Having issue with PNG import that has 100% transparency.
If i give it 99% trans it works fine when importing PNG,
it will discard all the color info in file if its totally transparent.
TGA seams fine…
Anyone else having this issue?
That’s how PNG works, if you have transparency then it does not contain anything on those pixels. That’s one of the reasons why you might use TGA instead of PNG since TGA just saves it in the Alpha channel and doesn’t do anything to the other channels.
Transparent PNGs work fine for me. It doesn’t take away the color data even when parts of the alpha are fulle transparent.
PNG is just a terrible option when dealing with transparency/alpha channels. Just use TGA.
Why exactly is that a terrible option? PNG supports RGBA images with both 8 and 16 bit precision per channel (up to 64 bits per pixel).
Some applications discard color info where there is 100% transparency (not all, and it’s sometimes hard to remember), if you want to use Photoshop to create alpha channels, it’s not as simple and easy as it should be, and you need to something like SuperPNG if you want decent control over the alpha channel/transparency. PNG just can be destructive and I avoid anything destructive.
If we had Tif this would not be an issue.
