Hello Tim, The tiny images were just the placeholder images I suppose. When I went through the conversion in v13 and then set the transparency in v16 everything looks normal! And it seems the 0x00FFFFFF works both ways. I started without the quotes in my initial effort and then added the quotes to see if that would make things better, but it had no effect. Thanks! Alan
