Images Darkening after initial Imp

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 by RobJK | Discussion: Skinning

 Hey peeps! Its me again with another skinning question.

In certain section during my skin makeing process, images that i previously imported become darker. This happens mostly with the Buttons, Start menu, and explorer backgrounds. I only have to reimport the image.....but this takes up time. It useually happens more than once? I mean i will see that the image is darker, i will reimport, and then keep working on the skin........then like an hour later or so it will have happend again? I then will have to go back and reimport? Any help with this?

I dont know if this is normal? I would think that i happens to everyone but...? It happens allot? Is there ay way to stop it from happening, such as changing settings?

What version of SkinStudio are you using and what type of file are you importing?

If it is a TGA then if you tell SKS to automatically reimport it on change than it may get darker and darker over time.  SKS 6.3 fixes this.
