Description a tutorial on how to get a picture made in sai to have transparency for those with the older english versions
if using gimp you can also use the tga to export with(not sure about photoshop but it should work)

Gimp is free

feel free to ask questions
1. alot of persons are saying you can do it directly from sai
ans. i have a older verson of sai and when clicking png the box does not pop up
2. yes i realized i could update it and i finally did -_-

DraconianRain In reply to ??? [2012-12-18 06:28:04 +0000 UTC]

you can do that in sai if you export as png 32 bit ARGB opacity. Exporting as png 32 will save as a transparent bg. No need for gimp if sai is installed correctly.

Because most people tend to have a cracked version of SAI.

I'm fully aware of this, and If the owner is posting a tutorial with cracked software then they can get into very serious trouble. Never meant to offend by my inquiry.

True, hope they don't get in trouble either.
And no offense taken, just making a statement. x)
