Hey I'm having issues with textures on my track, Some of them are really white and others work but look a bit grey, any ideas on what the problem could be.
here's some links to a screen shots of the problem.

Any Help would be great.
thanks Jack.

you have indexed mode selected for the mask map so the textures are not blending. in photoshop under image- mode, select rgb and 8 bit.

The grey looks like it's just the texture you're using for that particular channel.

@al167 Ok thanks for that any idea how to do that in gimp?
@Jamie T the texture I'm using on that channel is the brown moto448 grass however every texture except for grassland mud and grassland grass have this issue.
I Have also noticed that when i change the color of the spherical reflection map it disperse's but then my rider turns dark and has no reflections.

Okay I now know for sure that is something to do with the way I'm creating the rgb mask. because i tried the sample masks in the editor and they all work fine.

once changed you will have to start again using a soft brush. try using layers and opacity to get the desired effect.

okay thanks for that i'll see how it goes.

okay i seem to still be having the issue but i have just noticed that my alpha channel is still set to white but i don't know how to change it as it wont let me edit it any ideas on how to do this. I have started a new image and selected rgb and used layers.
Thanks

all good got it working good enough i had to make some layer masks in gimp to change my alpha channel to black. Thanks for the help
