Wulfere,

The problem appears to be with Corel. As near as I can tell, those images are all properly sized, cropped, formatted and set in the proper canvas size with the right color density. Either Corel is not saving the images as a standard tga format or the canvas resizing is putting something other than NULL data in the lower portion of the image. There is nothing you can do about the former except to use a different type of software. As for the resizing of the canvas, make sure you are using a canvas tool and not just cropping out the lower portion of the image.

JASC Paint Shop Pro has a trial download that is good for 30 days (actually 60 days as their time limit software gives you a "grace" period). Software sells for 100$ with a 30$ rebate. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sorry the news is not better.
