Question

Saving png results in loss of color data in fully transparent pixels

- have a image with color data and mask

- export it to png (whatever method. saving/quick exporting, all of them have this same issue)

- open png and display RGB only data (no alpha), (also could be done through photoshop, import png, layers>layer mask> from transparency)

 

There's an ugly white frame around my image where fully transparent pixels were. I know these are fully transparent but people might use alpha channel to store some other data (like roughness) and this antifeature ruins color data. Also it's gonna ruin mipmaps

Bug or not, until it gets fixed you might consider using a third party plugin called SuperPNG that was developed because of bugs in the way Photoshop handles png files.

This would be helpful if posted in the Bug portion of the forum. Then people can "upvote" it, to get the attention of the developers:
