I have created many images in .png format, which supports alpha. Then I upload them to imgur (also in that format), then i install them to my iPad mini (- Maybe here is the break point??) and save them to Codea. Might you please help me saving images to Codea with alpha support
As I recall, the iPad saves as jpg
The answer is to save pngs in Dropbox
Hey at @TokOut, what @Ignatz says is the best way to keep control of the files and access the originals. I personally email the new files to myself and choose save all from the email when I hold down on one image but only because I don’t always have access to Dropbox.
The other thing is to check how your saving your PNGs. I personally use photoshop. Make sure the background is transparent before exporting and choose 24bit with alpha as the format. You can choose 8bit with alpha, but only if you want a pixelated edge and not a smooth cut out. For my game I have pixel art which would be perfect for 8bit with alpha but even so I still save as 24 bit with alpha as the file sizes are tiny.
Happy to see what images you have are transparent to check the alpha is working.
