How to fix issue with saving flattened PNG32 with transparent background?

Jun 9, 2012 1:50 PM

Tags: #cs6

Using CS6 on a 15 inch MacBook Pro. When I save a layer as a flattened PNG file, the transparency is not preserved and I see a white background. Tried using the export option with the same result.

 

I originally switched from CS5 to CS6 to address this issue itself. It worked the first time after fresh install. However has stopped working since then. Seems like a bug in the software.

 

Can anyone help find a way to address this?

 

Thanks

    Are you exporting in 8 or 32 bit format with Alpha transparency? The 24 bit PNG format does not support transparency in Fireworks.

    I have the same issue with CS6, Can't export transparent PNG 32 or transparent PNG 8, can't go back to CS5 because then I can't use the CSS generation tool... So I need to use CS5.x to create the transparent PNG and I need to use CS6 to create the CSS... Bah this is an awful workflow. I don't know why Adobe has never been able to get transparent PNG's correct. Between photoshop and fireworks there is so much confusion with the PNG 8, PNG 24, PNG 32, what is transparent, what isn't transparent.... It's a joke. Fireworks is such a better program for web design than Photoshop yet this is the one thing that has been holding Fireworks back and it's still doing it. GIANT PITA!

    Please supply a sample file that you are having trouble with. PNG 32, and PNG 8 with alpha transparency both work for me, consistently.
