Funny...

A 32 Bit Image is RGB image plus an alpha channel to define its transparency. CMYK( Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black ) is for printing... never ever convert a RGB image to CYMK. You will lose a lot of colors if you do.

:yes: hes right cdog is wrong ( i hope :p )

u got to change the mode from RGB to index then save then a box comes up and then select 32 bit u have a 32 bitmapped image :p :cool:

(if ur saving it as a .bmp)

:cool:

If you think photoshop is the be-all-end-all of graphics software then you have problems. That or you're a sheep.

Anywho, yes you're right and in fact, you can't save 32bit CMYK BMP images due to the colour loss if you did. It can't hold the colour seperation data. I do a lot of stuff for print so, forgive my mistake...but do me a favour and quit all this wrist action over photoshop...

I acknowledge the fact that photo-paint is a good software for image manipulation. But, i still think that photoshop is the best tool for this task. In fact nearly all the adobe products are the best in their own domains perhaps except indesign, which is not as good as the good ol' widely used Quark Xpress

Anyway, that's just my opinion :)

It does have to be a bmp. XP hardly even supports .png. Just look at the way it displays them in IE.

The alpha channel thing. If you add an alpha channel won't that force Photoshop to save in 32 bit mode? It should at least give you the option.

If you want transparency, then you'll need to give it an alpha channel. Bring up the layers toolbox and create a new layer, add whatever you want to the alpha channel then choose 32bit when saving.

Most programs however use the 'magic pink' colour to define transparency though.

in photoshop cs, i click save-as, select bmp, select where i want to save it, then it comes up with a window that gives me an option to save as 32-bit.

As a reference, that is exactly what Photoshop 7 gives you (talked about earlier in thread).

True enough.

If you give me a chance, I'll try exactly what you are trying to do later.

    • And we think AI can take over lower level programmers jobs? Just search for the SHA hash for the "rogue" sound file and delete it.
    • Meta will use AI to summarize your WhatsApp messages by David Uzondu Recently, Meta announced that ads are coming to WhatsApp, appearing in Status and Channels. Now, another update is on its way, this time in the form of a new feature called "Message Summaries", that leverages Meta's AI to summarize your chats for you. For those moments when you are drowning in unread messages, you can choose to have the AI generate a quick summary to get the gist of a conversation. To address the immediate privacy alarms this sets off, Meta says that its "Private Processing technology" will be used. This supposedly ensures that neither Meta nor WhatsApp can see your original messages or the private summaries the AI generates. To prove its sincerity, Meta published a deep technical white paper that explains how this privacy is supposed to be maintained. In the technical documentation, Meta explains the way it works is built on "Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)". These TEEs are essentially secure, isolated black boxes running on a server, powered by hardware like NVIDIA H100 GPUs. Your phone establishes a direct, encrypted connection to one of these TEEs, sends the message data for processing, and receives the summary. Meta's own administrators and other systems supposedly cannot peek inside this box. And when the job is done, no message is retained. The security of the entire system hinges on being able to trust that this TEE is what it claims to be. Meta's system uses a process called remote attestation. Before your phone sends any data, it demands proof from the server. This proof is a cryptographic report, signed by the hardware itself, verifying that the TEE is running the exact, unmodified software that Meta has publicly logged with a third party like Cloudflare. Only if that proof checks out does the connection proceed. Users will have control over this process. The feature is off by default, and a setting under "Advanced Chat Privacy" will let you specify which chats can be shared for AI features. Message Summaries is currently rolling out in English for users in the US, with Meta planning for a global expansion sometime next year.

    • Well I tried New Outlook a bit in the past, But was concerned on the privacy aspect with Gmail Imap and Comcast.net email going to Microsoft Servers. I've been using Outlook Classic since 1997 on my Personal systems, so for now think will stick with that, but i could get used to New Outlook i think fairly quickly if i forced to in the future. Anyhow who knows maybe it will be as good as Outlook Classic in the future, never know
