Hi there.
am currently working on a Flash site which is relying quite heavily on images with transparency.
my method has been to create PS3 images, save as TIFF, preserve transparency, and then import into Flash. However sometimes when I go to save, I do not get the TIFF options dialogue box, and when this happens Flash cannot import the image.
I found this quote on another post which might be related, but I do not know enough about photoshop to understand it!:
"Keep in mind that before you will have a transparency option when saving, you need to have either a clipping path or an alpha channel saved with the transparency info in it. (aka a mask)"
is this what I am not doing, and if so, how do create a clipping path or alpha channel to save my transparency info 'in'?
At the moment I seem to be able to get around the problem by opening a new image, dragging the layer into that, and then saving. but it's a pain in the arse and for some of them, I need to preserve the position of a layer more accurately...
Many thanks for any help!
