Re: [Gimp-user] Preserve transparency in a TIFF
Hi Sven, I'm using version 2.2.4. I've figured out what the problem was -- the image wasn't in RGB mode, it was 'indexed', which I guess doesn't support the alpha channel in TIFF.

Re: [Gimp-user] Preserve transparency in a TIFF
Hi Eric, I don't have multiple layers, my transparency is in an 'alpha' channel, so there is no 'merge layers' available. I can add a new layer, but I'm not sure how to get it to show transparent areas.

Re: [Gimp-user] Preserve transparency in a TIFF
Try a merge visible (under layers) _before_ saving. This will maintain transparency. On Mon, 2005-04-11 at 09:11 -0400, Gregory Yetman wrote: > Hi, > > I have a GIMP image with transparency set.

[Gimp-user] Preserve transparency in a TIFF
Hi, I have a GIMP image with transparency set. I've read that TIFF supports transparency, yet when I try and save my image as a TIFF I have to 'flatten' it first, which removes the transparency. Is there a way in the GIMP to create a TIFF file with transparent areas?
