I'm having a problem with .tga files. They don't seem to be supporting transparency under any saving conditions unlike in Photoshop 7. I think this also affected Autodesk Maya before because i applied a .tga texture i thought had transparency in, and the material turned everything tranparent. Is there a way to get the format to keep the transparency like it used to?
View 2 RepliesI have images to print up poster size,does it make a difference if I hand the copyshop/printer a very large jpg as opposed to the same image as a tiff or tga?
(especially considering I have vector text that needs to stay crisp)
I went to save a file with Alpha channel, RGB, 32-bit as a .tga but the file format wasn't there under the save as options. I've done it before and don't understand why it's not working now. I've tried everything - even ran install again. Didn't UN-install first - should I? I've even opened previous .tga files and tried to do a "save as" so I can change the name, but .tga not available. Even had the tga file open, then just hit save and it came up with a "save as and only gave about 4 options. This is an install on a laptop with a partioned drive running Vista 64. The adobe programs are installed on the c: drive in the Program files (x86) folder. Only thing new in my system is the addition of a second monitor and a cordless bluetooth mouse. Also, the text engine is goofed up - can't work because the text tool engine can't initiate.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a short animation that I'd like to export, mainly because it's faster to use the tween function than manually adjusting my picture and saving every frame manually. Anyway, it doesn't look like Photoshop allows you to save animations in the Targa format and keep the alpha layer that I need in each individual frame. How I might go about either exporting the animation and keeping the alpha layer, or finding some way to work around this without having to manually copy the alpha layer to each individual frame by hand after I export it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI been having a problem with 3ds Max 2010 crashing in Mental Ray. Not enough memory problems. I know you can use Photoshop and convert your jpegs into Targa files at 32 bit and a image size that is easy for 3ds Max 2010 to understand without crashing mental ray. I forgot the Image size. I ran across it in another forum, on another website, but lost the link to the forum. It's been years since I remember the site.

I have started editing photos using the Photo Fix Options in Instant Fix. I have then switched to Photo Editor to fine tune my edited picture. When I use save or save as, to save the edited picture both the edited and original appear in the files. If I start in in Photo Editor and save there is an option to uncheck that reads "Save in version set with Original" However I am more comfortable with beginning in Instant Fix and then switching to photo editor. For some reason when I go to save after switching from Instant fix to Photo editor the uncheck feature is no longer available. step by step instructions to save revised photo afterusing Instant Fix first then Photo Editor.

This is now happened a number of times on 3 machines. Whilst working in fullscreen mode and coming to the end of my work I pressed command+S. Pressing F twice to exit fullscreen mode, the progress bar at the bottom of the window didn't show and the red close button at the top left of the window didn't have a black dot in it (to signify something has changed which hasn't been saved).

When I press command+w to close to file, there is no prompt to save. The file just closes. On inspection of the modified date of the file, it appears that no save was executed at all. The date was from the previous day.

I have lost large amounts of work through this floor in the software. I have used PS since v1 so I am no novice, but this problem is really dangerous and needs sorting out as a matter of priority.
I'm having a problem after I send a file to cs6 from lightroom 4 and edit it, cs6 wants to save the file as a .tif or .psd. I would like to send it back to lightroom as a .cr2 file. Is this possible?

Two examples:
1, image file without any layers, I just had to use the patch tool on two corners to fix something.
2, image file with 25 layers

Both took the same amount to save; one as PSD, and one as LPEG. Is there a cure for saving documents faster? do I have to increase the GBs in the performance option box?
I almost always work from home, but for a project i'm gonna have to work with the client on site for some stuff.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to make an avatar for someone at our church's forums. The picture was of Patrick from SpongeBob. I used the clone tool and cloned him onto a new RGB image with no background (transparent Checked). I then did some touching up by erasing some of the background that was cloned from the first time so that all that was left was just the image of Patrick.
I gave him a drop shadow so that when he would be uploaded onto the forums he would have a raised appearance.
So I went to "Save for Web" and made it a .gif file. I chose the best resolution for the picture and when looking at the example from the four options, it looked just as I thought it would once uploaded to the forums.
Then I saved it and went to the forums to upload it. When the .GIF image came up it had like a white drop shadow along with the original drop shadow that I gave it. Sort of looked like it had a visible aura of white surrounding it. I played around with the image to try and resolve and get rid of the white aura but I gave up.
I created a logo in PS - altho I know that Illustrator is a better tool for that I don't have the skills yet there - and would like to put together a package for the client.
The package (a CD with multiple versions and formats) will include an .ai file.
I tried exporting the paths to Illustrator but I can never see anything when I open it> ?
So my questions are:
1 - If I save the file (in PS) as a PS .eps - then open that .eps file in illustrator
- then save that file as an .ai format - is that as good as if I had created it in Illustrator? I mean - is that a valid .ai file?
2 - When saving as an .eps - I don't seem to be able to preserve the background transparency. I have tried turning off the background layer - which creates a transparent background in PS - but when I open the .eps file in PS again or even in Illustrator a white background is visible. How do I preserve a transparent background?
I am using version 7.0 and I was asked to down save a file to 5.5.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I have an image in PS (for example a background layer and a text layer) is it possible to save this as an EPS retaining vector data or do I have to flatten the image losing vector data
I've tried saving from two layers but it doesn't give me an option to include vector data and I'm under the impression it should. Instead PS tells me I'll lose file info saving in this format
saving EPS files in PS for me so I can use the file in other layout programmes
I run a website so I use photoshop's "save for web" command a lot to reduce the size of my photos. I am using Photoshop 7, and my question is this. Does anyone know if there is a multiple save for web command? What I mean is a command that will "save for web" all open pictures (or specified pictures). This would drastically reduce the amount of work I would have to do especially when I am trying to "save for web" 800 pictures.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI used to save all my working files to PSD and then when I would come back to them some time later would have to manually open each and every one to try and remember what was in them. To get over this I also used to save a PDF version for quick reference to keep with it but sometimes I would forget. and it was tedious having to save 2 files for every one just to have a thumbnail for reference.Not to mention the clutter in my folders. Now I have discovered that PDFs can preserve layers and now I save most of my working files as PDFs. I was just wondering is there any reason why I should not be doing this? Do I lose any data or image quality by doing this? to me it seems that the file size is bigger but I otherwise can see no difference between the on screen quality. And a larger file size is preferable to me over the clutter.

I've got a PSD file with a gradient in it. When I save the file as a BMP (tried with 24 & 32 bit options), the resulting file has obvious "levels" in the gradient - it's no longer smooth.
