I use PNG graphics exclusively, and load them dynamically from the
apps resource folder (under OS X) and a virtual volume (under windows).
I have a function app.resourcesfolder which returns one of three
pointers.
Mac OS X Built ) -> the bundles resources folder
Windows Built ) -> the resources virtual volume
Debugger) -> a folder called resources in the same folder as the project
Then I have a class called "PNGgraphic" with public properties
"ResourcesSubFolder as String" and "Graphic" as string
The class loads the graphic from the resources folder and
automatically applies the mask using the PNG files alpha channel.
Works a treat.

Our project has grown to the point that we have dozens of graphic
files, each of which has been dragged into the IDE and shows in
popup menus like the chooser for a backdrop in the IDE for a canvas.
I feel soon this will create a manageability issue.
How do other people handle dealing with lots of graphic files? Do
you use the IDE? Do you load them dynamically? Tips and tricks,
even on filing + naming appreciated.
PS -
This feature request would help the manageability as well:
Canvas Backdrop IDE Chooser Should Allow Typing Image Name
