CATWA FACIAL HAIR

[Zigfield]

Is there anyone out there familiar with making beards / goatee's for CATWA heads??   I am making on in Photoshop and it looks great on the sample heads.  But when i create the applier and actually apply...the whole beard is black and non of the textures appear.  I am saving as a PNG file in Photoshop and uploading the texture to SL.  Is there something I am doing wrong/?????

I would suggest saving the file as TGA 24-bit. From the Catwa developer's kit instructions:

ATTENTION:
ALL SKINS MUST BE JPG OR TGA 24 BITS ONLY!
ALPHA PNG AND TGA 32 BITS WILL MAKE ISSUES WITH ALPHA MAKEUPS!

Given that the beard is, technically, a makeup layer I'd try the TGA method.
