Re: FLASH: Flash4 problem importing PNG's?

[Andrew Le Sage]

I have been try to post to the Flash list for two days. I have subscribed OK but none of my messages come up. The PNG thing, I did a long reply.. You got it right and use Fireworks. However PhotoShop 5.5 has now got and export to web option and allows you to optimise files in a way similar to Fireworks 3 it allow PNG24. I do not get this problem with it. I would recommend to anyone doing web graphics with PhotoShop to upgrade to 5.5 it is a massive move forward as far as the web is concerned.


I am trying the list with another account I hope it works.

  This is a longstanding issue with Photoshop's PNG support. My solution is to

  run PSD files through Fireworks and export as PNG from there.


  Anyone know if this is fixed in PS 5.5 or Imageready? It's so annoying.
