Need Photoshop CS6 Transparency Help

[Evan Owen]

I'm using Photoshop CS6 to create a program icon (.BMP) and I'm trying to make it a rasterized icon, but every time I save and apply the file there's transparent pixels that Windows reads as white pixels that appear to highlight my icon. I can simply flatten the image to get rid of the transparency but it de-rasterizes it. 

 

My question is how do I keep the image rasterized while eliminating pixel transparency?

Is your rasterized layer at the back?

Is the background of the icon layer in-front deleted so you can see the rasterized layer?

Is there no layers in between?

 

Make sure you save as PNG.

It's a one layer document and has to be saved as BMP because it's for a desktop icon, Otherwise I'd use PNG.

It's finally fixed now :D I just took my PNG file and converted to an ICO file instead of BMP and the odd white highlighting of the icon went away.

Let it'll flatten automatically when you save it. If you use the layers until you save it stops you getting confused.
