How to fix black background issue with PNG files in Photoshop

[deadkitty]

I am experiencing an issue with all transparent png files copied from Chrome and pasted into Photoshop CS6. The background is black rather than transparent. These images are one I created and exported using "save for web". It worked fine in CS5 so it must be a bug.

Does anyone know of a fix or workaround? I constantly have to edit images taken from our website so being able to copy an image quickly with transparency intact is very important. I'm running CS6 in Windows.

Still shouldn't have to do that..
Work flow should be a #1 priority for Adobe across all OS platforms

The perfect work around has been posted above but why would you even want to think of having to work around a simple copy and paste.

That is Windows 10 fault that is a bully for me. It wants you to use their programs.

Edit with Paint 3D

Menu

Save as

Image

Save Yes

You have your transparency again.

Ok, it's me again.

I have found that it has to do with the opacity. It has to be 1%. If it is 100% the background will turn black at some moment. If you use Paint 3D to save the image with opacity 1% it will stay transparent. If you use Photoshop with opacity 1% it will stay transparent until you change the opacity for any reason, then anything you have saved in Photoshop will turn black.

I don't know anything about programming so I hope it might help somebody who can find a way to fix this.

I have a cutting machine and use a lot of silhouettes. A black silhouette in a black background is a really wrong combination.

Paint.net doesn't have this issue nor does the Microsoft Office suite... is there some sort of special workaround these programs are implementing that the Adobe suite could be making use of?

This solution is not entirely accurate.
I can copy and paste a PNG into Powerpoint and it will honor the transparent background.
