Since PSP7 is like ten years old it wouldn't surprise me if the PNG implementation it uses just can't handle transparency.

Well, when I save an image as .PSP (PSP7's default format), it shows as having a "Layer1", and when I open it back up it retains its transparency. However, when I choose to merge the layers, said transparency turns white right before your eyes. So PSP7 fails to retain transparency if an image only has its "Background" layer, rather than an actual layer.

For .PNGs, the reason I say I have to finish my image in one sitting is because, when I'm done, I have to use the "Selections > Modify > Transparent Color (or CTRL + T)" to select what I want to be saved to transparency, then go to "Save to Alpha Channel" also under Selections and it'll save with transparency, just once I close it I can't re-open it in PSP 7 again because it doesn't display the transparency (and thus have to use Paint.NET to safety-check it). Plus when I try to save a .PNG with multiple layers, it gives me this, so it's kind of a dead end for .PNGs with transparency. Blank
