Release 1.9. TGA works (alpha bit is correct)! Thank you!

Guys, correct the alpha channel bit in the TGA file format on transparent images, please 🙏 http://www.paulbourke.net/dataformats/tga/ Image Specification. Bits 3-0 - number of attribute bits associated with each pixel. For the Targa 16, this would be 0 or 1. For the Targa 24, it should be 0. For Targa 32, it should be 8.

One month left before the anniversary of the defect 🎉 All this time I have to use GIMP to work with TGA 😥

Hi, Sean P. Is there any news about fix tga export?

Hi Sean, It's inner software in my company. It was created across TGA documentation and works well with TGA files exported from Gimp and Photoshop. In other viewers it works fine (Photoshop, Gimp, Blender, MacOS default viewer, etc.). I can acquire request for modification our soft but I think that better for Affinity is support TAG format correctly. Example in attachments: demo1.tga Header(hex) 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 31 00 20 20 (Affinity Photo) demo2.tga Header(hex) 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 31 00 20 08 (Photoshop, no RLE compression) demo3.tga Header(hex) 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 31 00 31 00 20 28 (Gimp, no RLE compression, origin top-left) demo4.tga Header(hex) 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 00 31 00 20 08 (Gimp, no RLE compression, origin bottom-left) As you see last 4 bits (0x0F) have information about alpha channel size (8). demo4.tga demo3.tga demo2.tga demo1.tga

Hello. I was tested exporting to TGA format with Alpha channel in version 1.7.3 and had some problems with it. TGA header has information about bytes per pixel equals 4, but ImageDescriptor field hasn't any information about bits for alpha channel (it is equals 0). With it some programs can't open exported TGA files File format reference - https://www.fileformat.info/format/tga/egff.htm#TGA-DMYID.2
