Right-click the bmp photo in File Explorer, Edit with Photos. Step 3: Save A Copy with Photos on Windows 10


Make sure to select 32 bits ‘A8 R8 G8 B8’.ĭoes not matter if Compatibility Options is selected or not, the program will still not accept any bmp file produced by GIMP. Select ‘Export As’, change the extension to ‘.bmp’. This should give a layer mask as seen above, and now the background appears cleared, although it is still there. Select the background and Add Layer Mask. I am not sure how to keep the background, so I removed it, it will appear as black background in the game when there is no transprency required. Alternatively, to keep the background for the game to use in some situations, don’t delete the background. I’ve already cleared the background and replaced it with a blue colour for easy selection. This is the original photo opened in GIMP. Tools: GIMP, Photos on Windows 10 or any other application that opens bmp file Step 1: Select the Background and Add Layer Mask To work around this, open the bmp file with another application and Make A Copy. Tl:dr: The FaceTool provided to add the portraits cannot open bmp files exported through GIMP. I’ll include screenshots as well, and a sample bmp I made of Hanako-kun! Because it took me a few hours to do it, even after scouring the internet for clues. So technically this is not an anime game, but I thought it would be helpful to anyone looking for how to create custom portraits with transparency.
