[Bf-committers] Adding an alpha channel though Python's image.save()

[Campbell Barton]

This is a limit in the API, and saving at different bit-depths should
be possible,
for a quick workaround you could set scene render settings and use
Image.save_render method (which is intended for render-engine
integration but I think it would work in your case).

If the image loaded in does not have an alpha channel, calling image.save() on it will not add one, even if it does show up correctly in the UV/Image Editor. Saving the image manually from the Editor it works, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the batch processing. ;)
