I opened up an old .PSD file I had lying around, made some bits of it transparent, selected SAVE AS from the FILE MENU, and in the SAVE AS dialogue box, selected PNG as the file format. When I opened up the resulting PNG file, the transparent bits remained transparent. What are you doing differently than I did?

I used to do it myself, until I discovered another option which will also work *and* saves a bit of effort on the user's part... First: Make sure the background is the active layer. If the background is the *only* layer, you're covered. Second: Go to the LAYER menu, select the NEW submenu, select LAYER FROM BACKGROUND from the LAYER:NEW submenu. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
