please help with lyered image issue

tiffyhh

Hi, I am new to DAZ and I ran into an issue I can´t seem to solve.. I have bought the Anezka Figure from the DAZ store... I  need to apply a totoo on her back. For that I load the Body map of the figure into GIMP to create a layered image. I then export it into the figur folder renaming it MB_Anezka_Body_DTattoo.jpg

When I open the surfaces map in daz and chose the layered image it does not show on her body. even if I also add it in the translucency map. How can I make the layer visible ? When I do the same with other figures or skin types it works fine. Can somebody please help me ?

Thanks

Layered Images are created in daz Studio, using the Layered Image Editor, they are not a way to import layered image files from another application - which sounds to be what you are doing. Export just the tattoo as an image, and second image as a mask (white for the tattoo, black for bare skin, shades of grey for the transition) then select the Layered Image Editor option  from the image picker menu in Daz Studio, add a layer for the tattoo into which you load the map and a second layer, which you set to mak, into which you load the mask image.
