I have a PNG with transparency - I can see that the transparency is indeed there by using GraphicConverter etc.
When I ran though the tutorial this kind of stuff worked fine with the included graphics, but when I drag (or otherwise import) my own I get a white background instead of the transparency I need.
I’ve searched this forum and the FAQ etc. and reread the book but no luck.
Unless you are importing the image as a pass-through image, Freeway
will probably convert it to a JPEG for output. You can override this
by selecting the image, then clicking on the Output tab of the
Inspector and changing the Type from JPEG to PNG and set Colors to
Millions.

Thanks Walter - but that’s not the answer I’m afraid. Both images were already designated as PNG and even with both specified to millions for the colors it makes no difference.
