How do I quickly delete all channels except the colour channels

« on: November 17, 2009, 02:58:16 PM »

in Photoshop CS3 so that the TIF file can be read by Qimage?

Thanks,

Simply save the Tif in a normal fashion being sure that you are saving with Interleaved pixel oerder, and IBM byte order when asked.

Thanks, Fred,

I don't see those options in CS3 but there is a box save 'Alpha Channels' which strips them out when unchecked. I must have used that box a zillion times nd never noticed!

Thanks

Attached are a couple of screen snaps that show the option box when saving as a TIFF, and the second shot is of the box that you see when saving as a PSD.
You can see the options for the TIFF and in case you save as a PSD, you must have that check in the Max Compatibility box.

Alpha channels are a NO-NO.

Hope you have it working.
