Hi,

I have been using photoshop art-board for a year, and last month I suddenly couldn't export transparent PNG. I can't seam to get the background "off" . as apposed to a file with no art-boards - where the background looks like a checkered background. If I export from there it works , and is transparent. but I ave a file full of little pop ups, and I need their background transparent and not white. anyone have a clue?

Correct answer Feysal Anthony

so this worked for me dont select the art board selet just the layer you want to export and right click and export.

there isn't a layer with white. that is what is puzzling to me - there is white - and I can't find what defines it. also with all layers of, there is still white, no checkers.

The white box is smaller than the art-board size, it should be transparent around the borders.

This is also on my colleagues computer - so the file itself seams to be wrong.

can you help?
