png thumbnail has black background
Permalink
I'm using the Gallerific add-on.http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/gallerific/...
When I place my .png in the "Content" Block it appears as it should with the transparent background.
BUT, when I place my .png into the Gallerific add-on it has a black background and doesn't look right.
I took a look at the source code and every time the image is cached it turns into a .jpg for some reason.
Has anyone else ran into this issue? Is there a fix?
I found this link but there is no answer here either...http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/png_thumbn...
Thoughts? I also submitted a forum support with the add-on here.http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=170607...
With the problem being a core caching issue I wasn't for sure where to post.

bump. any thoughts at all on this?
Hey Brian,
As you probably spotted in the other thread, it has to do with the image helper converting images to jpg's. IIRC, it is possible to detect the format of the image you are about to convert and maintain the format. I can't promise anything, 'cos I'm crazy busy at the moment, but if I do get the chance to look at this I will. That image helper really needs a complete overhaul...
