    I do have PSP and PS. I was just wondering why that happens when you open it in paint.

    heh for some reason I interpretted PS and paintshop, aka paint...

    PAINT doesn't really have transparency support, so yeah everything will be at full opacity.

    Cuz you can't get transparent images in paint. There's always a background. In PS you can get transparent images which are indicated by a checkered pattern.

    You'll see that if you open up the render in PS.
