Cannot save alpha channel as PNG. need help.

Hi, I am running PS CS5. I am working on my business logo and love the way it has turned out with a texture I added as a new channel (alpha channel). I am using a transparent background on my image, the only compatible way to save is PNG format.(and this is the only way to go with my website restrictions) So when I go to save as a PNG it isnt saving the new channel I have made. Is there any way around this? Any suggestions would be very helpful. I worked all day on this logo only to find that I cant save it the way I like it. frustrating..................

Ok, maybe this will help matters. In the beginning I did a google search on how to get the "distressed" look on my logo, this is the link I found, I did all that he said and did acquire the look I want, now I am having trouble saving as a PNG. When I choose to save as a PNG the alpha channel does not save (when I open the saved PNG file the alpha channel is unchecked). I dont know a whole lot about PS, I am new and dont understand alot of the lingo that alot of you are using, but maybe if you see the steps I took on this link then possibly someone may be able to help me. Thanks

  • Keys in CS-5 - Save Alpha Channel AVI

    Hello. I go shoot keys with green screen. On Location is good for some of that, but I have to remember to adjust the sound level next time. To show kids who did the scripts, I used the CS3 Ultra to quick ket a sample and dump on a background like we plan to use.
    When I get into Premiere CS-5 I want to pick the take I like, trim the ends, key to transparent and save as an AVI with alpha channel. Liked the Ultra keyer when it was separate, but not sure about CS5 one, as controls were better organized in the CS3 version **.
    1) Do I need to set up a line on timeline as alpha channel, in order to save same? If so which one?  These are just keyed person with clear BK.
    2) Please help me with the settings so someone who makes the final steps, I think in another program, can open up the AVI files and have a good key to finish off. So far I haven't found one that will let me tick alpha channel to save.
    **Yes i should find the Premiere fix list and ask for an ULTRA pop up of the CS3 design, if they are going to keep in Premiere.
    3    PS)  Does Adobe have a set of books for the CS5 programs? When i got CS3 they offered me a deal to take the books. Saved me many times to be able to flip pages to find answers. Even a PDF of same might speed things along.

    Look here for the steps to export an AVI with alpha: exporting video with an alpha channel (transparency)
    I don't think you'll ever see Ultra as a standalone program again, as it's now integrated into Premiere Pro as an effect. I never used Ultra CS3, as I thought it was too rinky-dink, but the CS5 version is quite nice and easy-to-use (and get a great key) in most instances. It's not bulletproof, but Keylight in AE takes care of the more troublesome keys.
    You can download a PDF of the help document for a particular application by going to the online version of the help docs, and clicking the PDF link in the upper-right corner. You can get Premiere Pro CS5's PDF right here: Adobe Premiere Pro CS5
    You should also have the Community Help application installed along with the CS5 suite. If it doesn't open when you hit F1 within your app of choice, it should be available in the suite's application folder. It works well, and the help is updated frequently.

  • Enabling alpha channel for PNG file

    I want to include a logo with a transparent background in an iMovie video, but when I import a PNG file with a transparent background, the background turns black. I think this is because the PNG needs to have alpha channel enabled.
    When I attempt to save the file as a new version, the "alpha channel" option is greyed out. How can I save the file with the alpha channel enabled?

    Hi,
    You might want to visit this thread for more info on iMovie's handling of transparency:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13123097
    It sounds like iMovie converts the PNG to a JPG internally for some cases (fit, crop, Ken Burns effect).

  • How come AE cannot interpret Alpha Channel from ProRes4444 ?

