TIFF Image - Transparent Background

Hello,

I understand that the TIFF file format allows for a transparent background. I see such a transform for .png files, but not for .tiff files. Does PWP 8 support a transparent background for .tiff files? If so how would I create such? Thanks.

Re: Can't open or save files

There are a number of utility apps that continuously monitor hard drive SMART diagnostic information and provide an alarm when things start to go bad. I've used one of them for a long time now, and it has saved me much grief. The reality is hard drives fail; it is a matter of when, not if. The SMART...
