I think the sky texture is a A8R8G8B8... I have gotten it to work using adobe photoshop, but can't get it to work with paintshop pro. Anyway, mess with the options, because the sky, threshold, and basis are all of the same type, and different from the normal. Play with the alpha bit.

gr8, it says texture imported, but it stays black, and sky doesnt change...
