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!
