I thought I'd customise my PS4 a little and have a custom profile picture, using the iPhone PSN app. Problem is, when uploaded the picture has a black background rather than being transparent.

I'm wondering if this is because the iPhone destroys the transparency when I'm emailing to to myself and saving it in photos, to upload from the app?

I've see folk with transparent pics, so how?

The only other option I see is Facebook so guessing this is how it's done? I don't use Facebook but my Fiancee does, so can I somehow use that for the sake of getting the image uploaded and then disconnect the account whilst retaining the picture?

Why so complicated!? :confused:

For the lolz, this is my planned profile pic.... Rage Face meets Ren & Stimpy :D

That image doesn't have a transparent layer mate...

I just added one quite roughly, but with a bit of time i'm sure you can do it :)

Thanks a lot mate, the image I posted wasnt the one Ive been trying to use, must have posted the original by mistake before I made it transparent in PS.

I did think it might have been my shoddy skills but have tried a few various ones straight from google images. Im thinking my iphone is killing the transparency the monent I save them in to my photos?
