Ok a quick fix for the .tga problems some may be having with ps7.
This came from the Adobe user forums.

"PS 7 no longer has alpha channel support with Targa files. It has been replaced by a transparency channel, which is the correct method according to the targa file specification. However, 3rd party software will recognize the transparency channel as a 'virtual' alpha channel.

If your workflow requires you to have the alpha channel, you can replace Photoshop 7's Targa file format plug in with PS 6's Targa file format plug in, until a fix is released.

The file is Targa.8BI and is located in the Photoshop folder>Plug-Ins>File Formats.

It is rumoured that this behaviour will be changed to that of Version 6 in the next patch to Photoshop."

only bad thing about this is not many people have access to ps6 in order to fix this, if they had only just bought ps7.
