Every time I venture from New Orleans,
I get the sensation of leaving Oz and landing on Kansas.

I don't think you can add a portrait to under age characters (but I haven't tried yet). I would assume the default child portrait would overrule that.
There is (probably) a way to do that via scripting: send him off-map when he comes of age and then 'returning' him with a custom portrait.

Is there a way to make catholic priests portraits in eastern cultures such as Hungary/Poland while keeping pagan priests portraits for other appropriate eastern culture factions?
I got "pagan_priests" + "orthodox_priests" portraits in my eastern_culture folder. However, I also made some catholic priests portraits. The thing is unless I remove the pagan/orthodox_priest folder I get those crappy default priest portraits for eastern culture catholic factions like Hungary/Poland etc; creating a "catholic_priests" folder doesn't work. The thing is I want to keep my pagan_priests portraits too, but if I do Hungary/Poland goes default priest portraits
The portraits in the custom folders will have preference over the regular portraits.
I was not aware that you couldn't make more then two custom folder per character (at least that is what you are describing). To have a third set (the catholic) displaying, have to tried to add them to the default folder in the eastern_european culture?:
...\data\ui\eastern_european\portraits\portraits\young\priests
You might also want to change the portrait mapping in descr_cultures for the EE culture.
I can't get it to work in photoshop
I guess transparency for TGA files is handeled differently, since I do get it to work in GIMP.
Yes I got it to work right now, though it is more then just changing saving options.
Make sure you select to portrait outline and leave the background intact.
Then go to: select -> save selection and create a new channel
then save the file as portrait_young.TGA and make sure the "Alpha Channels" box is ticked.
Then select 32 bits/pixel and tick the box called "Compress (RLE)".
For as far as I have found, this is needed on all CS versions of photoshop.

If I delete the background it turns white not grey squared.

You have to set your 'new' settings to transparent background. Right now it is set to white. See the attachment for more details. If you wish to change your current setting, select the white background and then change it to transparency (colors\color to alpha)
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was very helpful.
Great tutorial Gigantus as always. +rep. Just a question, I'll use Osprey Men-at-Arm books as template for making new UI for my mod like this one:

Damn i am to old to understand.
I want byzantine portraits:
Opened data/ui/greek/ and created portraits folder.
Then family folder and a 2nd portraits folder.
Inside portraits folder i created three folders young/old/dead inside each one i created a subfolder named generals.
I made a simple portrait without background in the proper sizes 68x96 pixels living blanck the background and saved it as 000.tga
and copied it in to the three folders.
Nothing happened.
Damn i am an old dog that can not learn new tricks!

TGC in order to continue its development seak one or more desicated scripters to put our campaign scripts mess to an order plus to create new events and create the finall missing factions recruitment system. In return TGC will give permision to those that will help to use its material stepe by step. The result will be a fully released TGC plus many mods that will benefit TGC's material.
Despite the mod is dead does not mean that anyone can use its material
read this to avoid misunderstandings.
IWTE tool master and world txt one like this, needed inorder to release TGC 1.0 official to help TWC to survive.
