image elements: Image elements are used to hold raster or bitmap images. You can import any bitmap supported by the version of QuickTime installed on your computer, including BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF, PSD and PICT, as well as other file formats. You must import bitmap images into Image elements. When you place a background image in your scene, make sure you place the element column at the extreme right (the bottom layer) of the Exposure Sheet. If you activate the Auto Light Table and you place a background element to the left of other elements, you may hide other elements or only see the background element in your Drawing View window. Graphic formats like PNG and TGA support an alpha channel, which allows you to make certain parts of an imported image transparent.
