Re: Making TIFFs with transparency

Can someone explain to me how to make TIFF images which have
transparency? I am trying to make the icons for the toolbar, but there
is always a white background, and it looks terrible.

I am using a transparent background in photoshop before exporting to
TIFF, so I am not sure why it is using "white" for the background of the tiff.


In Photoshop check Preferences | Saving Files | File Compatibility
and select "Enable advanced TIFF save options".

Then when saving as .tiff you should see a Tiff Options dialog with a checkbox for "save transparency" as an option.

That was the solution for me. It seems pretty silly but apparently the default prefs in photoshop silently replace transparent with white!
