I think it might partly be a GraphicConverter in OS X problem. Chipp sent me a test image which works perfectly in Rev but looks weird when opened in GC. I upgraded to GC 4.5.1 and his image now works fine, but doesn't look as if any color is set to transparent. My images still aren't working correctly, but I have found that if I create a new image (rather than copying some clipart) and save it as a GIF, then it will come in transparent. otherwise, I can use a Mac only solution and set the ink to transparent. I still can't work out why I can't get PNGs to work transparently.

Cheers,
Sarah

AAARGGHHHH! I've done this before and now I can't get it to work. I am
importing an image and I can't get the background to be transparent. I
am using GraphicConvertor as my image editor and I have tried both PNG
& GIF files, both with the background color set to transparent. In GC
the background is shaded out and in the Finder it is greyed out. As
soon as I import, the background goes back to opaque white and I can't
do anything about it.


This is driving me crazy, so I anyone has any ideas, please help!


Sarah, I tried to reproduce the problem and couldn't, but I didn't use the image editor from inside RR. If I use GraphicConverter on MacOS 9.2.2 and use the 'T' tool to set transparency in a GIF, and save the GIF outside Revolution, then the 'Import as Control' item in the RR Dev environment does produce an image with transparency set (for me, anyway). Did you have trouble with this technique, or just the one where the image editor is invoked from within Revolution?
