I have a TIFF File that has a blue background and an Alpha Channel. I would like to save a PNG File which has the blue background transparent, using the Alpha Channel (because some pixels are not fully transparent)

I use Photoshop CS5 Standard, but I haven't found an option there. I don't want to use the Magic Wand because it struggles with half-transparent pixels and because I do have a perfect Alpha Channel.

Any ideas how this can be done?

  • Must the solution be within Photoshop?

  • @hometoast: No. It's what I use, but if there is a better/easier tool for that, I'm more than happy to use it.

I read"convert format" and I immediately think Image Magick.

convert input.tiff output.png

it's unlikely that it won't know what to do in your situation.

  • That worked, but I had to change the background color from blue to white, otherwise the half-transparent pixels weren't converted properly (they had a blue fringe at the edges)
