You want PNG32 export instead of PNG24? Do any save/export formats save a 32bit image? If so you may be able to convert afterwards. If not it looks like the file save engine is not built for it. Perhaps SVG support in Inkscape is more in line with what you want. It also has PNG export (which i have not tested to see if it is PNG32). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkscape#Miscellaneous -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
