Image Transparency Issues

Hi there DarthCaedusII,

While we'd like to help however we can regarding the issue you're having with viewing these photos, we need to better understand what's happening:

1. Are we correct in saying that in Photos, all of your photos are showing this icon on the screen? If that's not right, please provide us more specific details. The more we have, the better equipped we'll be to assist.
2. Have the same photos ever worked without any issues in the Photos app, and if yes, when did this first start?
3. As you have a compatible iPad model, the latest version is iPadOS 15.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. Here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
4. If you already have iPadOS 15.1 installed, have you tried a restart of your iPhone? This link shows how to Restart your iPhone.

We look forward to hearing back from you about these details. Take care!

Hey DarthCaedusII,

While you can share videos of what's occurring with Apple Support on their Twitter channel, or even when chatting them, you may need to reach out to them for a better understanding of what's happening.

We're still not understanding fully what's happening from the details you provided so far. This may be in part to this issue being mixed with using the third-party app Procreate. While you may need to reach out to Procreate support about this, we only recommend that if needed. We still want to help however we can, but we need more specific details:

1. We are unable to make the connection between the details/screenshot you provided and what the actual issue is that's occurring. What exactly is happening with those three photos while viewing them in the Photos app? The more specific you can be, the better.
2. Any updates available for Procreate? Here are the steps to check: How to manually update apps on your Apple device
3. If you use iCloud Photos, does the same issue occur with those same three photos when viewing them on your other Apple devices?

Have a good one!

Hello, Procreate FAQ states:

Photos app automatically includes a solid background when your exported canvasses bigger than 4900.x 4900px or smaller than 360+360px.

I must assume they are talking about Apples Camera roll can you confirm if this is an iOS 15.1 limitation/condition?

I am not able to export with transparency either something has changed but both Procreate and iOS are updated so I am trying to find the root cause.

I am able to download an image online, created in Procreate to camera roll, with transparent background retained which points at Procreate 2 being responsible. I have just raised a ticket with them but they don’t respond very quickly from previous experience.

when exporting to retain transparent background your image needs to be no bigger than 4900x 4900px and no smaller than 360x360px as “photos app automatically includes a solid background

It doesn't work for 1400x1600 png image on iPad pro 1G with 15.1.
