Alpha in Gallery Show question

Posted by Thor Johnson on April 21, 2023 at 5:10am

Hi, sometimes when I am running Gallery Show, some of the resulting images (PNGs) will have an alpha transparency, which I do not want. Sometimes it will be several images in a row with part of the image having alpha transparency, or even the entire image being totally alpha transparent (i.e. absolutely nothing to be seen there when opened up in photoshop except the transparency checkerboard).

What can I do to make sure this does not happen?  Thank you.

    Do you have Canvas : Alpha : Enable for View menu activated?

    The PNG file format supports embedded alpha channels.  Sounds like it is either being set to full off, or some other option.

      Yeah, I like Alpha in PNGs when I want it to be there, just not in my Gallery Show sessions.  I had the preferences set for Layer Alpha, so I will change that to Full On. I'm not making movies (Windows 7 problem) so would that matter?
      Thanks for the response!

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