    Hi there,
    I exported a video clip using Final Cut Pro X with alpha channel using the ProRes4444 codec.
    I have tested his alpha channel works & it works in FInal Cut Pro X when I import it back to Final Cut Pro X to test it.
    However, when I bring this file to After Effects CS5, it cannot recognize the alpha channel because the transparent part are all in solid black.
    How do I make AE interpret the ProRes4444 file as transparent with alpha channel ?
    Thanks

    Q2. I am using AE CS5. Is it bcos you are using AE CS5.5 that you never have problem with ProRes4444 ?
    Q1. This is part of the basics. Select the file you want to interpret in the Project Panel then either right click or go to the menu File>Interpret Footage>Main or use the keyboard shortcut Alt/Option + Ctrl/Cmnd + G
    Q2. Nope... It's always worked. There were some gamma problems for a while, and a few other bugs here and there with ProRez, but if you're Mac is up to date you should have no problems with the alpha channel.
    Thanks Rick for your help, I really appreciate it as I am not quite familiar with AE.
    Q1. I did the steps you taught me & a new screen pop out. But under the "Main Options" tab, the section under Alpha, there are 4 choices (Ignore, Straight-Unmatted, Premutliplied-Matted with color, Invert Alpha). But all these was all greyed out. Any idea why ?
    Q2. I am using Mac & I just checked my AE CS5 is Version 10.0. I am a student and i bought the Student Edition. Student Edition not allowed to update, right ?
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CC is not showing save "Alpha Channels" to be checked!

    This hasn't happened before!   As in... it didn't happen as recently as yesterday.
    I have a 3 layer image, 2 of them with a large transparent area.  I will be importing this into After Effects.
    It allows me to check "layers" but not to preserve the transparency.  "Alpha Channels" is greyed out.
    When I import into AE, even in the media browser the transparency is gone.  The transparent area is now black.  Ditto when I drag it into the composition canvas.
    Mode = RGB, 18 bit
    When I import the files from yesterday that *did* preserve the transparency, they still keep the transparency.  So I know it's not a problem in AE.
    This is where it gets super weird.  When I take yesterday's file, open it, and try to save it under a new name -- TODAY IT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO CHECK "ALPHA CHANNELS".
    What have I done to take this option away?

    HOLY CRAP -
    Indeed, I did not have that.
    So I added a channel, and it automatically showed up as Alpha 1...... and my whole image turned red.
    When I turned off the image channel, it went back to normal.
    Am I possessed?  

  • Alpha channel in PNGs

    Hi everyone,
    I have the following problem:
    I'm using ImageIO and a BufferedImage to read a PNG with transparency. The PNG was created with another program by setting the alpha value to 0. Then, I try to localize the pixels with transparency using new Color(img.getRGB()).getAlpha(), but all pixels have the alpha value 255.
    Is there another / better way to read the alpha values of PNGs?
    Thanks in advance.

    To get better help sooner, post a [url http://mindprod.com/jgloss/sscce.html]SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable) example that demonstrates the problem. Provide a suitable image for testing on a file sharing site.

    edit but before that, read the API for the Color constructor you have used, more carefully.

  • CS4 (XP-32bit) doesn't save alpha channel

    When I use the "Save As..." command to save a picture with transparency as a Windows bitmap file (.BMP), the transparency information gets lost. I selected alpha-channels and chose 32-bit in the BMP options dialog.
    In CS3 this works fine.
    Any idea how I can get it to work in CS4? The target program can only read BMP-files, so my workflow depends on it.
    Thanks.

    The BMP format does not support transparency.
    A few BMP variants do support an alpha channel (not transparency, but some games use it for transparency). I believe all of those variants are under the advanced options section when saving.

  • Did the update on my iPad. Now I cannot save or share my pictures! Help!!

    I Can only save pictures pre update. But I touched up two pictures and now I cannot share or save them to my ipad. When I try to save it just says processing. And nothing happens.

    I don't know if we are experiencing the same thing. But this is what I wrote in a separate topic concerning sync problems with the update.
    The 1.6 update to the Adobe Photoshop touch app has fixed the crashing issue when trying to sync with the creative cloud.  However, for me all is still not well. After I have worked on a pre-existing file in the Photoshop touch app and synced with the creative cloud, I get an explanation point to the left of the file name and not a check. The blue line goes across the file and it says that the sync is complete in the drop-down menu.  When you check the file in the creative cloud it hasn't synced. In order to get the change made to the file saved to the creative cloud, I have to rename the file. Is this the way the syncing is intended to work after this update? Am I really suppose to rename the file every time I make a change and want to sync to the creative cloud? Am I really supposed to have to archive and then delete the previous files that did not reflect the change in the creative cloud? Would someone from Adobe please respond?
