I have a cpt image that has a single object with transparency applied as a gradient from 100 to 0 via the interactive transparency tool. I would like to export this as a transparent png for web use. However, photopaint x4 doesn't seem to allow me to do this - I get a message that object(s) will be merged, and then no option to maintain the transparency.
My workaround is to save it as a psd from photopaint, open in photoshop, and then use photoshop's export for the web. But there must be a direct way to do it in x4, right?
Hello Mr. Jeff,
I have no idea what you guy's are doing different, but there is no white haze anywhere to be found in my transparent PNG's, I tryed anyway I knew. Perhaps this issue is system dependant?
The file I included here is the tranparent PNG on a black background.
here is the original transparent PNG file http://www.alfredky.com/pp/test.png
Hmmm here is another idea...

Hi Foster,
Sending out of Draw, no problem.
But there is always a problem when saving from PP... the change is noticeable only when comparing the difference with what Draw sends out for the same image. And, the damage may or may not be critical, depending on the range of transparency. That's why it's so elusive. For ex, a 3 px feathered mask, not a deal breaker. A wide spanning transp - much more noticeable for the anomaly.
I noticed this in V. 9 days when importing PNG's from PP into Flash, something didn't seem right.

HI A,
here is your test file from the site compared to the one embedded in post below.
I have some hope for a fix, since export transp. TIFFS from PP doesn't add the haze.
