It creates a tiff image that I then convert to uncompressed and get rid of the alpha channel by running imageMagick like so: convert sn3.tif -background white -flatten +matte +compress sna.tif Any ideas? Could somebody try that tif file and see if it works on yours or give me one that you know works so I can try it here?
