Hi,
What are Targas used for?
Thanks,
Ron
Ron,
Aside from the 2-D texture mapping, they are still used by many video programs for effects, menus, etc. Folk, using MACs with Final Cut Pro for NLE (Non- Linear Editing) use them as still images quite often. I see them for effects and transitions in NLE apps.
I do not know FCP, but have had several instances where vid-editors needed TGAs, in lieu of TIFFs for inclusion in video productions. No problem on my end converting TIFFs and PSDs to TGAs. Only limitation that I saw was that Bridge would not preview TGAs on my XP-box, though ThumbsPlus did, and I’ll bet that Irfanview would too. At the time, I inquired on the Adobe Forum, and was told that it was a limitation of Bridge on the Win OS. Do not know how ThumbsPlus got around that, but it was not something that Adobe could do – then.
To the OP, I think that the others are right-on in their comments on 16-bit, or Layers. A little more info on how the file came to your computer, i.e. format, etc., and the editing that you did to the file, might be able to explain where the problem is.
