Everything you need to know, including a large number of helpful links, can be found here. Although that being a DC page, it may get deleted soon. Meh, I can't be bothered to copy/paste it all here. Just don't hang around, ok? Make sure you get it done.

ok i have also downloaded the program gimp. if anyone can give me a tutorial or something because i dont really do this stuff. so if anyone can give me exact instructions on how to take this band image i have and make it into a badge/banner. i'd prefer to use gimp but i also have paint.net so w/e someone could give me instructions for would be great.

Are you saving it as a .tga file or as a regular .jpg or whatever? It'll only display .tga files.

.tga file. when i use paint.net i save it with the size 64x64. well it saves a lil smaller then that to make it to scale. then i save it as a .tga file and put it in the badge section of my ss file but it doesn't show up in the army painter to chose.

I've had issues with badges and banners, the right size and .tga files, not showing up in my army painter list. I've never been able to figure out why, though, try making another few of them (whatever, just plain red or something) and see if any of them show up. With mine it seemed quite random.

k i'll give it a try a lil later but is there anything else i should be doing to the image. im trying to take a band symbol and make it into a badge/banner. do i just have to change the size of the pixels and make sure it saves as a .tga file. or is there something else to it?

So long as it's a .tga image of the right pixel size, it should work.

ok i got it. its showing up in the army painter now. i dunno why it wouldn't before. i think it might of been because it wasn't exactly 64x64 might of been the problem but either way its working now. thx for the help
