[Importing images without backgrounds]

shorter,

i just tested out switching the backgound to black (in the preferences) on the file that I created before (the one with the silhouetted objects). It worked fine!

are you sure that you are dropping out the background properly?

that's it! thanks to both of you... the combination of both answers solved the problem! it's a simple matter of copying, pasting, and setting the fill to "none"! thanks again.

[Importing images without backgrounds]

Is it possible to import an image from photoshop or illustrator without the background? I am trying to bring in images of irregularly shaped objects, but I don't want the rectangular white background that seems to show up automatically. In Illustrator it is possible to import a PSD as layers and delete the background layer. Is there any way to do this in VWorks?
