I know we've been here before, Hayes, but I still can't figure out how to get transparency. From what I can gather, the corresponding parameter in Photoshop is Opacity, and I'm doing that and it looks great in PS, but does not translate to the iPhone. It just won't do any amount of transparency.

Any PS'ers out there help?

In the meantime, do you mind posting that transparent dock.png ya got there?

[Hayesimus]

sure. here it is...

You're a funny guy.

edit: lol... it was actually there. I expected it to be an attachment.

[Hayesimus]

haha
it is there just right click below the "sure. here it is..." and save image as... whateve it says SB blah blah blah. then put it on your phone.

[Hayesimus]

yeah. that was fun. :P

[psylichon]

Worked a treat... thanks Hayes.

I'd still love to know how to achieve this in Photoshop... surely someone out there knows.

[Hayesimus]

to rehash. the image appears invisible in PS. With the black and white checkers behind it. And when you save it, what do you save it as? .png? .jpg? that could make a difference.

[psylichon]

yup, nothing but grey checkers in PS. I save it as a PNG. It even appears blank in Windows Picture and Fax viewer at this point... dump it to the iphone.... not transparent.

It's so weird.

[Hayesimus]

did you name it correctly? perhaps? SBDockBG.png?
