Why do My png images not show alpha channel in content manager

[GhostHackerXL1]

Hello, I’m new to UE5 and For some reason my PNG images are not showing the alpha channel as transparent in the content manager. Anyone know why this is and how do I go about fixing it? Thanks in advance!

Please have a look at this thread

.PNG loader corrupts RGB when alpha==0

If a .png with a valid alpha channel is imported, the resulting texture has incorrect RGB values where alpha==0. Instead of the contents of the source file, pixels with alpha==0 seem to take on the RGB value of the last pixel processed on the current row with a non-zero alpha. A workaround is to convert the .png to a .tga and import that, in which case the RGB values for pixels with alpha==0 are imported correctly. See the attached example.png - RGB noise with a circular alpha mask. [138040-…

The solution is to use GIMP and Not Photoshop lol, I first tried with Photoshop and I kept getting crazy results in the Content manager but it worked fine inside the Game. I then tried to export out of gimp and use these settings in the (ScreenShots) and everything came out like I expected. Hopefully this helps anyone Who has the same issue.
