Hey guys, i need your help one more time...

I'm trying for days to make my magnifying glass icon in exploreframe.dll.

Here is my image :
It contains some half transparent pixels.

I use photoshop, and when i create my alpha channel, i select only the solid parts of my image then i delete this part in the channel.
Here is what i get :
The half transparent pixels are hidden.

So, i did it another way, with the difference tool in Photoshop to set a special grey color for each half transparent pixel, like an opacity value.
Here is what i get :
Half opacity is broken...

I tried so many way to make it, dunno what i did wrong.
Plz don't tell me about using gimp, i simply hate to use it, as i use photoshop for years.

Thank yall !

Have you tried selecting your image, then create your alpha channel, in the alpha channel fill your selection with white, then go back to your layers and create a new layer and put below your image and fill with black and merge them together?

Just upload a png of it here and I will see if I can get it to work.

I don't see why you can't just hit Control + S like you can in other programs.
