TIFF transparency ON by default

I'm using TIFFs with transparency very often and ticking option when saving file again and again is annoying.

So I suggest to add option in Preferences-File Handling-Save transparent TIFF always on.

Thanks!

If you're scripting saving out your TIFs, that should be easy to do. See the TiffSavingOptions page in the JavaScript guide. You'd want something like:

 

  tiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
  tiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
  tiffSaveOptions.alphaChannels = false;
  tiffSaveOptions.layers = true;
  tiffSaveOptions.byteOrder = ByteOrder.IBM;
  tiffSaveOptions.transparency = true;
  tiffSaveOptions.imageCompression = TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW;

In the mean time, you might want to explore creating an action for saving, if you're often using the same settings.

I would also find it highly beneficial to have this option, for sake of running scripts.
