Ok not a problem :) 1. Make your first image in photoshop/psp/ etc. Colour the areas you want transparent black. 2. Make a copy of the 1st image - do a save as. 3. Turn the 2nd image into a negative image. Your paint software will do this easily enough. In paintshop pro you just select "negative image" from the Colours menu. Dunno about photoshop. Save it. this is the alpha image. Call it "bob" for reference. 4. load vue. 5. create an alpha plane somewhere in your scene. 6. double click on the alpha plane you just made. The alpha plane options dialogue box will appear. 7. In the top box [color image] load your 1st picture. 8. In the lower box [alpha image] load the alpha piccy ("bob") you created eariler. 9. Click OK. 10. If it doesn't work. Load the 1st image in both boxes then in the lower box click on the icon (as in the picture) to make it a negative image. If you're still stuck, keep posting and I'll try to help you out.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
