Saving a 32bit targa when your psd has multiple alphas

JoelStransky

Running into a bit of a puzzle with CS6 on Win 7. I have 7 alpha channels in a psd I'm working on. They are various saved selections. One channel however is intended to be included in my 32bit diffuse tga. A Save As writes a blank alpha channel to the tga but if I delete all but one channel from the psd it works fine. That doesn't seem right. Any tips?

ya major pain in the ass, PS really should just grab the one named Alpha or the top of the stack.

what i mostly use for exporting tga's is.

it lets you use a layer group as your alpha channel when exported to targa, and also lets you do tons of other usefull stuff, such as having layer groups export as separate files, and pre and post commands.
