I have a png (fireworks file) with a logo in it. When I open it in Fireworks, the background is transparent. So I export to a png (24) image with a transparent matte. When I open the resulting file, the background is white.
So... I then open the original fireworks file in Photoshop, because I know how to export a transparent png in photoshop, but when I open that file in photoshop, the background is white instead of transparent.
How come Fireworks won't export the transparency??
I've never used Fireworks, but when I hear of a transparent matte, I think of "turn every rgb(255,255,255) pixel transparent" if you don't have that colour picked, it may not work.
24 bit PNG's don't have transparency either. Each channel is 8 bits wide ... in a 24 bit PNG those channels are Red, Green, and Blue. In a 32 bit PNG they're Red, Green, Blue and Alpha. The confusing bit is that Photoshop says it saves in 24 bit when it's actually saving as 32 bit.

Yeah, I was just about to post regarding that... I noticed in the first post, that Ninja did save in 24 bit, which made me very confused as I "KNOW" it works in "24-bit" PNG images...
How strange of them to do that... do they not consider Alpha a proper channel?
