Save visible layers with transparent/alpha background
Hi,
I set my background-layers to hidden and tryed to save my city with a transparent background, so that I can put it over a background I made with photoshop. So, that's not working .
How can I get such an image with CC3? Didn't found anything in the help, save-as-options or manual. Always a white background.
Thanks a lot!

And I can't imagine that this isn't possible (it's not even hard to code; there would be no reason to disable this). I saw a lot of maps in the internet which were made with the help of photoshop. how did they do this? I mean,... you can't draw a beautiful background with just CC3. Eather the software would be useless for me. It's nice to have money-back guarantee, but I would like to work with this software. It's such a trivial feature... everything else is fine... how do you polish your maps?
Thank you!
But perhaps more efficiently, you could save your Photoshop background as a png and import it into CC3 on the BACKGROUND sheet.
I thought of the second way, too. It should work in the most cases but it will be very annoying to work with. Best solution will be both I think (for those facing the same problems):
1. save the layers without shading and other effects.
2. create a background layer in phtoshop and add the CD3-layer
3. remove the white background
4. design the background fitting to the buildings
5. save the layer and open it in CD3
6. save the map with CD3 (and all effects) and open it with photoshop
7. do the foreground rework
But please... add such a feature ... As long as you can't paint/use brushes and so on in CC3.
But even with FastCAD - definitively using overlays - finaly a png can be rendered. So, it doesn't have to be a paint program. It's just a script deciding to place a white or a transparent pixel for the background (not used space) when creating the file. But okay, I got it... it's not possible here.
