^^It will look like that in an image preview, because you can't view the alpha channel.

The image preview in Photoshop:




I'm sure Photo Studio does batch processing similar in the way Photoshop does, and you should be able to view the alpha channel in Photo Studio as well.

Because you're trying to recolor the icon itself, which is in the alpha channel.


Alpha Channel: Black (completely transparent) to white (completely opaque).

I'd just like to say that this is a very good tutorial and it's very easy.
