Okay, I have worked on this for longer than I care to admit and it's making me more than just a little crazy (more than normal, that is). It seems so easy to solve and I can't.
Here's the deal. I have a bunch of icons made for PC's that I'd like to use on the Mac. When I download the icons and unzip the file most come with two icons. An ico and a png image. Originally I could not get either to open in Photoshop so I got this little freeware prgm. (Icon Grabber) that converts icons to tiff files. Now I can drag it into PS and work on it. When I open it it shows up as having a transparent background. All is well. I then save it as a png so it will work on the Mac. All is well again and I can use the icon BUT it's showing up on the Mac as having a white background even though in PS it showed up ?as a transparent background. I have tried saving it to SuperPNG which supports and saves transparencies but still now luck.
What am I doing wrong? Why does the image show up as transparent in PS but not when I use it? The icon works fine on the Mac it just has the unwanted white background. How in the devil to I convert this baby so that is shows up as transparent?
As always, your help is much appreciated.
