How to save a PNG with layers in Photoshop.

i am tryin to save a PNG with layers. Is it poosible ?
What i found on the net is ....PNG is not meant for multiple layers. But still want to know if photoshop have its own proprietory standard for PNG.
Thanks in advance.

No, it is not possible.
PNG doesn't support layers.
A few apps stuff their own private data into PNG to hide layer data, but well, it's private undocumented data.

How to save a png with a straight or fat alpha?

Long story short, work in broadcast and a new piece of gear prefers png files. I know how to save png's with a transparency, that's not the problem. What I don't know how to do or if it's possible is to save them with a straight or fat alpha. Right now we feather or extend the edges out past the alpha of say a logo and save it as a tif, psd or .tga. That way once it's keyed over video or whatever, the edges look good, no black bad edging.... this makes sense, probably not explaining it very well. But switching to png files I have no idea how to make a straight or fat alpha since it sees transparency. I mean if I feathered out the edges, a png will see that correct, since there's no alpha??
I hope this makes sense ?

Chris, this is probably the answer I seek "PNG always saves with straight color - that's how the PNG spec defines it."
I admit my explanation was a bit weak and I understand PNG only supports transparency, which is not an alpha, and the apps aren't treating them wrong....I just couldn't formulate an intelligent question and explain it, my bad.
After thinking about it I don't think using a PNG will work. RIght now for broadcast gear/applications if we don't fill the transparent and semi-transparent areas of an image with the colored part of the image, we usually end up getting a dirty key/matte or a lot of fringing. So when using a .tif or .tga that reads an actuall alpha, we can fix the issue by doing what I described. In fact we use a quick little plugin from flaming Pear called "Solidifty" to speed up the process http://www.flamingpear.com/download.html . With that said, I know we can't do the same steps with a png because it only sees transparency, but I guess I was wondering if there was a work-around or a trick to fix that issue. I could be wong, but doesn't a png save with white ?
But again, as I thought about it, I think i'm asking for something it's not meant to do, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks Chris, does this make more sense or more confusing? The bottom-line is I don't think it will work.

How to batch convert psd to png with layers

how to batch convert psd to png with layers
i want to convert lots of PSD files into PNGs WHILE RETAINING
LAYERS!
simply batching and choosing custom setting flattens the
thing.
how do i do that!??
and i KNOW it can be done somehow - because i have some old
png's i KNOW come from the same psd source. ironic, isn't it?
besides - feature wish for adobe developers:
A) batch conversion should include 300dpi to 72dpi and vise
versa.
B) batch conversion should include PSD to PNG and vice versa
- including layers and transparency.
C) RGB to CMYK option when converting from 72 dpi to 300dpi.
D) batch exporting should include PNG32 which it doesnt now -
but somehow DOES include the outdated and stupid gif-format.
E) i'd like the Actions feature of photoshop - makes batching
complicated procedures easly.
F) I'd like support for the brushes of photoshop
G) Better selecting tools for details like hair and fine
edges.
Important notes is that i as webdesigner often need to make
certain aspects of my clients graphics into print material. Also
that i use fireworks for picture editing.
Praise for the developers of fireworks
A) the compression facility of JPGs is AWESOME!
B) PNG as fileformat is likewise awesome - i end up using it
for almost all i do these days. Transparency and good file sizes. I
have used fireworks cs3 to convert all psd and tiff and ai files to
PNG.
C) the vectors and styles and method of selecting and editing
things in fireworks is FAR SUPERIOR to flash and photoshop!

With what program are you working and with what version of the program and on what computer operating system?
I suspect that you are working with some version of Photoshop Elements. If that is correct, then be advised that some how
your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) instead of the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing).
If Photoshop Elements question, then please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator
here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
Photoshop Elements
Thought....if are creating an image on a transparent background in Photoshop Elements Windows for a Premiere Elements Windows project, then you Save As png or psd.
Please clarify if I have misinterpreted your question.
Thank you.

How to save a flash with .SWF

Hi, I have the 'Adobe Flash CS3 Professional', and I want to
know if you could tell me how to save a flash with .SWF.
When I want to create a new project, I can chose between nine
types of documents, and I want to make a flash for a website. What
type of document would you chose if you were me ?
I can't write the name of the diferent types of documents,
because I have this programme in Spanish.
Can you help me ?
Thank you

FLA is the native source format - make your movie and then
publish to SWF -
you can not create an SWF initially - SWF is the
exported/published format
of your FLA>

How to save a graph with some parameters on it?

hi
my application involves analysis of data and plot a graph of analysed data, how to save graph along with analysed data in a file otherthan labview?

Well, it sounds like you are wanting a picture of the graph, yes? If so there are two ways of getting it. First there is a VI method (Get Panel Image) that lets you get an image of the entire screen, and then there is a control method (Get Image) that lets you get an image of just the front panel object that you are interested in.
The help file entries for either method provides added detail on how to uses these methods to save a picture of your data.

Anybody knows how to save a variant for an ABAP that uses a Logical database with Dynamic Selections?
Have a look for example to the following:

How to save 0820 as Connection Number?
Function Group SVAR seems good but FREE SELECTIONs are not easy to manage...

Hello,
I tried to save the variant of DEMO_PROGRAM_GET with dynamic selection field (Connection Number) filled. It gets saved without any problem. Just click 'SAVE' and enter the variant name and description.

How to import a PNG with alpha?

I have some images I made in photoshop (on my PC) that have a transparent background. I exported them as a 24 bit PNG with a alpha channel. Importing to my ipad through itunes as a photo seems to loose the alpha channel. How do I use alpha in Keynote? This is a very basic function - what am I doing wrong?

First off, Thank you to Iwell, skers1 and Kyn Drake for your help. I also found an unlikely work-around since posting my question. It's an app called myPhone Desktop (universal binary). It will let you copy a phone #, text, url or image from your desktop (pc/mac) and sends that to your iPhone/iPad/iTouch! Best of all, it supports image alpha! Very quick and simple. Here is the link http://www.myphonedesktop.com

How to open .ai file with layers intact?

Is there a way to open an .ai file inside of Photoshop CS4 with all its layers sitll intact? If so, how?

That command tries to write layers but most of the functions from Illustrator aren't available in Photoshop so it flattens those layers to preserve the image quality. I wouldn't bother with it, there's not much point in editing Illustrator layers in Photoshop anyway. If you have to bring .AI files into Photoshop then use File->Place to turn the .AI file into a Smart Object.

How to save a clip with a transparent background?

How do i save a clip with a transparent background to export to quicktime and then be able to import it back into my timeline and have it be able to overlay ontop of another clip? Transparent clip is for lower third

For transparency to work, you need to save it in a format that has an alpha channel. Not sure if FCE supports the Animation codec but if it does you'll want your material as "millions of colors +". The "+" means Alpha.

How to save files received with iChat?

I was in a text chat with a friend. He sent me an mp3 file, and it showed up in the chat window with the familiar play controls of Quicktime.. I was able to listen to it and everything. However, I couldn't figure out how to save the files??? All I could do was play, rewind etc...no way that I could see to save it.
Any help you can provide?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
You should be able to drag it from the window to the Desktop and subsequently, any folder.
Alternatively you can set iChat to save all Chats and replay it from there.
Or use Save As when the App that uses the files is open with the file in question.
