Targa Problem

Friday, April 22, 2005 by GAMPDesigns | Discussion: WindowBlinds

This new WindowBlinds version is getting me mad. I used to be able to save tga in 32 bit and they would be transparent on the task bar...and if i open a tga it has a black background...but it still works when i load it....so my tgas are not working....is this a bug or problem in the windowblinds or would this be a problem in adobe cs?

Ah... This has been mentioned before!

The Targa save/export plugin in Photoshop CS has changed!

The solution is to copy the 'Targa.8BI' file from an older version of Photoshop (e.g. 6 or 7) into your new Photoshop CS 'file formats' folder (probably \Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plus-Ins\File Formats\). That should make things work as before.

Annoying isn't it. I'm not sure now who posted this tip - but the thanks go to them, not me!

Bugger! I had PS 6 and 7 for up until some few hours ago and I cleaned it all up. (Had to do some tweaks to get back thumbnails in explorer though...)
I had noted this issue as well, but haven't had much time to look into it.
