Photoshop :: Saving Transparent Tga Files
Aug 8, 2009
I've been using Photoshop 7.0 for awhile now. I haven't upgraded to any other version yet because the original 7.0 actually has a certain bug in it that has been very useful. The bug has something to do with transparency, alpha channels, and TGA files. Somehow this bug lets me save transparent TGA files without creating an alpha channel. All I have to do is save the image as 32 bit and it will come out exactly how I made it. No white backgrounds, just smooth transparent edges. Its easy since I don't have to waste time manually painting a black/white map. I'm wondering if theres a way to do this in the newer versions, but after trying the demos it seems like there isn't. I don't know much about alpha channels, but I make dozens of TGA images with clear backgrounds so I really hope there is an easier way around this. To have to manually color the clear/solid areas with a paintbrush and lasso for each image seems like a nightmare. I wanted to get CS4 but I think it would be easier to just stick with this old version for this reason.

I am working on a Mac (Snow Leapord) with Photoshop CS6. When I try to save a sliced and transparent PSD in the Save For Web dialog box with PNG-24, the transparency dissapears once exported. I have the transparency and interlaced boxes both checked. The images appear transparent in the Optimized Save for Web dialog box, but the transparency dissapears once exported out of Photoshop.
I never had a problem with this when I was using CS4...

I'm using photoshop 7. If I save for web and save as PNG and preserve transparency, it seems to be showing up on forums as transparent for some of the people, but I still see a white box behind my siggy on colored pages. I'm also seeing the white background on all of the buttons on the forum, and the creator of the forum saved them all as PNG and she sees no white. Does this have something to do with the version of IE I'm running (which I'm pretty sure is 6)?? I've asked several other windows users on the forum if they see the white background and they say no! I see it on all 3 of my computers.

I have photoshop7. I have designed a web page in photo shop. I am trying to send it to someone so that she can place it on her web page. I have for example some font that has, inner glow,bevel&emboss,and color overlay. How do I save it so that it looks the same on my photoshop page as it will on someone elses page. When I save it as a transparent gif it's coming out on her page with the correct colors but instead of having the emboss effect it looks like it's stroked in white. I have tried doing it few ways now but no luck. I'm sure I'm missing a step some where.

I have a logo that I want to layer on top of a background image that will together act as the header for the webpage.
The easy thing to do would be to create an image on photoshop layering the background image and the logo, with the logo blend effect, and then save and upload. Problem is that I want the background image to resize with the browser window - without resizing the logo.
Therefore, I figured I could save the background image and logo files separately, and then layer them using HTML and CSS. For it to look comparable therefore, I want to keep the background of the logo transparent. I would also like to set the blend mode of the logo to linear dodge (add) - so that whatever size the background image is scaled to, the logo remains the same size, with the same blend mode. The problem is that when I save the logo as a transparent png file (24-bit), it is not maintaining the blend mode.

Is it possible to save an extracted image as a JPEG file with transparent background? I would like to use the following image of a Christmas ornament without the white background.
Using Photoshop 7 and the magnetic lasso, I had no problem extracting the original image from a white background. I then open a new transparent canvas and copy the extracted image to this canvas. However when I choose to save as a JPEG image, I'm back with the white background. I see in the Matte menu I can choose other backgrounds, e.g. black, grey, etc.. But is there any way to save the extracted pixels without any background.
The reason I ask is that I want to use this extracted image in PrintShop, a card making program. I would like to be able to insert the image of the Christmas ornament without any background. Very often in creating a card you've already created a colored background. It would be nice to be able to insert the ornament without the rectangular white background.

I just went through the tutorial on making an image transparent. It says that it should be saved as png most of the time. It also states that smaller images may not work. I am trying to make a symbol for my clan in a online game. The symbol is 32x32 and must be either in bmp or tga file..I have tried and seem to be coming up short here.

I'm making a .Gif with transparent background. I've added an alpha channel on all layers and erased background I don't want to move in all layers except the last one. I've set it to combine the layers in the "Save As" pop-up, dithered the image (positioned,) and enabled dithering of transparent while converting to index. Looks fine in Gimp, but after I save it, the alpha layer saves as solid black instead of staying transparent to show the first layer's background. I would like to stay positioned indexed instead of automatically as it keeps the integrity of the image better. Is there a step I missed in keeping the layer's transparent after saving?

Every picture from google (or mostly) has a white background, when it is a picture of a single object. Is it possible to save the picture after cutting out the background? I'm working on a video whit a video editing program and I need to insert the picture without the useless white background, just the object.
Example:
In the middle the picture of an object whit the white background. I want just the object without the white background.

I am trying to save text as an image.
I've typed in the text in the color that I want. I've clicked on the magic wand, clicked on the white space and I get the checkered background. But it also covers my text and then when I try to use the saved image, it's all completely transparent.
How do I do this so that the text shows up, but the background remains transparent?

Deleting files and saving files brings up an error message. Files can't be deleted from lightroom which makes editing a nightmare. Also Saving Files (raw of jpeg), brings up an error message everytime.

I installed the CS4 Suite. When Photoshop comes up the background layer is transparent. This happens even if I open a file with Photoshop. In that case, the Layer icon shows the image but what I see on screen is only the checkerboard pattern. The proper way for the New file to show up is with the background a solid (specified) color and for an opened file the actual image being opened.

I create a new file in PS CS, and set the 'Background Content' as Transparent.
Then I create some graphics. PS is showing that the background is transparent.
Then I 'save it for web' as .jpg file. However, now when I open my .jpg file, the background of the .jpg file has turned into white.
How can I maintain a transparent background in my .jpg file.

saving transparent GIFs with Photoshop CS2. To save gifs I use the Save for the web command
If I place a solid background and select it as the trasparent color, the image background remains solid (no transparency shown)
If, on the other hand, I remove the background layer on Photoshop the image is transparent but looks jigsawed and the borders look very bad.
What's the correct procedure to create a transparent GIF?

I have a .PSD with 43 layers that I want to export to separate files. Works just fine using Scripts > Export to Layers...
...except that there are some transparent areas in each of the layers that I want to have a specific background color (the same for all 43 layers). PS keeps making those areas white.
Setting the background color in the toolbar seems to have no effect.

I am new to photoshop and I am having a problem saving my layers in PSD Photoshop cs5.5. I created 4 layers.The problem is that after saving it as a PSD file and during the save process the layers box is checked, it wont open with all layers. So if I close the original that has all 4 layers and then reoping it after its saved, its not the same. The picture looks proper and all layers are in the picture, but on the side properties panel it looks like this..

I just installed CS6 on a new computer, i7 and plenty of everything. Also has windows 8, yuck. On my previous computer running a different ps but the same Lr version, I had no issues. But saving images is a nightmare. I shoot in raw, so my files are large. From within Lr, to bring a photo in tiff format over to ps, edit, save, it will take minutes PER photo. Yet bringing the same raw image into ps via bridge, it saves fine...still a bit slow, but not even close to the lag. Same issue whether it is psd or tiff.
There is no software on my computer other than cs6 and lr4.2, no antivirus, nothing except the other garbage that comes with win 8. I think that because I can't find anything on this issue, it must be due to win 8 as the OS and it is causing a disconnect between Lr and ps.

saving GIF files straight from PS.
When i go to save as and try saving it as GIF, I get a new window saying "Indexed color" and the image's colors go a little crazy...
I've added a picture to show what i mean.
For now I just open the PSD files in ACDsee and save it as GIF from there, but i would like to know the way to save GIFs directly from PS.
