jpegs, are fine. tiff files are fine.
Catalyst uses quicktime - so they files formats that quicktime loads are normally - but not always OK.

Some image files can be too big to load into catalyst.
The largest file you can load is 2048x2048.
Thanks!Quote:

Catalyst also works with alpha channels in images directly.
So you can just create a tiff image with an aplha channel - where you want the area to be transparent.
jpegs, dont allow any transparency information - ( last time i checked )
TIFF files do.
Photoshop files also do - but you have to get the right layer and save settings.
I have created a tif file in photoshop - with the words 'TEST' in red on a transparent background.
If you load this into catalyst, the red letters will be transparent.
This is the original photoshop file
with unrasterized text.
You have to rasterize the text to make it usable in catalyst.

Thank you for the files and help, it was very kind of you to make the files!Quote:
