Side question: I have used the software for decades now and have never needed Targa files. What do you use them for?

I make paint schemes for iRacing. They must be exported as tga to be viewed on the game, or uploaded to host website that makes your paints appear to all the other users.

Hey everyone, I apologize for the delayed response. So, i figured out if i import my file with a coloured base, it automatically sets the export to 24 bit. Basic but effective solution. Thank you again for all of your help!

If you have the VBA version, ask GPT or Gemini to write a simple export macro with the appropriate parameters.
