Can't save TGA with Alpha Channel

Hi

 

This hasn't been a problem before, but now when I try to save out some composited texture bakes from Photoshop as a TGA file, the option to check the Alpha Channel box is greyed out, giving me no transparency when I load it into Maya. I set it to 32-bit when exporting, and the Mode is set to 8-bit. Not sure if that needs changing... The last texture export I did was set to 8-bit too. I've tried playing around with the Alpha in the Channels box, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks

Turns out the problem was because I'd added an alpha mask twice. There was already one assigned as part of a mask on a folder, and adding another one in the list was conflicting with it. 🙂
