This is exactly the type of answer I was looking for, thank you!  I thought it might be the case that I wasn't using the right tool for the job, (though in that case a lot of people on the internet making suggestions for this type of thing are also incorrectly using it...), and it being pretty outdated. But it wasn't clear to me what the width setting actually did, even if I wasn't using the tool correctly! That does explain why it occassionally works with some of the smaller images that I'm given too. So I super appreciate the indepth explaination! 🙂   You suggested to use the Select and Mask tool instead, but unfortunately none of the settings there have ever worked for this specific type of image. In this case, I'm being given images that are already transparent rather than having to do the cutting out myself, so I don't need to/shouldn't chop off any additional edge, plus there's often sharp angles in the parts that don't work well with the settings in there. So I'll probably keep up my current routine of that + healing brush tool on a darken layer, unless someone else has a better solution to get rid of a glow around the edges?  That's probably a question for another thread though.  ...

Yup, here's an example of the corner of one of the images, both the transparent image and one with a black background added for visibility.  The top one is the original, the middle is with defringe at 1px, the bottom is defringe at 5px. The middle and bottom ones are exactly the same despite the change in settings.     ... View more

Okay, I'm really curious as to how people would avoid having draft exports throughout the project. Unless you're only making a video purely for yourself, how do you share your progress with whoever you're making the video for? Genuine question. I get your point for people complaining about changes that other people wanted, but I don't think completely dismissing the people who are upset at the changes is the correct way to go about it, yet that's what Adobe frequently decides to do. Especially when it's taking away a feature that used to be present, like the current FX indicator colors issue. By trying to update it in a way that pleased some people, they took away an essential function for others, when they easily could have implimented it into the new design as well instead of discarding it, just giving an option to disable it if it needs to be for some people.  In this case I don't really think "well other people do it differently" matters at all, because the easiest solution is to just add an additional option for people who work like the OP and I do. Plus, since it's different in After Effects, they really should have their two video programs work in the same way for something like that anyway, imo. No matter how different people use a program, there should be consistancy in things like that?   ... View more

Ohkay, sorry I thought you completely missed the point, hah. I specifcally meant it was silly to assume I would want to save to the previous folder if I specifically have 'save to a specific folder' disabled, since it would seem to make a lot more sense to save next to the project file in that case rather than somewhere likely completely unrelated to the project.   Though personally I can't imagine exporting everything to the same folder, it sounds like a mess when you're in the drafts phase, or working on multiple projects at once. XD ... View more

Okay, but if people are exporting all of their projects to the same folder like your example, they would use the "export to a single location" option, wouldn't they? I'm talking specifically about having that option turned off, and it still defaulting to the previous place instead, like the OP specified as well.  ... View more

I'd like to second this, having it automatically default to the previous project's location is silly, if I'm working on a new project now, why would I want it to export to the old location? ... View more

Have you tried resetting your preferences? My version of premiere never changed colors, I only get newer dark colors in the beta version, and even then the "classic" preset does look like the old colors still. (Cerulean at it's default does have white text though, which has absolutely awful contrast.) (if this image appears, beta with "classic colors" on top, current release bottom.)   If you aren't able to get the colors restored by resetting preferences, I can copy/paste the hex codes in my preferences from the classic pallete and see if that works for you to manually change them? 😮   ...

I'm having the same issue! Non-Library SVGs work just fine, and the ones from the library still show up okay where they're placed in past documents... But CC Library SVGs say "This item is not supported in InDesign" when I hover over them.  Hopefully they fix this soon!   ... View more

I'm encountering this too, I thought maybe editing the caption preset file itself would work to fix it but unfortunately not. Changing or removing the "NumLines" part of the file doesn't do anything, it just resets it back to 1 when the preset is imported. I can't seem to find where the imported presets are saved so I can't try testing straight from there, if that's even possible.  This is rather frustrating as the point of presets is to not have to click extra buttons each time!  ...

