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.
I don't know about Photoshop, but TIFF images with transparency
(well, one transparent colour, anyway) can be done in
GraphicConvertor. Use the magic wand thingy with a T on it (I don't
know what it's called) to choose which colour you want transparent,
and if you try to save the image as a TIFF then GraphicConvertor will
offer to create the alpha channel for you.
