I want to save documents with a transparant background (alpha channel)as a 32 bits targa document (.tga). Although this is possible in other photoshop versions it is not in my dutch version of photoshop CS2.
I would like to use this option to make textures for objects in Second Life. When changed a tga file to 32 bits, the background turns white. When I want to save a transparant psd doc, the option to save in .tga disappears all together. I have just downloaded the dutch 9.02 version.
Please HELP !!!

I am not 100% sure but I think you can. However, Adobe I think changed how you do this. I have never done it so can’t comment any more. It maybe that if you save an image with a transparent background that you get your transparency. I don’t think you have to have the alpha channel now. But, I am not sure. Try the programs help file, it may have the correct information.

I am having the same problem saving a Targa file with the background remaining transparent. I am working in CS2 and also PS7.0 on another computer. I am creating several files required for a specialized background border. The targa file may consist of a text layer, a logo or graphic element layer with layer styles. When I turn off the background layer I see all of the elements I want to save on the Targa file and save as a Targa file. However, when I open this file up independently is has a solid white background and not the transparent one I need. Would appreciate any tips or help. Thanks.
