Which sequence correctly exports a PNG with transparency from Photoshop?

• A. Open the target area, File > Export > Export As, choose PNG, ensure Transparency is checked, and export.
• B. File > Save As, select PNG, enable Interlacing.
• C. Use Save for Web and select JPEG.
• D. Export as TIFF with Alpha off.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is preserving transparency by using a format that supports an alpha channel and turning on that setting in the export process. PNG is designed to keep transparent areas, so exporting through the Export As workflow lets you choose PNG and explicitly enable transparency. In Photoshop, you select File > Export > Export As, pick PNG, and make sure Transparency is checked before exporting. This keeps the transparent parts intact when the image is placed on any background. Other options don’t fit because they either don’t support transparency (JPEG), or turn off the alpha channel (TIFF with Alpha off), or mix in steps (Save For Web) that don’t specifically ensure the transparency settings are preserved in the final PNG.
