This is because you're drawing the image incorrectly for your purposes. If you: [[theImage TIFFRepresentation] writeToFile: [@"~/Desktop/halla.tiff" stringByExpandingTildeInPath] atomically: YES]; That'll write the image to your desktop. Open it in Preview or something, and you'll see that the background is, in fact, transparent. What you want to do instead is use a different compositing operation when you draw the image. NSCompositeSourceOver is most likely what you want: [theImage drawAtPoint: NSZeroPoint fromRect: NSZeroRect operation: NSCompositeSourceOver fraction: 1.0]; David _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
