transparency support not working on windows and photoshop #39

Open apeironn8 opened 1 year ago

apeironn8 commented 1 year ago

I can't seem to be able to paste a render with transparency from blender to photoshop, the pasted image contains a white border to fill the transparent area instead.

I'm reading that it should be supported but I'm not sure if its something wrong ono my end or its a bug?

Platform version 20H2

Blender version 3.2 Photoshop version 23.5.0

I'm not sure if photoshop supports the general clipboard formats that support transparency (PNG, DIB). What version of ImagePaste were you using?

Would you mind trying these releases aswell? v1.9.0e v1.8.1 v1.8.0

thanks for looking into this! I can paste from maya/Vray with transparency directly on photoshop with no problems.

I was on 1.8.1, just tried 1.9.0 and has the same behaviour.

That's interesting, I can't find how maya/Vray does that. General clipboard formats that retain transparency don't work for photoshop. I can't find any software that does work (tried paint.net, any web browser) which I could test.

Would you mind running clipette after copying image from maya/Vray so that I can know what formats it copies to? Just run clipette.py as a script and it should print out the formats. Thanks.
