Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way (or an image format, more specifically) that will allow you to define your own alpha channels for DL2? I'm using it primarily for toys, and while the native transparency functions work pretty well with cutting white backgrounds out of JPGs, it's not perfect, as it doesn't cut out interior white space, and it does occasionally try to strip the white parts out of some items.

I've tried using both GIFs and PNGs with transparency, in a number of different formats, but both give me a big black square with my image in the middle of it (the areas that should be transparent end up black).

Has anyone found a way to do this?

Thanks!
