I am working with PE 6 on a Mac OS 10.6.4

I do have 90+ .PSD files with a few layers and transparency and want to save them as PNG. Doing this by hand one after the other, it works and transparency is preserved in the resulting PNG.

If I run the batch processor, transparency is not preserved.

What is wrong here?

Thanks!

Without seeing the code it's difficult to give you a true answer but I would guess it is using a standard save as PNG this does not support transparency what you need is save for web PNG and would have to be changed in the script.

Thanks, Paul.

I am not a pro in using PSE. So, I don't know which script you are talking about. In "Process multiple files..." there is no option for web-PNG, neither in the simple "Save as...".

The former does not preserve transparency, the latter does.

What else shall I explain?

I haven't got PSE only Photoshop CS3/4 and CS5 so not sure where the scripts are located with PSE.
If you can run a script you could try and see if my Picture Processor script would work, that has the option of saving as PNG SFW plus a multitude of other options.

Paul,

thanks so far, but I feel so stupid not knowing what to do with the script. I placed it in

Application>MyApps>Adobe Photoshop Elements 6>Presets>Scripts

...and what now? Sorry.
