I used to be able to just import a PNG then Choose File > Save As > choose Targa (.tga) from the drop-down menu. However, i can no longer see this option, either from save as or save a copy.


What could be the issue? Kinda need this format type for a game i am modding in.

    Nevermind, found the problem. The Image > Mode was set to 16 bits/channel. Gotta be on 8 bits/channel.

    Hi @MacoDeVinx I see it as available under Save As on the Mac version. Go to Preferences/File Handling and turn on Legacy Save As and check the Save As menu again.

      Thank you for this but i guess it worked all along, just tried with a file i know it worked on when i made it. that can be exported as a Targa..i guess the PNG i have can't be exported to Targa for whatever reason.
