Author Exporting frame with alpha for Photoshop import

The shot is a hand in front of a green screen that I've keyed out with Keylight.
I'm exporting a frame with an alpha channel, using Composition> Save Frame As> File, with options RGB+Alpha, Millions of Color+, and either Straight or Premultiplied. (Straight seems to work better, at least in Premiere Pro 1.5.1)

When I bring it into Photoshop, I can't figure out how to use the alpha channel- the background is black no matter what I do. When I import the same file into Premiere, it works fine.

What I need to be able to do is use Keylight in AE, export a frame to tweak in PShop, and finally import that frame into PrePro.

I'm using AE6.5 Pro, Photoshop CS2, and PrePro 1.5.1.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

In AE export your frame as Photoshop Layers and all will be fine;-)
