Doing a Save As to tiff makes a grey background where the layer is transparent. Can’t have this. How do I fix it.

Well, open Preview Preferences and change the background-colour to your liking

Preview’s background colour - behind the image - has nothing to do with the transparent areas - inside the page area - of the intaglio image. These appear as grey when using ‘save as’ to a tiff. This problem is in Intaglio, and I do not find any Preview Preferences in that program. Even if I open the saved tiff in photoshop, the transparent areas show black.

This happens to me sometimes too.
Your transparent areas turning up black is to do with layer management.Try putting another layer below everything with a large area of white (or whatever).

Yep, that works, but obscures the grid.

try changing the transparency of the layer, or alternately, leaving the layer off until you go to export
to tiff again.
hope that helps

Yes, there are plenty of clever workarounds. I think it incumbent on the program to - somehow - export a tiff with non-transparent areas. Also, even as I can change the colour space to greyscale, Intaglio exports RGB tiffs. In grey, yes, but with extra colour layers entirely unnecessary. Yes, a clever workaround is to use Graphic Converter.
I don’t need the intensity and power of Illustrator. Intaglio fills this niche quite nicely. So I bought it, but this tiff problem I encounter now was masked by the save disabled demo.

Yes, there are, “too many workarounds”

You can run the following AppleScript to tell Intaglio not to export images with transparent pixels:
tell application “Intaglio” to set mask images to false

That is excellent. Thank you. I made another script to set it to true. What is needed however is to set a background layer with a box with no line and no fill, and lock it, so as to “clip” to the full page.
