Aye, Velvet, Aldaron, the reason you cannot import image files into the DTE directly is because the elements are NOT images. They are mathematical equations which create an image when combined. Does this make sense? When you shift click the "texture" element library on the right, you are actually looking at math, not images. As opposed to the library that rochr displayed, which is the material library. A ".jpg" file contains no fractal values, so will never work in this case...
