Question

Mask wont export even when i merge layers

So i tried to export a file ive been working on for my clothing brand, but now the problem is that when i try to export it, a layer mask that im using won´t export with it. Even when I merge the layers the mask somehow still misses when exporting the file. I tried to change the document settings stated in some other discussions, but that all didn´t work for me. Does anyone know what the problem here could be?

 

In the files I showed the document in photoshop, the exported product (which already shows it didn't show the layer mask) and the file on a tee shirt in this example. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Most formats don't allow layers or masks. Some can have an alpha channel which can be used for masking. I'm not understanding what is wrong.

The png »Tyson design for photoshop community.png« has transparency, so I don’t understand the problem.

yeah I need it as a png. But do you see the difference between the exported file and the file inside of photoshop. The layer mask becomes totally dark when exporting it.

Do you have any idea what the issue here is?

No. 

Whatever difference there may be it appears irrelevant to me. 


The layer mask just doesnt export. Forget about the comparison between both pictures, the problem is that even when I merge the layers (layer mask and Mike Tyson) and then export it, the layer mask just vanishes. Do you know how to fix that
