    made a .bmp with alpha channel transparency ok in PShop Steve


    sshot 1 shows it open in axialis iconworkshop with transparent background

    sshot 2 shows PShop channels - the transparency does not render in PShop and no alpha when imported into xtreme

    I have learnt something new

    yes I know that, but worth mentioning for posterity as they say

    I knew you could do this with TGA in PShop - but never even crossed my mind to try BMP

    Pity it is still stuck in the what you see is not what you get mode of old, but useful to know

    Using FactoryTalk in the image properties select the background color as "transparent" - when you do that the black parts of your image will be rendered as transparent. - FactoryTalk doesn't support alpha channel transparency.
