Cant Import Sprites!!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!! This Is Urgent!!!!!!!!!

HELP! I am making this project and I just spent my whole day making sprites on photoshop. The problem is that when I try to upload the picture, I click on the file and its empty! I checked the file afterwords, but the pictures are in the folder just where I left them. Do I need to adjust the file formatting (now the formatting is Photoshop PSD)? Do I need to change it to jpg or something like that? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to change it to a format other than .psd, because only Photoshop can read those. If it's for a sprite, I'd change it to .png, because .jpg/.jpeg is meant for photos and will put "artifacts" in the sprite (a lot of extra pixels that you didn't put in the image and makes the sprite look bad). When you save an image for the first time or you press "save as", it usually lets you pick what file type you want it to be. Just choose png and you'll be fine.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Yep, change it to .png.
