dotron: Same as boothill.

          frogs: The four background layers should be grouped into a folder. This new folder should be set to 35% (or whatever you prefer) opacity.

          invaders: No opacity set for the background layer.

          invadpt2: The default Photoshop background layer should not be activated.

          triplhnt: This one is a bit messed up. ;) You don't have the foreground and background properly separated. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix aside from starting from scratch. This is how it might look: www.atarimuseum.com/orubin/Witch-Hunt.jpg

          Here are the corrected files: bezels_fixed.zip

          I hope this helps. I really appreciate your work! :)

            This is awesome! I hope this all works as hoped because those 3d'ish bezel look fantastic!

              thanks for those, i understand how its working now, but for some strange reason even with the fixed versions you provided im unable to get any of the transparency to work, its driving me crazy, i keep getting the same files everytime. my photoshop must be f***ed up

              i even created a new bezel from scratch using your method and i get exacly the same non working bezel with no transparency :@ agghhhhhhhhhhh

              i dont have any problem whatsoever with the transparency with normal bezels i created, just these "projected ones"

                That's odd. How do you save your png files within Photoshop?

                FYI
                I've managed to recreate the Triple Hunt / Witch Hunt overlay. :)

                  Do you flatten the image before saving the image ? That destroys transparency.
                  Usually I use "merge visible" layers before saving to PNG and it keeps transparencies.

                    yeah ive been flattening them rather than merging, i will have another attempt at them

                    @JesseBlue love what you did with the Triple Hunt :P

                                    These 3D bezels may be the sexiest things I ever saw (ps. don't tell my wife).

                                    BTW...how do you take a schreenshot in RA that includes the bezel? When I try via RGUI, I get only the gameplay.