I've created an idea thread about this as recommended by @BrettN, though I focused more around re-adding the old version of the function as a new non-legacy option rather than adding the transparency capabilities to actual Index PNGs, since that is all I need. I did mention that though, and said that I believe both should be available, but that they should go ahead and readd the existing function to export settings too. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-ideas/restore-old-png-8-export-transparency-function-as-a-new-option/idi-p/13004208#M14838 ... View more

@BrettN Thank you for all of your explaination here! I absolutely agree that the name of the option is confusing, especially when it has been working differently than intended for such a long time and has now changed, without people knowing there was anything wrong in the first place. The option saying "Indexed Color" rather than "8-bit" would probably help, as it's more clear to someone with not as much knowledge that indexed color doesn't support the semi-transparent pixels, or at least that's something that I was aware of.  This is where I was looking that got me confused about the 8 bit depth supporting alpha transparency, for the record: https://www.w3.org/TR/PNG/#11IHDR I did try out the "Generator" option, even though it's a bug that may also be patched out, but unfortunately this will not work for me as it cuts out all blank transparent space in the canvas around the layer, if I have a 40x100 image centered on a 40x200 canvas, it will still export as 40x100. This option also created the same size of images as the Legacy Export As option did, so I will just keep Legacy on for now and hope you never remove the option!  (About Photoshop never supporting exporting smaller file PNGs with semi-transparency; that's rather inaccurate considering it has been doing so up until this bug was fixed. 😛 It just never has on purpose, which seems to be a big oversight considering how vital smaller files with semi-transparency are for people working with web design. For me the "Smaller File" part of the option is much more important than the "8-Bit" part of the option, because in my case, I don't need to care how the files are being generated in a way that's smaller, as long as they look fine. I'm sure many people, including the person who started this thread, are in the same boat. Even though the option was not working as intended, it still was producing a valuable outcome by reducing the file size dramatically for semi-transparent images, important for the people using it for the combination of alpha transparency + small file sizes, which is now unattainable without the Legacy settings enabled. I feel like it should be considered to be added as an actual option for this reason.) ... View more

@BrettN That's great that you fixed it, but I never had any problem before with smaller 8-bit files being created, they were always smaller than the PNG-24 option and therefore there was no issue. So to some people, rather than fixing anything, you just changed the way it worked where it now works worse than it did before, creating low quality images that are actually larger than the PNG-8s being made with legacy options enabled. I just did several tests and every time the new PNG-8 export was larger than the legacy one, 248 vs 238 kb, 7.5 vs 6.5 kb, etc, with the smaller numbers being the result of using legacy export.  It's great that the legacy option is there for us to use, but what about when you phase it out, are we just stuck never being able to export a smaller PNG with partial transparency? The fact that your PNG-8 system now doesn't support the partial transparency is ridiculous considering that's one of the main features of PNGs. If you look at the W3 standard for PNGs, 8 bit supports alpha transparency, so there's no real argument on why to exclude it. (You also mention not choosing the 8 bit option if we do not like how it looks now, but for web developers that simply is not an alternative that can be done. The file size difference in a 24 bit photo to an 8 bit photo is dramatic, and files used on websites need to be as small as possible without sacrificing too much quality, which is now impossible on PNGs with your current system only exporting 8 bit images with jagged edges and no partial transparency.) Is there really no way you can come to a middle ground, and either fix it again so that the PNGs actually have one of their basic functionalities, or give us an option in the new export as dialouge to chose if there's partial transparency in it or not? PNG-8 could be a separate option from 'smaller' PNG-8 for example, if the jagged-edged no partial transparency data option is truely smaller.  ... View more

I am now having this problem again in the most recent update, 23.2.1, PNG-8 no longer will save any partial transparency and is giving my images jagged edges. Enabling legacy "Export As" in the preferences does work as a work around for now at least. ... View more

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to suggest another non-adobe program on this forum, but GIMP may have what you're looking for here, it has a 'colour to alpha' setting that you can use to set a certain colour to be transparent, in this instance the black. This worked pretty well for me when I needed it to get rid of the background of a picture with some welding sparks. (If adobe has a problem with my non-adobe suggestion, they can just add this feature to photoshop too!) ... View more
