Interesting effect

Hi Chaps 
Decided to paint something without a prop on the roof this evening. Saving the psd as a bmp automatically defaulted to 24-bit so I suspected some tomfoolery when I saved all the maps to 32-bit..
A full chrome paint without even trying!
This is what it should have looked like..
Looks a bit different doesn't it though a lot less interesting it has to be said. I've thought some of the helo paints I've done recently have been boring but I think this one beats them all. In case you weren't sure what it will be.. it's G-GMPB of the Greater Manchester Police. Wrong model I now but you've gotta paint something.. except that is a DRA 1-11 in lo-vis grey

I have this happen on 1 of the 4 psds on the ND EC-135. You don't use map 4 very often (it's the one with the annoying door mech) but neither it nor maps 2 and 3 go to 24-bit.. they default to 32-bit where as map one defaults to 24. Can't remember what happens on the ND MD900 as I've only painted one but the ND Bo-105 goes straight to 32-bit on all maps. You can get rid of course by adding your own alpha in DXTBmp and I suspected something interesting would happen with the Islander so left it at my forced 32-bit without changing the alpha in the first shot
