Ok, PaintShopPro requires a really dumb process every time you want to save a transparent PNG. In Photoshop, it's a simple checkbox.
If you want to save a PNG with transparency in PSP, you must do the following steps:
1. Pull down the File menu to Save Copy As...
2. Type in a file name.
3. Select Portable Network Graphics (*.png) under Save As Type
4. Click the Options... button in the lower right corner.
5. Click the Run Optimizer... button in the window that appears.
6. Click the Transparency tab in the PNG Optimizer window that appears.
7. Select Alpha channel transparency.
8. Make sure Existing image or layer transparency is selected below.
9. Click OK.
10. Click Save.
If you try to save a transparent PNG without doing this method you will get this cryptic error message "Because of the limitations of the specified file format (and possibly the save options you've selected), the saved file will be limited to a merged image. Would you like to continue?".
The next time you save a transparent PNG, when you go through the steps above, you will see that all your defaults have been saved BUT you must still do this process for each and every PNG you save.
