clothing recolor problem

[youngagain]

I have been trying to recolor some of the clothes in my Sims 2 bin and I am running into a problem when I try to reclore anything black. I start out in body shop and then use Photo Shop to recolor. I can use other colors just fine but when I use black and then save the file and go back to BS to check it out the outfits are transparent! I have the transparent setting to 0 so I don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Tammie

You're absolutely sure you're using the texture file and not the alpha? If you color the alpha black, then the outfit will end up transparent...

Thank you! That is my problem, I have been doing the alpha file instead of the texture file. I am so new to this but trying real hard to learn.
