IBL and PNG rendering settings

I am having difficulty finding out information about rendering in PNG Format.

I have a very simple file: card with a test pattern, IBL image and a directional light.

When I save the file via the Render view or Batch as a PNG I can see the IBL only if I use the imf_disp or fcheck.

I cannot see the IBL in Adobe After Effects or Photoshop.

However, if I save the same image as a Tiff, I have no issue.

Do I need special plugins to work with PNG files?

If this is the case what software likes PNG files?

Any links or answers would be appreciated.

Thank you

You can't see because of alpha. In after effects try to select footage " interpret footage " and sel

lect ignore alpha.
