Title: how to deal with transparency in psd or png
Post by: corriette on 2018-03-15, 15:43:59

Hi,

Is there a way that Corona can read the opacity directly from a file exported by photoshop (.psd, .png,...) in an alpha channel? Like a way to make C4D or Corona read only the alpha channel of the same file.
Currently when I want to cut something out, I make a different black/white file to plug into the opacity channel. However I find it this a cumbersome way of working, with a lot of assets to keep track of and was wondering whether there was a better way.

Thanks for any help.

If I understand you correctly, You can easily load an .psd into the texture slots, and use the layer set option to easily choose what image you want it each slot. No need for multiple files.
